Because he's letting the MSM do the talking for him. How you ask? Well because every MSM cable news show leads with that question when they talk about this election.
They ask: Why isn't Trump talking about the economy? Then they go on touting the economy and the job numbers and the stock market. What they are doing is talking about the economy for him. They say - that if they were him - he'd talk about the economy.
What he does is 'sow the fear' and he lets the MSM do his economy talking for him
He's using the MSM to do his talking and even though he calls the press 'the enemy of the people' he realizes that they will come off more credible than he would by touting the economy.

(115,836 posts)except for what's on Fox, is fake news and lies. And fear sells better than good news. His rabid base are convinced that the economy is terrible and it's all Obama's fault and the brown people in the terrible, scary caravan will take their jobs while simultaneously getting government benefits that properly belong to decent white people. I don't think the stability of the economy matters a bit to the base, who only watch Fox anyhow.

By talking abt. something else, he keeps the subject of the economy and the huge deficit thanks to tax cuts for the rich at bay for now. He hides behind that WHITE HOOD because he knows he is nothing but a corrupt criminal.
Do not trust Don the Con!

(444 posts)It was good coming in so no one was apprehensive about the economy. The economy only works when you are in a recession and everyone is anxious or you are on a positive path coming out of one.

(54,770 posts)economy, but you cant explain it to ignorant white wingers. Waste of time trying when unemployment is low, consumer confidence high, and white wingers are too stupid to understand debt, ill-advised tax cuts, too xenophobic to question tariffs, etc.
