What happened

Some supportReported by 2 outlets

White House economic adviser Kevin Hassett has defended President Donald Trump’s economic agenda against polls showing growing consumer pessimism. Hassett argued that ground-level realities, such as prices at the grocery store, supported the view of a 'really strong economy.' This defense occurs while surveys indicate significant financial strain, noting that only two-thirds of U.S. households paid all their bills on time over the past year.
