In the long history of political economies, few paradoxes are as revealing as a leader undone by good news. Donald Trump, campaigning on a vision of restoration and renewal, finds himself in September 2026 caught between two incompatible stories: that the economy is thriving because of him, and that it is broken enough to require him. A robust jobs report has quietly exposed the fault line between those two claims, reminding us that in democratic life, the facts do not always cooperate with the narrative.
