The U.S. economy shrank last quarter, and President Donald Trump is desperate for you to blame someone else.
Trump also appears to be desperate to take credit for wins that weren’t his.
And he posts it all on the internet.
“This is Biden’s Stock Market, not Trump’s,” Trump wrote on social media Wednesday following news of the economic contraction caused by his tariffs.
“Tariffs will soon start kicking in, and companies are starting to move into the USA in record numbers. 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!!!”
He sang a very different tune in January, when the economy was being governed by the policies of his predecessor, President Joe Biden.
“THIS IS THE TRUMP STOCK MARKET,” he wrote on Jan. 29, 2024, shortly after taking office. “BECAUSE MY POLLS AGAINST BIDEN ARE SO GOOD THAT INVESTORS ARE PROJECTING THAT I WILL WIN.”
Parker Butler, the former director of Kamala Harris’ rapid response team, summed the hypocrisy up nicely:
Trump claimed credit for the stock market’s performance while Biden was in office 15 times, according to an AP tracker.
He also repeatedly claimed that if Kamala Harris were elected, the U.S. would face an economic calamity not unlike the one Trump himself has unleashed since taking office.
“There are many people that are saying that the only reason the Stock Market is high is because I am leading in all of the Polls,” he posted on May 15, 2024, “and if I don’t win, we will have a CRASH of similar proportions to 1929.”
