U.S. President Donald Trump, pictured on Oct. 5, 2026, has talked up a non-existent 'booming' economy, and called the affordability crisis a 'hoax.' He has also described the increase in the cost of gas as 'peanuts.' That is a hard sell to lower-income families facing hour-long commutes to work, writes Michael Harris.
