Is Trump's Economic Narrative Resonating with Americans?

President Donald Trump recently claimed, "The economy is booming... the stock market is higher than when I came into office (and) there’s no inflation." Yet, Americans remain skeptical, mirroring doubts from Biden’s era. High-profile voices on X amplify this divide. Let’s explore.

• Inflation Worries: Despite Trump’s claim, 62% of Americans fear rising prices, per Pew Research.
• Stock Market Disconnect: The Dow is up 15% since January 2025, but only 28% feel personal benefits (Reuters/Ipsos).
