Trump has downplayed rising living costs, calling concerns a &#8220;con job&#8221; by Democrats and inaccurately claiming prices for groceries and othre essentials are down. Though, evidence contradicts these claims, showing increases in food prices, car insurance, and general expenses, continuing a trend of inflation that began under President Biden. Trump&#8217;s focus on luxurious White House renovations and <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >hosting foreign dignitaries frustrates<\/a> many of his supporters who are struggling with affordability. Simultaneously occurring, Vice President Vance has acknowledged the severity of the affordability crisis left by the previous administration and the work still needed to improve everyday Americans&#8217; financial situations. The article urges trump to follow Vance&#8217;s example and address economic concerns sincerely rather than dismiss them.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<div>\n<p>When President Trump is asked about the economy from now on it would be a good idea for him to simply refer back to one of his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/carson-points-out-that-every-democratic-plan-has-backfired-in-trumps-favor-as-seen-in-the-bible-2\/\" title=\"Carson points out that e...ry Democratic plan has backfired in ...&#039;s favor, as seen in the Bible\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/hunter-biden-defector-emails-pipeline-to-obama-admin-seen-as-currency\/\" title=\"Hunter Biden Defector Emails: &#039;Pipeline&#039; to Obama Admin Seen as &#039;Currency&#039;\">vice president<\/a>&#038;rsquo<\/a>;s interviews last month. J.D. Vance was able to talk about it then in ways that Trump is apparently incapable of now.<\/p>\n<p>MAGA people are nearly in tears of rage this week for good reason after watching Trump repeatedly declare all is well on the home front while he <a href=\"https:\/\/www.axios.com\/2025\/10\/15\/trump-white-house-remodel-plans\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">gallivants<\/a> around the White House grounds with foreign leaders, showing them his latest gold-trimmed renovations. It&rsquo;s not that the president is tending to world affairs or trifling with his silly renovation projects. It&rsquo;s that all is not well here in America, where the people who elected him actually live.<\/p>\n<p>Asked on Fox News this week about enduring voter concerns on the obscene costs of living, Trump <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/Acyn\/status\/1988037553711415508\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">said<\/a>, &ldquo;More than anything else it&rsquo;s a con job by the Democrats.&rdquo; He then suggested the fact that &ldquo;costs are up&rdquo; is a talking point created by the news media, followed by a confounding assertion that &ldquo;costs are way down.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>In that same vein, Trump <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/Acyn\/status\/1986601008714424812?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1986601008714424812%7Ctwgr%5Efccb562cb85e4f135a5df34e9fbec2403c5cf841%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.buzzfeed.com%2Flily_grossinger%2Ftrump-walmart-thanksgiving-prices\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">said<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2025\/11\/07\/media\/trump-affordability-baier-heinrich-fox-media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">last week<\/a>, &ldquo;Our groceries are way down. Everything is way down.&rdquo; He said that on camera, believe it or not. Oh, he also said, &ldquo;I don&rsquo;t want to hear about the affordability.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>It&rsquo;s untrue that &ldquo;everything is way down,&rdquo; and it&rsquo;s an insult to readers to have to prove it. But to be sure, car insurance is up <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/select\/average-cost-of-car-insurance\/#:~:text=That's%2012%25%20higher%20than%20it,have%20persisted%20since%20the%20pandemic.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">12 percent from last year<\/a>, the president&rsquo;s own Agriculture Department acknowledges that food prices are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ers.usda.gov\/data-products\/food-price-outlook\/summary-findings#:~:text=In%202025%2C%20overall%20food%20prices%20are%20predicted%20to%20rise%203.0,to%20retail%20food%20price%20changes.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">rising faster than usual<\/a>, and even Amazon has increased it&rsquo;s average price on stuff by almost 13 percent since the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2025\/11\/05\/amazon-target-walmart-raising-prices-tariffs.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">start of 2025<\/a>. This comes after the country was sandbagged by a cry-inducing <a href=\"https:\/\/budget.house.gov\/press-release\/bidens-20-percent-inflation-tax-costs-american-families-over-17000-per-year\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">20 percent increase<\/a> in prices under Joe Biden.<\/p>\n<p>The current president would be forgiven for the costs of basic needs not having dropped back to where they were in 2019 just one year into his second term. Getting even close to that is going to take time. But &ldquo;I don&rsquo;t want to hear about the affordability&rdquo; is unacceptable to everyone who put him in office precisely because the last president blew off the same problem and, indeed, denied it even <em>was<\/em> a problem.<\/p>\n<p>But, hey, how&rsquo;s that new ballroom and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/articles\/cy7e8lv176go\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Arc de Trump<\/a> coming along?

Targeting Police Unions\">working-class people<\/a> having to constantly think up new ways to stretch a dollar.<\/p>\n<p>Just two weeks ago Vice President J.D. Vance was saying all the right things as they relate to the economy. &ldquo;We&rsquo;re nine months into this thing, we&rsquo;ve done a lot of good,&rdquo; he said in <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/Ronxyz00\/status\/1983497084385829322\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">an interview<\/a> with the New York Post&rsquo;s Miranda Devine. And then he asserted the administration&rsquo;s proper ownership of the problem at hand. &ldquo;There&rsquo;s a lot more work to do because, I mean, look, the thing that I most worry about is that Biden left us a terrible affordability crisis,&rdquo; he said. &ldquo;We&rsquo;ve got to make life more affordable for American citizens. Again, we&rsquo;ve chipped away at that problem, but there&rsquo;s a lot more work to do there.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Obviously more is expected than just an acknowledgment that people continue taking on credit card debt and staking out second jobs just to keep up with their bills. But at a minimum, it&rsquo;s demanded of the president to assure everyone that he isn&rsquo;t just having a good time with dignitaries in his eternal quest to secure a Nobel Peace Prize.<\/p>\n<p>If his vice president can do it, so can Trump.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<div>\n<p>      Eddie Scarry is the D.C. columnist at The Federalist and author of &#8220;<a href=\"\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B0FR8XCMYC\">Traitors: The Democrat Party&rsquo;s Collapse into Anti-American Filth<\/a>.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Trump should refer to VP Vance&#8217;s recent economic remarks<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":493,"featured_media":2510090,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/JD-Vance.png","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[546,33651],"tags":[18297,4590,36338,3634,15469],"class_list":["post-2510088","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-federalist","category-the-western-journal","tag-affordability","tag-prices","tag-talking-points","tag-trump","tag-vance"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/JD-Vance.png","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2510088","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/493"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2510088"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2510088\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2510092,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2510088\/revisions\/2510092"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2510090"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2510088"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2510088"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2510088"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
