Republicans Shocked Economy Isn’t a Magical Buffet Despite GOP Chef Trump

KEY POINTS

•Since February, Republican consumer sentiment plummeted 15.1 points to 82, the lowest amid Trump’s presidency except Dec 2020.
•Joanne Hsu said Republicans expected economic tailwinds from Trump policies like tariffs but instead saw inflation persist.
•Despite faltering confidence, White House spokesman Kush Desai praised tax cuts and deregulation as proven strategies fueling resilience.

Republican consumer confidence took a nosedive faster than you can say 'tariffs and inflation,' dropping 15.1 points between February and recent University of Michigan surveys, from 97.1 all the way down to 82 — the lowest since Trump’s post-election sulk in December 2020. Meanwhile, Democrats barely flinched, sliding only 1.6 points. Experts like Joanne Hsu explain that Republicans expected Trump’s economic policies to miraculously tame inflation, but all they got was a stubborn price tag marathon rivaling the Iran war’s endurance contest. Even White House spokesman Kush Desai insisted tax cuts and deregulation surely mean progress, which apparently only Wall Street stocktips see. As midterms loom, GOP faith in Trump’s magic economy wand is crumbling, proving even Republicans don’t buy the hype anymore.
