在加州州长加文·纽森宣布将在本周瑞士世界经济论坛上与唐纳德·特朗普总统就其观点发表看法后，支持“让美国再次伟大”（MAGA）的影响力人物凯蒂·米勒周一在X平台上嘲讽这位民主党人出席了这个富人云集的活动。
“加文·纽森当然要去达沃斯，”米勒（她嫁给了白宫高级顾问斯蒂芬·米勒）在X平台上发文称，“没有什么比向世界精英群体抱怨更能体现‘美国优先’的了。”
但过去几天发生的事情并没有像她预想的那样凸显她的观点。
纽森在达沃斯期间一直敦促精英阶层更坚决地抵制特朗普。而特朗普则与富人频频接触，并毫不掩饰地谈论自己与富人的关系以及让他们变得更富的举措。
尽管美国人普遍认为经济停滞不前，但总统似乎在周三的集会上为自己的政策对富人有多有利而沾沾自喜。
他在与企业高管的招待会上发表了一系列此类言论。
“我认为就你们的投资而言，你们的处境非常好，”特朗普对人群说，“我甚至不用问任何人现在怎么样了。大家赚的钱都太多了。”
特朗普称自己经常向商界领袖表示祝贺。
“他们说，‘是在说什么？’”特朗普说，“我说，‘自从我上任以来，你们的净资产翻了一番，对吧？’他说，‘是的，甚至不止这些。’他们会说，‘甚至更多。我们做得比这更好。’而我们为你们提供了一个平台，让你们的才华得以施展。”
在同一场活动的另一个环节，特朗普提到了他去年通过的大型国内议程法案——他常称之为“超级美好法案”，以及该法案为企业主提供的关键税收减免。
特朗普随后谈到，在他的第一任期内，一位富商朋友买了一架飞机却从未使用，只是为了利用这种税收减免。
“我常说，这就是我第一任期如此成功的原因，”特朗普说，“因为，我是说，人们会买一些东西——我有个朋友买了架飞机，他从未用过。他买它只是为了‘我可以扣除这笔费用’。”
“实际上，买这样的飞机会很棒，因为他永远不会用它，”特朗普继续说道。

吹嘘自己与富人的关系，以及在经济强劲时如何减轻他们的税负，这是一回事。但当前经济最大的问题之一是其“K型分化”——即对富人来说经济状况极好，而对普通民众来说却并非如此。
事实上，乐施会本月发布的年度不平等报告显示，去年亿万富翁的财富增长速度是过去五年平均水平的三倍。
米勒的帖子指出了这里的政治风险。
就在上周一项新的CNN民调显示约70%的美国人认为经济“糟糕”之际，特朗普却在精英聚会上大谈自己对这种K型经济上层群体的贡献。这实在是完全脱离现实。

这并非唯一可能激怒关注钱包问题的美国人的不妥言论。在经济问题日益严峻的背景下，特朗普及其内阁（恰好由亿万富翁组成）发表了一系列此类言论。
特朗普的言论发表前一天，财政部长斯科特·贝森特刚刚谈到政府禁止机构投资者购买单户住宅的想法。
一些美国人认为大型机构投资者推高了住房成本。贝森特试图向民众保证此举不会伤害“小投资者”。但他对“小投资者”的定义引发了质疑。
“比如，可能是你的父母为退休买了5套、10套、12套房子，”贝森特对福克斯商业频道的玛丽亚·巴蒂罗莫说，“所以，我们不想把‘小投资者’赶走，我们只是想把其他人都赶走。”
这听起来像是普通退休人员拥有5到12套房产。
纽森转发了贝森特的言论并问道：“这个沾沾自喜的人还能再脱离现实吗？”贝森特周三回击称，这位民主党州长“可能是唯一一位比卡玛拉·哈里斯更不懂经济学的加州人”。
在过去一年里，政府还发表了一系列关于美国人如何应对经济困难的尴尬言论。特朗普曾说人们可以少买些玩具和铅笔。
更近期，农业部长布鲁克·罗林斯表示，美国人可以负担起一顿3美元的优质餐食，其中包括“一片西兰花”。
2026年大选预计将广泛围绕经济展开，而特朗普团队则为民主党人提供了大量素材，将其描绘成脱离现实的群体。
Trump revels in Davos about making the rich even richer

