After Trump used prime-time speech to deny economic reality, his aides reassured him he did great | Fortune
"The checks are already on the way,"
"Eleven months ago, I inherited a mess, and I'm fixing it,"
"We're poised for an economic boom, the likes of which the world has never seen."
President Donald Trump delivered a prime-time televised address that blamed Democrats for economic challenges and sought to shift responsibility for rising prices. He announced a $1,776 "warrior dividend" bonus for about 1.45 million military members, funded in part by tariffs and totaling roughly $2.6 billion. The $1,776 amount referenced the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. The address used holiday imagery but carried partisan rhetoric, promising an unprecedented economic boom while inflation remained elevated and the job market weakened following import taxes, eroding public approval.
