In a recent interview, President Donald Trump navigated questions regarding the economy, asserting partial credit for its positive aspects while attributing negatives to former President Joe Biden. Asserting that he reduced costs, Trump noted that it takes time for such changes to manifest fully. He described the trade situation, emphasizing a shift towards reduced engagement with China due to tariffs. When pressed on taking full ownership of the economy, Trump contended that both he and Biden bear different responsibilities for current conditions, thereby creating a mixed narrative of accountability.
Well, I think certain aspects of it are, Trump said. Costs are. I was able to get down the costs. But even that, it takes a while to get them down, but we got them down good.
I take responsibility for everything, Trump said. But I've only just been here for a little more than three months.
We've essentially cut off trade relationships by putting that much of a tariff on. And that's okay. We've gone cold turkey.
The good parts are the Trump economy and the bad parts are the Biden economy.
