Trump Echoes Biden on the Economy in State of the Union Speech
President Trump’s arguments about the country during the State of the Union on Tuesday echoed those of President Biden’s two years ago.
“The president of the United States.” “This is the golden age of America. Inflation is plummeting. Incomes are rising fast. The roaring economy is roaring like never before.” “America’s comeback is building the future of American possibilities. Wages keep going up. Inflation keeps coming down.” “When I last spoke in this chamber 12 months ago, I had just inherited a nation in crisis. The Biden administration and its allies in Congress gave us the worst inflation in the history of our country.” “A president, my predecessor, failed the most basic presidential duty that he owes the American people: the duty to care. I think that’s unforgivable.” “A short time ago, we were a dead country. Now we are the hottest country anywhere in the world. The hottest.” “I inherited an economy on the brink. Now our economy is literally the envy of the world.”
