Republicans Kick Off Convention Pushing Myth Of Trump’s ‘Best Ever’ Economy
HuffPost
Trump was actually the worst jobs president since Herbert Hoover, and was responsible for two-thirds of the massive pandemic stimulus that caused inflation.
MILWAUKEE — Republicans kicked off their presidential nominating convention Monday continuing to sell a myth critical to their effort to win back the White House in November: that Donald Trump created the best economy in American history.
“A rip-roaring economy,” Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin called it in his speech to delegates on the “Make America Wealthy Again”-themed night of the four-day gathering.
“The massive inflation caused by Joe Biden and Kamala Harris,” intoned Florida congressman Byron Donalds.
Tennessee Sen. Marsha Blackburn invoked the low gas prices when Trump left the White House in 2021 compared to now. “Bidenomics is a four-letter word,” she said.
The talking points began within months of Democrat Joe Biden moving into the White House — and remain as untrue now as they were then.
