GADZOOKS! CNN Latest Brain-Dead Take Is that Trump ‘Might Regret’ ‘Refocusing’ on Economy
NewsBusters ^ | 1/30/2026 | Joseph Vazquez

President Donald Trump is making a huge mistake campaigning on the economy -- an economy that’s projected to have expanded well over four percent at least in the fourth quarter of 2025. At least, that’s the newest hot take being blurted into cyberspace by CNN.

CNN Business Senior Writer Allison Morrow, who’s developing quite the reputation for mastering the art of incoherence, published yet another example of brain-dead anti-Trump screeds January 28, “Trump wants to refocus voters’ attention on the economy. He might regret it.”

Yes, that's a real headline. So what exactly — pray tell — should Trump talk about before the midterms then, eh Morrow? She didn’t say. Morrow took aim at Trump's alleged whingeing about “how unfair it is that not everyone agrees with him about how great his economy is. And maybe that’s because this economy makes no sense.”

No, what actually “makes no sense” is the logic she’s employed to castigate the Trump economy. Just a couple of days ago, Morrow once again butchered common sense by alleging that Trump’s economic agenda “could work” but would still somehow hurt Americans. Yeah, we couldn’t make sense of that either.

Just reading how Morrow described the Biden economy as far back as July 2024 showcases how incredibly dumb she treats her readers: “We did it, y’all! Get the Champagne on ice and gather the townsfolk because America hath slain the beast known as inflation. (Or, at least, it’s hit a turning point.)” Cue the canned laughter.

Democrats: “It’s the economy, stupid.”

Also Democrats: “You’re focusing on the economy?? What are you? Stupid?”

Prices still up at grocery. Gas prices came down several cents.

You realize prices will never go back to pre Covid levels. What you should expect is no increases for a long time. Some commodities like milk and a few others may actually decrease but not many.

Well, prices won't drop unless there is deflation. Luckily, inflation is quite a bit lower now, so the prices won't climb as fast. But I'm afraid we're stuck with the higher prices due to the Democrat economic policies.

Prices are only half the equation. The question is what are wages doing? I seem to have read that they are rising.

“”””Gas prices came down several cents.”””

Gas is down to $2.71 in Minneapolistan. That is much more than a few cents.
