Trump says he has done a ‘bad job’ explaining his economic record
The US president made the comment as his job approval rating sagged under the weight of high gasoline prices ahead of the November midterm elections.
On a recent Hispanic Heritage Month event at the White House, US President Donald Trump lamented that he has done a very bad job of explaining the positive state of the country's economy. As he prepares for a 32-day campaign push for Republican candidates in the upcoming November midterm elections, Trump's approval rating has dropped due to high gasoline prices and the ongoing war with Iran, which has driven up energy costs.
Despite job growth accelerating in August, consumer confidence has reached a 12-1/2-year low, with households expecting worsening business and labor market conditions. Trump argued that his administration is doing an extremely good job of running the country, but claims the party is failing to effectively communicate this message. He urged supporters to vote, stating that they need to turn the tide.
