In a startling admission during a Fox News interview with Sean Hannity, newly-elected President Donald Trump openly revealed that he doesn’t care about the economy or the well-being of the average American. This comes just four days after his inauguration, and it’s a shocking, albeit unsurprising, shift from the rhetoric he used during his campaign. Instead of addressing pressing issues like economic struggles, Trump pivoted to attacking his predecessor, Joe Biden, and dismissed concerns about the economy altogether, claiming it would “do great” without offering any specific plans.
His direct, “I don’t care” response has sparked outrage, particularly among those who voted for him with the expectation that he would prioritize economic recovery and address the everyday struggles of Americans. Trump’s focus appears to be on settling scores and seeking revenge on those who opposed him, especially Biden, rather than addressing the current challenges facing the country. This has led to criticism across social media, with many pointing out the absurdity of his stance.
Despite Trump’s claims that the economy will improve under his leadership, many remain skeptical, especially since he has shown little interest in offering solutions to the issues that impact regular citizens. Some of his supporters are still holding out hope that his presence in office will magically fix everything, but his recent statements suggest he is more focused on personal vendettas than actual governance.
It’s becoming increasingly clear that Trump’s priorities might not align with the needs of the American people, and this admission is a stark reminder of how disconnected he can be from the struggles many face daily.
