BOMBSHELL: Trump’s Chaos Agenda Threatens to Torch Biden’s Economic Miracle – Experts Sound the Alarm!

Los Angeles Times Pulitzer Prize–winning business columnist Michael Hiltzik says the message from Tuesday night’s elections was unmistakable: Americans are feeling economic pain under President Donald Trump, and they are responding at the ballot box.

“The lesson delivered by the results is that Americans sense the economy is reeling,” Hiltzik wrote, noting that key economic indicators are “flashing yellow or even red.” The sweeping Democratic victories across the country, he added, only highlight how deeply frustrated voters are becoming.

Hiltzik points to polling that shows Trump is underwater on the economy by double digits. Since October 1, every major national poll has shown Trump’s economic approval rating in negative territory, with the RealClearPolling average sitting at –13.4 points.

Inflation is climbing again. The consumer price index rose to 3.0 percent in September, up from 2.3 percent in April, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Food costs are rising even faster, increasing from 2.1 percent in May to 3.1 percent this fall — a daily financial hit for millions of families.

Job growth has slowed sharply as well. Hiltzik notes that monthly job creation has been “fading since Trump took office,” even turning negative in several recent months. Meanwhile, farm bankruptcies are increasing, as Trump’s tariff wars shrink foreign purchasing of American crops like corn, soybeans, and wheat.

Consumer spending has also weakened, falling far below the growth levels recorded in the final year of Joe Biden’s presidency.

And with the ongoing government shutdown showing no clear end in sight, Hiltzik warns that “headwinds threaten to keep building.”

Hiltzik stresses that Trump inherited a strong, improving economy from Biden — not the troubled landscape Republicans now claim. When Biden took office, unemployment sat at 6.8 percent; it had fallen to 4.1 percent by the time Trump returned to the White House. Biden also oversaw stronger job growth and positive GDP gains, reversing several economic losses experienced under Trump’s first term.

But according to Hiltzik, Trump’s return to power has brought the very instability many economists feared. Business leaders are increasingly uneasy. In one Yale survey, 71 percent of CEOs said Trump’s tariffs are harming their operations, and most say the policies will not lead to increased U.S. investment.

The White House, however, continues insisting the economy is strong.

Hiltzik says the reality is far different.

“The signs are that the near future will be economically bleaker than the present,” he writes, noting that even the soaring stock market is concentrated in just a handful of AI-driven companies — raising doubts about how long those gains will last.

The warning, he says, came loudly on Tuesday.

Whether Trump is willing to hear it is another matter.
