The economy is one subject that is expected to feature heavily in Trump’s upcoming address. Many Americans are feeling a sense of anxiety, Peter Baker, the chief White House correspondent at The New York Times, said last night, whether because of “the advent of AI” or “because prices haven’t gone down”—and both are exacerbated by the president’s “inability to stick to that disciplined message” of affordability.
