Trump walks messaging tightrope on economy and prices

Original: Trump's economic tightrope messaging of strong economy, high prices

President Trump is attempting to send two economic messages at once: that the economy is strong under his leadership, while also acknowledging that prices remain high for many Americans. The balancing act highlights a core political challenge, as arguing the economy is thriving can clash with voters' lived experience of costly groceries, housing and energy, giving Democrats an opening to press the affordability issue.

Why now: Voter concern over high prices is a persistent political vulnerability, making the administration's mixed economic messaging newly contentious.
