The U.S. President Donald Trump stated this Saturday that “tariffs are creating great wealth and unprecedented national security for the United States.”
Trump also stated, in a post on his Truth Social network, that the trade deficit would have decreased "by 60%, something never seen before," that the country is experiencing "a 4.3% GDP growth, and rising," and that "there is no inflation."
"We are once again a respected country," he concluded in his usual manner.
A few days ago, it was reported that the Consumer Price Index rose by 2.7% over the last 12 months up to November, indicating a slight slowdown in inflation.
A recent Gallup poll revealed that only 36% of Americans approve of Donald Trump's performance, including 89% of Republicans, 25% of independents, and 3% of Democrats.
Trump's approval rating has remained in the red since last month, when it dropped to the lowest point of his second term, just above his personal low of 34% in January 2021.
Similarly, 74% of Americans are dissatisfied with the situation in the country, primarily due to a deteriorating perception of the economy in recent months, the polling agency adds.
