The white house is fucking delusional

Not delusional, the people who matter to them are generally doing quite well, so the economy is doing well. Just like the gilded age, where the "economic boom" funneled truck loads of money into the coffers of the vanderbilts, carnegies, clarks, melons, etc., while the average person was struggling under terrible life conditions.
