With popularity at its lowest, Trump has exaggerated his achievements in a speech to the nation
The president has begun his speech by repeating many of the things he says in his nearly daily public appearances: attacking immigrants and the government of his predecessor, Joe Biden, and ensuring that in just a few months the US has gone "from the worst to the best" thanks to deportations, strict border closures, or the use of tariffs against other countries.
Donald Trumpaddressed the nation last night and tried to make a superlative assessment of his first year in power, exaggerating his economic achievements. His popularity is at its lowest level since January, mainly because of the rising cost of living in the country.
The president has begun his speech by repeating many of the things he says in his nearly daily public appearances: attacking immigrants and the government of his predecessor, Joe Biden, and ensuring that in just a few months the US has gone "from the worst to the best " thanksto deportations, strict border closures, or the use of tariffs against other countries.
According to Trump, the first eleven months of his second term have brought the biggest "positive changes" in history, and he has stressed that "wages are rising faster than inflation."
America's payroll is rising at a rate of about 4% this year, below the price hike, which is about 3%.
However, this marginal difference is not reaching much of the US population, and their pockets are becoming weaker and weaker, especially according to the Federal Reserve, with inflation from the tariffs that Trump decided to impose in April.
