The former president is doubling down on his economic critique, claiming the previous administration left behind an economic mess that his team is now working to clean up. According to his latest statement, Democrats allegedly broke key economic fundamentals and then attempted to reframe the narrative by celebrating slowed inflation rates—while conveniently ignoring that baseline prices remain stubbornly elevated compared to pre-crisis levels. This blame game over who's responsible for household budget pressures continues to shape political discourse, and could influence policy directions that affect everything from interest rates to market sentiment in the coming months.
