'This is one of your supporters!' Trump confronted as fan gives him scathing review
President Donald Trump was confronted by Politico's Dasha Burns after one of his supporters complained about prices rising faster than wages under his administration.
During an interview this week, Burns asked Trump to grade his economic performance.
"A plus, plus, plus, plus," the president said.
"Well, it's interesting because I talked to a supporter of yours, her name is Melanie from Westmoreland County, PA, and she loves you," Burns noted. "She gave you overall an A plus plus grade. But here's what she said about the economy."
"She said, quote, groceries, utility, insurance, and the basic cost of running a small business keep rising faster than wages," she continued. "She also says that not enough is being done. Mr. President, this is one of your supporters."
"Okay, good," Trump replied. "And I love her because you said I got an A plus on everything, I guess."
"But she's still worried about the economy," Burns explained.
"But what you have to understand, the word affordability," Trump asserted. "I inherited a mess. I inherited a total mess. Prices were at an all-time high."
