Americans are struggling financially, grappling with debt and the rising cost of living, and are blaming the Trump administration and corporate interests for worsening economic outlooks for working families, according to a new poll.

Six out of 10 Americans place blame on the Trump administration for driving up their cost of living, according to a poll conducted by Morning Consult for the Century Foundation, which asked 2,007 Americans how they are managing the high cost of living in the US economy, who they think is to blame and what are the solutions.

Sixty three per cent said Trump had had a negative impact on grocery prices, and 61% said he had had a negative impact on the cost of living. Nearly half, 49%, said the Trump administration had had a negative impact on their finances. Nearly eight out of 10 Americans, including 70% of Republicans, fear that Trump’s tariffs will increase the price of everyday goods.

    If you’re talking about yourself, then yes.

    You’re incapable of recognizing when you’re wrong because your ego can’t handle it.

      Halo, are you okay? You need help. I’m not really qualified to provide that, especially not over this medium, but I can recognize you are suffering from a break from reality. This is potentially very dangerous. Please reach out to a mental health professional.

        You’re the one following me around and replying to my posts everywhere.

        You’re projecting and I’m going to ignore you now because you’re also becoming a nuisance. Goodbye.

          Following you? That’s an interesting accusation. Care to back it up? I’ve only been responding to you on this thread. Have we crossed paths elsewhere?
