Donald Trump's Big Lie has distorted the views of millions of Americans , wrongly convincing many that the US economy is in bad shape.

Unemployment rate is low, inflation is way down, economic growth is solid, and job growth has been remarkably strong.

Median household income has climbed to $ 80,610 , higher than it was in Trump ’s last year in office.

Many economists warn of disaster if Trump wins.

They warn that his plan to impose tariffs or taxes on all imported goods will send inflation soaring and ignite a dangerous trade war that could cause a recession and throw millions out of work.

In contrast to Trump , Kamala Harris has specific plans to improve the economy and help Americans cope with high prices.
