Trump on Voter Concerns About the Economy and Gas Prices
Um, the economy was listed as a top concern,
uh, I know you know this, for voters
in New Jersey, New York, Virginia.
Um, I know you've been all over the
affordable- uh, affordability issue today and
for the last several months. Eggs, gas, uh, a dinner
cost for Thanksgiving way down, but other things, as you noted,
have gone up.
Beef, coffee-
Sure, but they're gonna come down very shortly
... auto repairs. Is this a voter perception issue of the
economy,
or is there more that needs to be done by Republicans on
Capitol Hill,
or done in terms of policy?
More than anything else, it's a con job by the Democrats.
They're saying...
They just have to say... You know, they put out something.
Say today costs are up. They feed it to the anchors of ABC,
CBS, and NBC and a lot of other, and, you know, CNN and
et cetera,
and it's like a standard... I'll never forget, they had a,
used a word like
manufactured. Do you remember the word manufact-
it's a manufactured

national
strategic reserves, which were taken out by Biden in order to try

... 'cause he was saying things were great and things weren't great
... let's say it's synonymous, Biden and Kamala, you know, because you didn't
know who the hell was campaigning. I mean, it got to a point.
So I was up by 20 points on Biden or some crazy number,
and they said, "All right. Let's get him out.
We'll put a new one." This never happened to anybody.
All of a sudden they have somebody new, and they had this six-week honeymoon, you
