Trump's first year in office has been a mix of big claims and public skepticism. He's proud of the economy, saying it's stronger than ever. He points to a 4. 3% growth in GDP and claims his tariffs are the reason. But not everyone agrees. Inflation is still around 2. 7%, which is better than before but not zero as Trump says.

Trump also talks about crime and immigration. He says crime is down and the border is more secure. New numbers show murders have dropped by 19%, the biggest drop ever. He also says more people are working now than ever before, with over 163 million jobs. But people are still worried about jobs and living costs.

Public opinion isn't great for Trump. His approval rating is -17% on the economy. People care a lot about inflation and prices, and Trump's numbers here aren't good. On immigration and national security, he does better. But the overall feeling is that the economy isn't as great as he says.

Trump's claims about the economy and crime might be true, but people aren't feeling it. High living costs and unemployment are still big problems. The numbers might look good, but the public isn't convinced. It's a tough balance between what the data shows and what people feel in their daily lives.
