"I would say, Rachel, that my takeaway from today is that the president or Trump 2.0 is definitely living in a gilded bubble. I would say, even if you compare it to his first term, the president is now surrounded by an administration that says yes, yes, please, thank you, and yes again. He truly is living like a king in this White House."
"It's as though his vantage point of the American people and the economy ends at the edge of the Mar-a-Lago property, because he spends his weekends there surrounded by very wealthy businesspeople. And when we asked him about the economy, he keeps pointing to the markets. He keeps pointing to your 401k. He keeps talking about, if you're a homeowner, how much the value of your home has gone up."
MS NOW host Stephanie Ruhle attended a pre-State of the Union lunch with President Trump and other network anchors. She characterized Trump as living in a "gilded bubble," surrounded by an administration that exclusively affirms his views. Ruhle noted Trump claims the U.S. will experience the greatest economy in history over the next three years, yet this contradicts polling data and consumer confidence metrics. She observed that Trump's economic perspective appears limited to wealthy circles at Mar-a-Lago, where he spends weekends with affluent businesspeople. When discussing the economy, Trump emphasizes stock market performance and home values, metrics primarily benefiting wealthy Americans rather than addressing broader economic concerns.
