Donald Trump tried to use his address to the nation to gaslight the country into thinking that the economy is doing better than it actually is. Despite what he says, the cost of living is much higher than it used to be and many people in the lower rungs of society are being squeezed out by the one-two punch of rising prices and the shrinking social safety net.

Government data shows that America’s official poverty rate is on the decline, but that’s based on an outdated calculation of the poverty threshold that ignores how life has changed in the six decades since it was first implemented.

Critics say antitrust enforcement has weakened under Trump, resulting in higher prices for millions of Americans consumers. Former FTC chair Lina Khan goes further and accuses the administration of “handing out special favors to corporate lawbreakers.”

Trump is showing confusion, fatigue, erratic behavior, and unexplained medical tests — and the White House won’t level with the public about what’s happening.

Greene criticized the president on “60 Minutes,” claiming Trump had been “extremely unkind” when she received death threats, and that other Republicans are “terrified to step out of line.”
