"Trump has been fighting a battle over affordability since the Election Day bloodbath, insisting concerns over prices are a con job, and repeatedly claiming he's already solved the issue. A raft of new new polls show Trump getting clobbered on the economy but Trump continues to call the issue a hoax or a con job."
"Well, that's rhetoric on his part. There's nothing surprising or unpredictable about that. You could see that coming from a mile away because he has to say that right now because it's an issue and a concern for the American people. And he wants to act as if there is no concern because everything he's doing is just so beautiful and so marvelous and what have you."
"Leading up to the election, they did just that, and I thought they handed him the election as opposed to him actually winning it. Now they're forcing him to play ball and figure out a way to beat them because they're coming and they're gaining some momentum. We'll see what happen"
Stephen A. Smith condemned President Donald Trump's repeated dismissal of affordability concerns as a 'con job' and labeled that rhetoric as an attempt to downplay real voter anxieties. Smith said Trump must deny the problem because affordability is a salient issue and Trump seeks to portray his actions as flawless. Smith credited Democrats with learning from their defeat by refocusing on price and economic worries and forcing Trump to respond. Smith argued Democrats are gaining momentum and pressuring Trump to 'play ball' on affordability, while polling shows Trump underperforming on economic measures.
