Johnson blames media for people not believing his economy claims
Johnson: wages up, poverty shrinking, jobs reshoring, great stuff.
Tapper: public thinks the economy sucks. 65% disapprove of Trump's handling. Gas up, mortgages up, inflation up.
Johnson: mainstream media doesn't tell the truth. Also we needed a convention to remind people. Also compare to Biden.
The entire pitch is that Americans are wrong about their own lived experience. They're not buying it because it's not true, and the response is to blame the messenger.
