Part 4/7:
Media Perception vs. Economic Reality
Despite a negative sentiment among some media outlets regarding the state of the economy, which have prematurely anticipated a downturn following Trump’s policies, actual economic performance has consistently exceeded expectations since February. The stock market retains strength, and financial forecasts continue to be misleading.
Supporters argue that the continual rise in economic indicators underscores how off-target many traditional economic experts have been regarding the outcomes of Trump's policies, especially when comparing them to the prior administration. This context provides a basis for excusing the current approval ratings, with many supporters expressing satisfaction with the numbers.
