Wednesday

The anchors on Bloomberg Radio singled that sentence out and reminded listeners that for the last 18 months he has been imploring the American people to believe that our economy is in terrible shape. Today he came out and tried to reassure Americans nervous about the tariffs that the economy is "still strong" or "still in great shape", or words to that effect. (Wish I had the precise quote).

I hope other news organizations and pundits caught that.
