"The trip hints the dilemma faced by Trump. He wants to take credit for rewiring the U.S. economy with his large tariff hikes and extension of income tax cuts, but he also continues to blame Biden for the increase nationwide in inflation rates that occurred this year during his own presidency. Overall, inflation is tracking at 3% annually, up from 2.3% in April when Trump rolled out a sweeping set of import taxes."
"A White House official said Trump would be making the trip to discuss ending the inflation crisis that he says was inherited from his predecessor, Joe Biden. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because the trip has not been formally announced. It was not immediately clear where in Pennsylvania Trump would be visiting. Last month's off-year elections showed a shift away from Republicans as public concerns about affordability persist."
President Donald Trump plans to travel to Pennsylvania to highlight efforts to reduce inflation and declare an end to an inflation crisis he says was inherited from Joe Biden. A White House official spoke on condition of anonymity because the trip has not been formally announced and the specific location in Pennsylvania was not immediately clear. Recent off-year elections showed a shift away from Republicans amid persistent affordability concerns. Trump plans to emphasize direct communication about his economic policies. He calls affordability worries a Democratic "hoax" and seeks credit for tariff hikes and income tax extensions while blaming Biden for this year's inflation rise.
