Trump promotes “golden age” narrative ahead of US midterm elections

President Donald Trump told voters that the United States was entering a “golden age” in his final appeal before the upcoming midterm elections.

He claimed that the war in Iran was “not really a war” because “we’ve done very little fighting”, and asserted that the stock market had reached 88 all‑time highs under his administration.

Trump also said that the United States had become “the hottest country anywhere in the world” during his tenure.

Despite these statements, midterm voters did not embrace his “looking‑glass” narrative, according to election analysts.
