Trump Brags About Roaring,' Phenomenal' Economy as Jobs and Stocks Crater  Gas Prices Skyrocket
"There's never been a better year for a president. I mean, I've been rated. There has never been a better year for a president first year than what we had. That includes the stoppage of eight wars with a ninth to come. And what we've done, the economy is roaring, it's phenomenal, that's why I'm here."
"Historically, the person that wins the presidency doesn't do well in the mid-terms, I don't know why, but. If you look at the numbers, you know the numbers probably better than anybody else. But historically, the person that wins the presidency, Republican or Democrat, even if they're a great president, the midterms don't go their way. We're gonna try and turn that around."
During campaign stops in Ohio and Kentucky, Trump made optimistic statements about the economy and his first-year performance as president. He claimed the economy is roaring and phenomenal, citing his administration's accomplishments including ending wars. Trump acknowledged the historical pattern where sitting presidents typically underperform in midterm elections but expressed confidence in reversing this trend. He characterized his campaign stops as excursions motivated by his affection for the regions and their voters. These statements came amid reports of weak job growth, elevated gas prices, and a significant stock market decline following U.S. conflict with Iran.
