Rally-style series of boasts does not include much in the way of plans to address affordability crisis
Donald Trump on Wednesday used a nationally-televised address to deliver a campaign-style rant in which he blamed his predecessor for the economic woes Americans are feeling a year into his presidency while offering little in the way of proposals to address the higher prices caused in large part by the massive tariffs he has placed on almost all American imports.
Speaking from the Diplomatic Reception Room at the White House, Trump opened by claiming to have “inherited a mess” that he was now “fixing.”
What followed was a partisan rant indistinguishable from the signature rallies that have been the centerpiece of his political movement, in which he rattled off a list of grievances while blaming his predecessor for the state of the country nearly a full year after he took the oath of office.
Yeah, no. Biden came in and (somewhat) fixed your first shitshow, then your pettiness drove you to tear it down even faster this time. I hope the approval rating continues to fall, even among the MAGA faithful. I hope no one gives a fuck about him by the time he’s out of office.
I hope he’s dragged kicking and screaming from that office by people wearing his name on their forehead.
