Raw Story
A top economic adviser to President Donald Trump argued Thursday that the economy was "amazing" despite a recent poll showing that most Americans don't agree.
Kevin Hassett, the National Economic Council director, told CNN anchor Pamela Brown that Trump's economy was benefiting Americans.
"But we have this poll where 77% of Americans say economic conditions are overall poor.
Is this the 'amazing' economy the administration thought you'd all be boasting about when the 'Big, Beautiful Bill' was passed more than a year ago?"
Hassett tried to argue that the economy was worse off under former presidents Barack Obama and Joe Biden.
