Elected President of the United States in November 2024 on the commitment to put an end to rising prices and restore purchasing power to Americans, the Republican billionaire must, two years later, face a grim…
The French have purchasing power, the Americans have affordability. On both sides of the Atlantic, this concept is found at the heart of elections. Two years ago, in the United States, Donald Trump was elected to the presidency on the promise of making America and the lives of its inhabitants “great again”.
To do this, he would not only put an end to the inflation that was rampant under Joe Biden's mandate, but even bring down prices. The rhetoric had won over many Latino and African-American voters, usually closer to the Democrats, and delivered a triumphant victory to the Republicans. Two years later, millions of Americans are now struggling to make ends meet and blame the former real estate mogul.
Enough to push many of his former supporters to turn their backs on him.
