Democratic strategist Maria Cardona issued a warning to President Donald Trump about his handling of the economy, telling CNN Monday that it will "come back and bite him."
Trump had a chance to tamp down recession fears when asked by Fox Business Network's Maria Bartiromo on Sunday, but said only, "I hate to predict things like that. There is a period of transition, because what we’re doing is very big. We’re bringing wealth back to America. That’s a big thing, and there are always periods of, it takes a little time. It takes a little time, but I think it should be great for us.”
That answer failed to instill confidence in Democrats like Cardona.

"What Democrats are underscoring is the fact that this president ran on the economy, this president ran on bringing down inflation, this president ran on lowering the cost of groceries, gas, rent and eggs on day one. Do you know what he posted this past weekend on his Truth Social?" Cardona asked. "He posted a message saying, 'Shut up about the price of eggs.' That's how much this president cares about the promises that he made to America's working families, to those exact voters who trusted him to take care about this number one issue."
Cardona said Trump's focusing on imposing tariffs instead of inflation is causing voters to lose faith in the president and his campaign promises.
"That's why you're seeing his poll numbers go down," she said. "That's why you're seeing that the majority of Americans don't think he's done enough to focus on inflation, the number one issue for them in the election, and the number one issue that they trusted him on. So, all of this, I think, is going to come back and bite him politically, because it has been a huge betrayal of that one promise that he made to the American people."
