Why Trump Talks Chaos Instead of Costs

from The Chris Cuomo Project · host Chris Cuomo

Chris Cuomo breaks down why the nonstop political firestorms — from foreign crises to culture-war flashpoints — keep pulling attention away from the one issue hitting Americans hardest: the cost of living. From housing and health care to groceries, insurance, and wages, everyday affordability is squeezing families across the political spectrum, even as outrage-driven headlines dominate the conversation.Cuomo argues that these constant emergencies aren’t accidental — they reward spectacle, distraction, and zero-sum politics while real economic pressure goes unaddressed. Whether it’s Venezuela or the outrage-of-the-week at home, the result is a country fighting over everything except the problem most people actually feel every day: how expensive life has become.
