(DCNF)—Political strategist Mark Penn said Monday on Fox Business that President Donald Trump can turn around his poor economic polling if he “sells the facts” to the public.
A majority of Americans now rate the economy negatively, with most saying it has worsened since Trump took office, according to an ABC News/Washington Post/Ipsos poll. During a discussion on “Kudlow,” Penn said Trump’s path to improving his weak economic ratings depends on changing public perception.
“Unlike in the Biden administration, you need the facts. If you have the facts, you’re going to have to sell the facts because the economy is as good as people perceive of the economy. Unless there’s an incredible economic catastrophe or some incredible economic thing the other way, within the normal range of even 4% growth,” Penn told host Larry Kudlow.
Penn said public perception of the economy often hinges more on media coverage than personal experience.
“Most people cannot tell whether or not there’s three people unemployed they know or four people unemployed they know. They cannot tell the difference. They get it from the media. And so in the last Trump administration, they successfully convinced everybody that the economy was great,” Penn said.
Penn said Trump faces a familiar political dilemma, strong economic indicators paired with skeptical public opinion.
“I’ve seen the situation, frankly, a number of different times. I had it with President Clinton, where everybody thought the economy was bad. The economic numbers were great. And so in the State of the Union, we challenged the media, and we had the economists ready to go. And so we had all the documentation. And we went out, and six months later, everybody thought the economy was great,” Penn added.
Media outlets have warned that Trump’s tariffs could raise prices and curb holiday spending, but consumers don’t appear fazed. A Gallup poll shows Americans still plan to spend an average of $1,007 on gifts this season.
Job Creators Network CEO Alfredo Ortiz told the Daily Caller News Foundation that the Gallup survey indicates strong consumer sentiment across the U.S. He said Trump’s economic policies, including tax cuts and lower interest rates, are fueling growth by giving Americans more disposable income and confidence to spend.
“American consumers are benefitting from a wealth effect, where if they feel wealthier, they will spend more and create more economic growth,” Ortiz said. “The record high stock market, falling interest rates, rising real wages, tamed inflation, low gas prices, and the Big Beautiful Bill’s tax cuts are all contributing to stronger American consumers with more disposable income who are driving the economy forward.”

Three Reasons a Coffee Gift Set From This Christian Company Is Perfect for Christmas
When you’re searching for a Christmas gift that’s meaningful, useful, and rooted in faith, you don’t want to settle for anything generic. This season is filled with noise — mass-produced products, last-minute picks, and trends that fade as quickly as they appear. But one gift stands apart because it blends genuine quality with a message that matters: a coffee gift set from Promised Grounds Coffee.
This small Christian-owned company has become a favorite among believers who want to support faith-driven businesses while giving friends and family something they’ll actually enjoy. Here are three reasons a Promised Grounds Coffee gift set may be the most thoughtful and impactful present you give this year.
1. It’s Truly Delicious Coffee
Too many “gift-worthy” coffees look beautiful in the package but disappoint when the cup is poured. Promised Grounds takes the opposite approach — exceptional taste first, thoughtful presentation second.
Their beans are sourced with care, roasted in small batches, and crafted to bring out a rich, smooth flavor profile that appeals to both casual drinkers and true coffee lovers. Whether someone enjoys bold, dark roasts or lighter, more delicate blends, every sip reflects quality that stands shoulder-to-shoulder with the biggest specialty brands.
Simply put: this coffee is good. Really good. Some say it’s absolutely fantastic. If you want a gift that won’t be re-gifted, ignored, or shoved in a cabinet, this is it.
2. It Spreads the Word While Serving a Real Purpose
There are many Christian gifts that are meaningful… but not exactly practical. There are also useful gifts that have nothing to do with faith. Promised Grounds Coffee bridges both worlds beautifully.
Each gift set delivers an encouraging, faith-centered message through its packaging and presentation — a simple but powerful reminder of God’s goodness during the Christmas season. The cups are especially popular and serve as a daily reminder of the blessings from our Lord. At the same time, the product itself is something people will actually use and appreciate every single day.
It’s a gift that uplifts the spirit and fills the mug. A gift that points loved ones toward Scripture while still being part of the normal rhythm of life. And in a culture that increasingly pushes faith to the margins, giving a gift that quietly but confidently honors Christ can make a deeper impact than you might expect.
3. It’s Affordable, Valuable, and Elegantly Presented
Many people want to give something meaningful without breaking their Christmas budget. Promised Grounds Coffee strikes that perfect balance — the sets look and feel premium, but the price remains accessible.
The packaging is classy, clean, and gift-ready, making it ideal for:
- Family members of all ages
- Co-workers or employees
- Church friends or small-group leaders
- Hosts, neighbors, and last-minute gift needs
It’s the kind of gift that feels more expensive than it is — and more thoughtful than most of what you’ll find on store shelves.
The Perfect Blend of Faith, Flavor, and Christmas Cheer
A coffee gift set from Promised Grounds Coffee checks every box: a gift that tastes amazing, conveys your faith, supports a Christian business, and brings daily enjoyment to the person who receives it. In a season when so many gifts are forgotten, this one stands out for all the right reasons.
If you want a Christmas present that reflects your values and delivers genuine joy, Promised Grounds Coffee is the perfect place to start.
