🚨 TRUMP DECLARES AMERICA’S “GOLDEN AGE” AS ECONOMIC DEBATE INTENSIFIES WASHINGTON, UNITED STATES - Voters are being asked to judge the economy on direction rather than price levels. Falling inflation means prices are rising more slowly, not that they have returned to where they were before the inflation surge, creating a gap between economic statistics and personal experience. That gap gives both parties room to make credible sounding arguments from the same data. The White House has a strong incentive to keep attention on inflation trends, wage growth and investment figures, while critics will focus on housing, healthcare and other costs people face every month. Whether "Golden Age" becomes an effective political message depends less on inflation reports and more on whether households feel their purchasing power is genuinely improving by the time they vote.
