One of the charts proudly displayed by the president wrongly reported on “medium” family income.

Donald Trump staged an impromptu press conference to flaunt a stack of glossy charts, which he claims show the U.S. economy is doing far better than the administration’s official figures suggest. The president, who fired the commissioner of the Bureau of Labor Statistics for reporting what he alleged without evidence of being “rigged” underwhelming job numbers, dragged reporters into the Oval Office Thursday for a surprise show-and-tell, suggesting everything’s better now than under former President Joe Biden’s watch. Trump was joined by Stephen Moore, a senior visiting fellow in economics at the Heritage Foundation, the conservative think tank behind Project 2025.
