Background & current role
Kevin Hassett serves as Assistant to the President for Economic Policy and Director of the National Economic Council. White House materials in 2025 and 2026 identify him as the NEC director when presenting administration arguments on growth, tariffs, taxes and macroeconomic policy.
Hassett previously chaired the Council of Economic Advisers during the first Trump administration. His current TrumpsMouth profile separates statements he makes as a White House economic official from independent economic data and from political claims about the effects of administration policy.
The profile will collect attributable interviews, White House statements, forecasts and disputed economic claims when enough primary data exist to evaluate them fairly.
