Trump's spin on the economy is not convincing Americans
Mint Hyderabad

Rejecting inflation will alienate the people who are feeling its pain
American President Donald Trump is taking a page from former President Joe Biden when it comes to the economy: trying to convince Americans that their lived experiences of higher prices aren't real. It's a head-in-the-sand strategy that doomed Biden and the Democratic Party in 2024. It didn't work for Biden, and it isn't working for Trump.
According to a Washington Post-ABC News-Ipsos poll, 62% of respondents disapprove of Trump's handling of the economy, which has centred on tariffs. That figure is up from 53% in February. Some 71% of respondents said they are paying more for groceries this year than they were last year. And almost 60% said they are paying more for utilities.
Yet, here is Trump this week: "Our energy costs are way down. Our groceries are way down. Everything is way down. And the press doesn't report it... When you look at a 25% reduction in cost for Thanksgiving between Biden and me, meaning this administration, that is a tremendous number... So I don't want to hear about the affordability because right now we are much less." He repeated the Thanksgiving claim on Friday.

Celebrating craft in all its forms
When the Mumbai store of Moonray, a four-year-old ready-to-wear label started by Karishma Swali and her daughter, Avantika, shut down a few months ago, it seemed like it would cease to exist. But last week, the same address in the cultural district of Kala Ghoda opened the doors to Chorus, a brand by the mother-daughter duo that expands the Moonray universe to include ready-to-wear, couture, skincare, and a café with craft at the centre.
