President Trump promised to lower costs on day one. Ten months into his second term, his administration now says America\u2019s affordability crisis is a 2026 problem. Meanwhile, everyday Americans are being laid off in record numbers \u2013 surging past one million this year \u2013 and credit card debt is crushing households. New data further underscores how American consumers feel about Trump\u2019s economy as he kicks the can down the road on the highest priority for families. <\/p>\n

Today, the University of Michigan\u2019s consumer sentiment index preliminary data indicated that sentiment fell<\/u><\/a> to 50.3 in November, down from 53.6 in October and nearly three points below expectation, marking another setback for household confidence as sentiment reaches the lowest level in three years. <\/p>\n
