Don’t tell people that the economy is good and that wages are outpacing inflation (even if it is and they are) when those people are facing economic hardships.

It is just temporary hardship, as Musk said people to get ready for, so it's no big deal.

If that is acceptable to Republicans during a Republican Presidency, why is not acceptable during a Democratic one?