After it was announced that California Gov. Gavin Newsom would share his views on President Donald Trump at the World Economic Forum in Switzerland, this week, MAGA influencer Katie Miller derided the Democrat for his presence at the event frequented by wealthy businessmen.
“Of course Gavin Newsom is going to Davos,” Miller, who is married to top White House adviser Stephen Miller, posted Monday on X. “Nothing quite says America First like commiserating to the crowd of the World’s Elites.”
But what’s transpired over the last couple of days hasn’t exactly driven home her point in the way she might have envisioned.
Newsom has spent his time urging the elites at Davos to stand up more strongly to Trump. And it’s Trump who’s been rubbing elbows with the wealthy and taking no shame in talking about his ties to rich people and his efforts to make them even richer.
Even as Americans struggle with what they overwhelmingly view as a stagnant economy, the president seemed to revel Wednesday in how good his policies have been for the wealthy.
He made a series of such comments during a reception with CEOs.
“So I think in terms of your investments, you’re in great shape,” Trump told the crowd. “I don’t even ask anybody how you’re doing now. It’s like everybody is making so much money.”

Trump said he often goes around giving congratulations to business leaders.
“They say, on what?” Trump said. “I said, ‘you’ve doubled your net worth since I’ve been president, right?’ He said, ‘Yeah, even more than that.’ They would say, ‘Even more. We’re doing even better than that.’ And we’ve given you platform where you can put your genius to work.”
At another point at the same event, Trump pointed to his big domestic agenda bill – which he often called the “Big Beautiful Bill” – that passed last year and a key tax deduction it gave business owners.
Trump then riffed about how, in his first term, one wealthy friend bought an airplane they didn’t even use because they wanted to use such a deduction.
“I always said, that’s what made my first term so successful,” Trump said. “Because, I mean, people were buying things that – I have a friend who bought an airplane, he never used it. He just bought it. He said, ‘I get a – I deducted it.’
“It’d be a great plane to buy, actually, because he’ll never use it,” Trump continued.

It’s one thing to boast about your ties to rich people and how they reduce their tax burden in good times, when a strong economy is lifting all boats. But one of the biggest problems with the current economy is how “K-shaped” it is – i.e. it’s great for the wealthy but not nearly so much for the rest of the country.
Indeed, Oxfam’s recent annual inequality report this month showed billionaires’ wealth grew three times faster last year than they had averaged over the previous five years.
And Miller’s post points to the political risks here.
Even as about 7 in 10 Americans viewed the economy as “poor” in last week’s new CNN poll, here was Trump at a gathering of elites talking about how good he’s been for the upper part of that K-shaped economy. That’s pretty tone-deaf.

And it’s hardly the only example of an unadvisable comment that might irk Americans concerned about their pocketbooks. Amid the economic problems, Trump and his Cabinet – which happens to be stocked with billionaires – have made a series of these kinds of remarks.
Trump’s comments came just a day after Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent spoke about the administration’s idea to ban institutional investors from buying single-family homes.
Some Americans believe big, institutional investors have driven up housing costs. Bessent sought to assure this move wouldn’t hurt “mom and pop” investors. But his definition of “mom and pop” investors raised some eyebrows.
“Someone, maybe your parents for their retirement,” Bessent told Fox Business Network’s Maria Bartiromo, “bought five, 10, 12 homes. So, we don’t want to push the mom and pops out. We just want to push everyone else out.”
Just your average retiree, owning anywhere from five to a dozen homes.
Newsom promoted the clip of Bessent, asking, “Could this smug man be more out of touch?” Bessent shot back Wednesday that the Democratic governor “may be the only Californian who knows less about economics than Kamala Harris.”
And over the course of the last year, the administration has made a series of awkward comments about how Americans could navigate economic difficulties. Trump talked about simply buying fewer dolls and pencils.
More recently, Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins said Americans can afford a $3 meal of quality food that includes “a piece of broccoli.”
The 2026 election figures to focus extensively on the economy, and the Trump team is giving Democrats plenty to work with in painting them as out of touch.
