(AURN News) — President Donald Trump is making sweeping promises about economic prosperity as his administration grapples with persistent inflation, slowing job growth and high grocery prices that continue to burden Americans in the early months of his second term.
The president’s economic agenda has been complicated by uncertainty surrounding his tariff policies, which have faced repeated delays, changes and possible reversals.
“All I know is this, we’re going to take in hundreds of billions of dollars in tariffs, and we’re going to become so rich you’re not going to know where to spend all that money. I’m telling you, you just watch. We’re going to have jobs, we’re going to have open factories. It’s going to be great,” Trump said Sunday while speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One.
The administration has yet to provide specific details on how tariff revenue would directly address current economic challenges facing American households or a timeline for the economic turnaround Trump is forecasting.
Trump’s comments come as many Americans continue to express concerns about their financial situation despite the president’s optimistic economic outlook.
