Kristen Welker doesn't get it

In a post on X (aka Twitter), Meet The Press host takes a look at how strongly president Trump is leading Let's Go Brandon, and is shocked, SHOCKED that "the economy is so striking" and Americans aren't giving Let's Go Brandon credit for that.  She doesn't realize two things, which I'll explain below.

WATCH: President Biden trails former President Trump by 22 points on handling of the economy in the latest NBC News national poll, says @SteveKornacki.@kwelkernbc: "The economy is so striking because jobs are up, inflation is down. Voters aren't giving [Biden] credit for that." pic.twitter.com/KzyB7S4rzR

Here's what Kristen Welker just doesn't get:

1. The economy isn't actually doing that great, and despite the numbers looking good, people can feel the truth.
2. People realize that what they are being told,doesn't align with what they can feel or sense on their own.  They are waking up to the fact that people like herself can lie to them, but so can that the stats being published .  The stats can be manipulated, or even changed before being published.  I've personally shared dozens of examples of that. So not only do people not believe her narrative, they no longer trust the numbers

She thinks her and her ilk own the narrative, but that's just not possible when you've lost the plot.
