The cowardly president was quick to blame the bad economic news on former President Joe Biden, because, as we’ve learned over the past decade, nothing is ever Trump’s fault.
Here’s the truth, assuming you still believe in such things: After three years of growth, the U.S. economy shrunk in the first quarter of this year, and it’s all thanks to President Donald Trump and his bizarre, old-timey obsession with tariffs.
The cowardly president was quick to blame the bad economic news on former President Joe Biden, because, as we’ve learned over the past decade, nothing is ever Trump’s fault – even when it is. The president posted this gibberish April 30 on his increasingly inaccurately named Truth Social site: “Our Country will boom, but we have to get rid of the Biden ‘Overhang.’ This will take a while, has NOTHING TO DO WITH TARIFFS, only that he left us with bad numbers, but when the boom begins, it will be like no other. BE PATIENT!!!”
So much for Republicans being the party of personal responsibility.
Biden left Trump with an envy-of-the-world economy that was humming along. The tariffs – which for the 10 millionth time are a tax on American consumers that won’t accomplish what Trump thinks they’ll accomplish – are almost entirely to blame for America’s economic shrinkage.
