Trump Proclaimed 'Golden Age' and Economic Turnaround in SOTU

The president declared America entering a Golden Age ahead of its 250th anniversary, touting falling inflation (to ~2.4%), lower gas and grocery prices, rising stock markets, tax cuts (e.g., no taxes on tips/overtime/Social Security), energy dominance, and border security gains as evidence of a "transformation like never before."

Despite the optimistic framing many Americans still feel economic hardship despite the claims.
