Voters on any given day might hear President Donald Trump crowing about the economy and Democrats who want to replace him in November talking about how bad things are.
The president, in Davos, Switzerland, for the World Economic Forum, for instance, boasted about “America’s extraordinary prosperity.”
“America is thriving,” Trump said Monday. “America is flourishing and yes, America is winning again like never before.”
Meanwhile, Democratic contender Pete Buttigieg insisted in Iowa last week the economy isn’t working for the middle class.
“The president wants us to think the economy is doing great,” he said, “because the Dow Jones is up. But not a lot of that seems to be getting to our kitchen tables.”
