Trump calls weak economy a public relations problem
Original: Trump Says Economy Has 'Public Relations' Problem Amid High Prices and Slow Hiring https://www.nytimes.com/2026/10/03/bu
President Donald Trump said the US economy has a 'public relations' problem, arguing its weakness is one of perception rather than substance. His comments come as Americans continue to face high prices and slow hiring, with inflation and the job market expected to be central issues in the upcoming midterm elections.
Why now: Voters are frustrated with high prices and weak hiring ahead of the midterms, making the economy a politically charged topic.
