Rally-style series of boasts does not include much in the way of plans to address affordability crisis
Donald Trump on Wednesday used a nationally-televised address to deliver a campaign-style rant in which he blamed his predecessor for the economic woes Americans are feeling a year into his presidency while offering little in the way of proposals to address the higher prices caused in large part by the massive tariffs he has placed on almost all American imports.
Speaking from the Diplomatic Reception Room at the White House, Trump opened by claiming to have “inherited a mess” that he was now “fixing.”
What followed was a partisan rant indistinguishable from the signature rallies that have been the centerpiece of his political movement, in which he rattled off a list of grievances while blaming his predecessor for the state of the country nearly a full year after he took the oath of office.



He’s been president just under a year and still blames Biden. That is crazy work and the fact people eat it up is a serious problem. Single issue voters are single handedly destroying our country. You can’t even blame MAGA because they represent only about 25% of voters which is still sad but typical.
It’s the other 28% of voters, the anti Israel, anti abortion, anti immigration that don’t care about ANYTHING except that one issue. It also doesn’t help that democrats platform does not represent anyone because their policy is all over place. The reason educated people tend to vote democrat is because they understand policy as a whole and don’t really have a choice but to vote blue thanks to the two party system.
