On Friday, investor Kevin O’Leary weighed on President Donald Trump’s economic messaging, arguing the president has begun an unusually early campaign-style push ahead of the 2026 midterm elections.
O’Leary Says Trump Is Campaigning Early
In a post on X sharing a clip from his CNN appearance, the “Shark Tank” star said he does not back political candidates but focuses on policy outcomes. “I don’t shill for politicians, but I shill for policy.”
O’Leary said Trump is effectively “on the road” pitching his economic record for the midterms, despite unresolved pain points for consumers.
Inflation Down From Peak, But Still Felt At The Grocery Store
The investor acknowledged that inflation has cooled significantly from its peak but said voters continue to feel pressure in everyday spending.
He said rising costs remain evident in food, protein and consumer services, making it difficult for politicians to convince households that conditions have fully stabilized.
O’Leary added that declaring victory too early risks repeating a mistake made by the Joe Biden administration, which struggled to align economic data with voter sentiment.
