I mean he was quick to claim responsibility for US economic growth in 2016 (stimulated by Obama) the moment he stepped into office.

Oh, so is he admitting that inflation had dropped during the Biden administration now? Because yes, that's the truth, but it wasn't what they said during the election.

It was his policies in the 1st term or in part that brought this on. Trickle-down economics is a scam, doesn't work, can't work, and will never work.

Trickle down economics works, once you understand it's only a golden shower, not a golden shower of prosperity. The rich piss all over everyone else, never get held accountable and the consequences trickle down.
