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.

    About 15 years ago I used to work in Murcia with in a very rural area. I remember this old man talking about how Obama is a terrible leader and real leadership is not talking about the previous guy in charge. I wonder if he is rolling in his grave or of he will support this bs.
