Trump blames Biden for economic woes, deflects criticism

President Donald Trump is blaming former President Joe Biden for the country's economic downturn and various policy failures six months after taking office.

Trump claims that Biden's policies are responsible for the first-quarter GDP decline despite evidence linking it to his own protectionist trade policies.

Conservative influencer Dave Portnoy criticized Trump for deflecting blame, stating that the stock market reflects Trump's performance during his first 100 days in office.

Political science professor Joseph Grieco from Duke University suggests that Trump is using Biden bashing as a narrative to excuse himself amid declining approval ratings and troubled economic conditions.

During recent rallies and speeches, Trump frequently attacks Biden on various issues, repeating false claims about the 2020 election results while his administration lacks effective opposition from Democrats.
