Trump Credits 'Good Parts' of Economy to His Policies, Blames Biden for Negatives

President Donald Trump has credited himself for the positive aspects of the current U.S. economy while attributing negative trends to his predecessor, Joe Biden. In interviews, Trump said that although he has been in office for only a little over three months, he takes responsibility for everything but insists that the 'good parts' are due to his policies, whereas the 'bad parts' reflect Biden's legacy. Trump defended his aggressive tariff policy on China, asserting that it has effectively severed trade ties and will ultimately benefit the U.S. economy. Despite public anxiety and mixed economic signals, Trump remains optimistic, forecasting a coming economic boom and emphasizing that the tariffs will make the country 'very rich.' He also acknowledged the transition period and the possibility of recession, but maintained that the trade measures are necessary for fairer deals. Trump has repeatedly resisted taking full ownership of current economic challenges, instead highlighting his efforts to reduce costs and shift blame to Biden for any downturns.
