Trump's State Of The Union 'Avoided Issues' Says Tim O'Brien
Addressing one of his biggest audiences at perhaps the lowest moment of his second term, President Donald Trump returned again and again in his State of the Union speech to the same message on the economy: Everything is going great. A resolute Trump was determined to will Americans into a better economic mood, seeking to paint over the affordability concerns at the center of upcoming midterm elections with statistics and self-congratulation. "Inflation is plummeting. Incomes are rising fast. The roaring economy is roaring like never before," Trump boasted early in the nearly two-hour speech. Bloomberg Opinion Senior Executive Editor Tim O'Brien joins Stephen Carroll and Lizzy Burden on Daybreak Europe Radio with his thoughts.
