Chuck Todd: Trump’s Attacks on Omar and Tlaib Came as the Economy Started to Show Signs of Slowing

‘It is not lost on us that the president’s attacks on Omar and Tlaib conveniently came as the economy became the story because it was showing signs of slowing’

EXCERPT:

TODD: “And folks, if the culture wars is the yin of the President’s re-election strategy, if you want to call it that, the economy is the yang. Which is why it is not lost on a lot of us that the President’s attacks on Omar and Tlaib conveniently came as the economy became the story because it was showing signs of slowing. President is lashing out at the Fed. He’s lashing out at the press after what was a brutal day of headlines involving the health of the economy, particularly due to his policies in China and it potentially imperils one of the most important pitches that he has on the campaign trail."
