Steve Moore: ‘Almost Every Single Indicator on the Economy Is Really Strong’

MOORE: “You know, I‘m really flummoxed by these numbers. And I‘ve seen these polls and they are all very consistent that people don‘t like the way Trump is handling the economy. And yet, what the press secretary said is absolutely true. Almost every single indicator on the economy is really strong. I mean, we have — we‘ve had 4% economic growth. The average family, after inflation, after taxes is $1,200 richer than they were than at the start of the year. We used to measure inflation, you know, the one barometer we always used was the gas price. That‘s down by about 30%, the lowest in five years. We have all this capital coming to the United States. The economy, in my opinion, as an economist, is really set up for a booming year in 2026. And yet, you know, the public doesn‘t — they don‘t — they‘re not seeing the love. And I don‘t know why. I can‘t explain it.”
WEST: “The part of the problem, my dear brother, is that the indicators that you talk about really don’t talk about the lived experience of the folk.”
