Peter Navarro, Trump's senior economic counselor, appeared on Sunday Morning Futures with Maria Bartiromo, touting a "perfect Trump economy" with rising real wages and strong growth, citing a stock market over $50,000 and a return in manufacturing.
Navarro's assessment contrasts with criticism that Trump's tariffs have harmed consumers, with Navarro stating "it's what we call a Goldilocks economy" and comparing it to 1998, with the economy experiencing disinflation and strong job report numbers.
Navarro's comments have been met with skepticism, as he attempts to put a positive spin on the economic impact of Trump's policies, with many arguing that the benefits of the economy are not being felt by all citizens, and that the tariffs have led to increased costs for consumers.
