Republicans on Capitol Hill are seething that Donald Trump is not more focused on the economy as this year's midterm elections approach, warning it could obliterate the narrow GOP congressional majority.
Polling indicates that voters are souring on Trump and his Republican allies in Congress ahead of his November's elections that will prove fateful for the President's agenda.
In addition to the lack of attention to fixing the economy, senior aides also identified the nomination of Federal Housing Finance Director Bill Pulte, a close ally of the President, to lead the Office of the Director of National Intelligence as an unforced error, as well as the focus on the anti-weaponization fund.
A record 63 percent of Americans disapprove of Trump's handling of the economy, according to a new Economist/YouGov survey released this week. Nearly six in ten say that the economy is getting worse.
The Iran war has caused oil prices and everyday goods to spike while the consumer price index showed this week that inflation has climbed to 4.2 percent, the highest level in three years.
'I love the inflation,' Trump flippantly said in the Oval Office this week when pressed on whether he's concerned about Americans facing higher costs.
Behind closed doors on Capitol Hill, Trump's disregard for the turbulent economy - and focus on niche personal issues - has infuriated some working to sell his MAGA agenda.
'People are pissed the f*** off that prices are too high and things are too expensive,' a senior GOP Senate aide told the Daily Mail.
'It doesn't seem like there's a lot of focus on affordability going into the midterms when that's the number one issue that people care about – how can they afford gas, groceries and healthcare.'

It’s the economy, stupid.
At least Wall Street is up faster than the rate of inflation.
“Republicans on Capitol Hill are seething” Name them.
Consider the source...
My guess is a lot of them. They know they’re going to lose.
So they only worry about the economy when it’s an election cycle? Economy hasn’t been great for some time, despite the ‘favorable’ data that is pushed.
A crappy internet poll.
So why don’t they name any of them? All they quote is a couple of “senior GOP congressional aides.”
My son is working for the Daily Mail
It’s a steady job but he wants to be a paperback writer
Paperback writer
It’s a dirty story of a dirty man
And his clinging wife doesn’t understand...
Donald always crows about the Dow and so forth. But when he cavalilierly said the other day “I don’t care about inflation “, I lost it. Has he bought groceries or filled up a car in his life?
Inflation will kill the mid terms for the GOP
‘I love the inflation,’ Trump flippantly said in the Oval Office this week when pressed on whether he’s concerned about Americans facing higher costs.”
I get that he was being flippant but it realllly does not play well on any stage. Sometimes he should just keep silent.
80% of what Trump does is fabulous, the other 20% various degrees of suck, but nobody else in my lifetime has come anywhere close to that.
More absolute BS from the Trump haters at the mail. It takes a shot at Trump and pushes “the economy is bad” narrative.
Funny. Some boomers will get it.
(but let's not mention which president was in charge then...)
Hey lightman, BIOYA.
These obviously propaganda posts are getting old.
All you stupid Republicans had to do was pass the SAVE act.
But you couldn’t even muster THAT.
Old dudes who park the cars.
I agree with your percentages. To which I’d add: Trump is the best US president since Reagan.
But here’s the thing. Folks vote on perceptions, not on reality. Right now too many swing voters have bad overall perceptions about what’s going on.
Trump needs to figure out how to fix this, and soon. “Steady as she goes” will not be a winning strategy.
