Trump Acknowledges Poor Communication of Economic Record Ahead of MidtermsPreviousNext

US President Donald Trump acknowledged he has done a poor job communicating his economic record amid declining approval ratings linked to high gasoline prices and economic concerns. Despite this, he asserted the country is performing well and urged supporters to vote in upcoming midterm elections. Consumer confidence recently fell to a near 12-year low, reflecting worries about business and labor market conditions. Trump plans a campaign tour to promote Republican candidates and improve public perception ahead of the November elections.
