During his discourse in Tucson, Arizona on Friday, former US President Barack Obama criticized Republican nominee Donald Trump‘s monetary policies. Obama disputed Trump’s claims that his first two years in office had been a strong business.
” I’ve heard that some people claim that the economy was great in Trump’s first two years. And I say, yeah, it was great because that was my business that I handed to him”, Obama said.
He explained that the Obama administration’s work laid the groundwork for the economic development Trump enjoyed at the beginning of his administration. He remarked about the economic slump that began before he took business, saying,” I spent eight years cleaning up the mess that Republicans left me.”
Obama argued that Trump only inherited a robust economy and afterwards proceeded to kill it with poorly conceived policies, citing the 75 subsequent months of job growth under his leadership.
” I handed over an market that was growing steadily”, he said. ” He gave a tax cut to people who did n’t need one and drove up the deficit”, he added.
Trump’s use of taxes as the foundation of his economic plan was likewise critical of by Obama. He warned that if the former president’s tariffs were to be reinstated, they would essentially be a” Trump selling income,” according to Obama.
” Trump’s plan could cost American families an average of$ 4, 000 a year. If you think prices are high now, Donald Trump’s message is: you ai n’t seen nothing yet”, he said.
His comments sparked a stir among internet users, with some digging up the old content asserting that Obama is to blame for Trump’s success.
One X person wrote,” Of course, Obama takes credit for Trump’s success. Obama is a copycat, really like Kamala and Biden are.
Another said,” Obama is lying. Obama warned Trump that a “magic wand” may be required to create jobs. Trump did it. Obama simply outed himself again as a dirty, dishonest, legislator”.
But people were seen defending the former Democrat President, one person said,” So accurate! Obama gave Trump a strong business that he continued to operate on until Trump “bungled the pandemic”! Some said,” Obama simply slayed Trump. This wait for the comeback”.
