Summary
Trump and Republicans campaigned aggressively in 2024 on the economy. So now that he’s in office, we asked: do you think that President Trump is doing enough to fix the economy? Do you think grocery prices will rise or go down? Forum is a new series from USA TODAY's Opinion team, dedicated to showcasing views from across the political spectrum on issues that Americans are starkly divided on. Today you’ll hear from a few folks detailing their opinions on the economy. If you'd like to weigh in on a different topic, you can find more questions at usatoday.com/forum. And if your submission is selected for print, we might invite you to add your voice to a future special bonus episode like this one.
