Former President Donald Trump slammed President Joe Biden's economic agenda, saying that green energy is "killing" the United States and the only way to fix the economy is to put someone new in the White House.
Trump said in a Thursday interview on Larry Kudlow's Kudlow on Fox Business Network that inflation is a "country destroyer" brought by "Bidenomics," Biden's name for his economic policies.

The former president touted his administration's economic successes for comparison, saying the U.S. had been the No. 1 in energy, oil, and gas while he was president.
"We were sending it over to Europe in record numbers. We were going to pay off debt, massive amounts of debt ... and we were going to lower taxes even further," Trump said. "And it would have been a beautiful picture. But now, they've stopped all that."
Wednesday marked the one-year anniversary of the Inflation Reduction Act, which Trump said should never have been passed.
"Nobody should have done that. There is no way that bill should have been allowed to pass in the Senate. And they got it passed, and it's a shame, it's very sad," Trump said.

When Kudlow asked the former president for a "way out of this," referring to inflation, Trump responded with, "Get a new president."
"We gotta get rid of this guy," Trump said, referring to Biden.
"When you look at inflation, they say inflation is coming down, but we're living with all that inflation we picked up over the last three years, which is tremendous. I mean, you look at the cost of what it is today, compared to what it was when we were there. And it's unbelievable," Trump added.
Trump also blasted Biden's physical stamina — at 80, Biden is the oldest president in U.S. history.

He added he doesn't even believe that Biden knows that he is "anti-business" and "anti-free enterprise," saying that he thinks "people around his desk tell him what to do."
"Larry, you watch him, he can't put two sentences together. He doesn't know where he is. He can't walk up a flight of stairs, let alone down a flight of stairs. And you look at this guy — we have the most corrupt president in the history of our country, and we have the most incompetent simultaneously," Trump said of Biden.
