Fox's Brian Kilmeade Dings Trump's Affordability Hoax' Messaging: Could Make That Clearer'
"The only thing I think that he could subtly change is when he says, all this is a hoax. It makes some people on first blush say the president's not acknowledging that prices are higher. But what he is acknowledging is what he's doing about it. But he thinks the whole outrage that Democrats say, the president's causing this, is the hoax part of it. And I think he should just could make that clearer"
"It's going up at a slower rate and it's gonna keep going down, he said. Earhardt argued Democrats have not presented a plan that would not include raising taxes somewhere and Kilmeade agreed on a lack of a plan from the other side. The current basic inflation rate is 3%, slightly higher than when Trump took office, but prices have not risen at the same rate."
Advising a change in messaging that labels affordability complaints a hoax can reduce opponents' ability to claim lack of acknowledgment of higher prices. Messaging should emphasize that inflation is rising at a slower rate and is trending downward, while enumerating specific policy actions taken to address affordability. Critics argue the opposing party lacks a plan that avoids tax increases. Current core inflation sits near 3%, higher than prior administration baseline but well below the 2022 peak of about 9%. Effective communication should focus on concrete economic measures, clear inflation explanations, and challenging opponents to present actionable alternatives.
