President Donald Trump posted on X on August 23, citing conservative commentator Mark Levin to defend his policies on energy, economy, and housing. Trump said he is cutting and reviewing regulations to restore American energy independence, put more money in people’s paychecks, and make homeownership attainable again — while still looking out for the environment and American workers.
Trump accused blue-state governors of “sabotaging that progress every chance they get” and dismissed Democratic claims that he is not focused on affordability. “He’s all about affordability. They’re just furious he’s delivering it,” Trump wrote.
The president urged supporters to “stop listening to the liberal media and your blue-state governors. Do your own research,” adding that “the Democrats have been the reason we can’t have nice things.” The post directly pushes back against Democratic criticism of Trump’s economic record.
