Our border is closed \u2013 totally closed \u2013 and America is respected all over the world,\u201d Trump said in the speech.<\/p>\n<p>Trump delivered his speech amid a growing backlash to his immigration crackdown in neighbouring Minnesota, warning that a Democratic Party victory in November\u2019s midterm elections would lead to \u201cvery bad things\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf we lose the midterms, you\u2019ll lose so many of the things that we\u2019re talking about, so many of the assets that we\u2019re talking about, so many of the tax cuts that we\u2019re talking about,\u201d Trump said.<\/p>\n<p>He pointed to the strong performance of the US stock market, which is at a record high, as evidence for the success of his tax cuts and tariffs. He also touted a $70m investment by farm-equipment maker Deere &amp; Co in the state of North Carolina.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI made a lot of people rich that I don\u2019t even like\u2026 I\u2019ve doubled their net worth,\u201d the president said.<\/p>\n<p>Trump also rebuffed criticism that his administration had failed to properly address cost-of-living concerns, accusing Democrats of inflating the issue for political reasons.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s a word that they came up with: \u2018affordability\u2019. Every time you hear the word, remember, they are the ones who caused the problem,\u201d Trump said, falsely claiming that his administration had brought down grocery prices and had inherited the highest inflation in history.<\/p>\n<p>Trump\u2019s speech and his pitch to voters come amid signs of widespread disillusionment with his handling of the economy, one of his strongest issues in the 2024 election campaign.<\/p>\n<p>In a New York Times\/Siena poll released last week, just 32 percent of Americans rated the economy as better than it was a year ago.<\/p>\n<p>While the US economy has outperformed the expectations of many analysts over the past year, economists say the headline figures obscure signs of weakness buried within the economic data.<\/p>\n<p>Gross domestic product (GDP) grew an annualised 4.3 percent in the final quarter of 2025, the strongest performance in two years and well ahead of other advanced economies.<\/p>\n<p>But much of the economic gains have gone to wealthy Americans, with the top 10 percent of earners accounting for roughly half of all spending, according to estimates by Moody\u2019s Analytics.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Trump attempts to shift focus to bread-and-butter issues\u00a0amid outcry\u00a0over two fatal shootings\u00a0by federal agents.\u00a0 Published On 28 Jan 202628 Jan 2026 Click here to share on social media share2 Share United States President Donald Trump has touted his economic record in a superlative-laden speech that sought to shift public focus to bread-and-butter issues amid outrage [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":10108,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-10107","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-us-canada-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/inernews.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10107","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/inernews.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/inernews.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/inernews.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/inernews.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=10107"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/inernews.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10107\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/inernews.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/10108"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/inernews.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=10107"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/inernews.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=10107"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/inernews.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=10107"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
