Bedminster, NJ — In a new video, President Donald J. Trump compares Crooked Joe Biden's economic catastrophe with the incredible success of the Trump administration's America First economic policies.

"It's no surprise that under our leadership, approval of the economy was three times higher than it is under Biden," President Trump said. "When I was president, 63% of Americans rated the economy as excellent or good. Today, that number is just 19%. But America's economic resurgence is coming soon."

b.  Under President Biden, Americans have incurred a record $1 trillion in new credit card debt, almost a $200 billion increase since their 2020 levels under President Trump.[23]

10.  Biden Has Vowed to Hike Taxes By $4.7 Trillion and Eliminate President Trump’s Historic Tax Cuts Which Raised American Family Incomes by Thousands.

b.  Biden has vowed to eliminate President Trump’s tax cuts which are set to expire during the next administration, which would increase taxes for the average family of four by $2,000.[26]  Biden has also proposed hiking taxes by $4.7 trillion, which, with the expiration of the Trump tax cuts, would cost American households $120,000 by the end of the decade.[27]  

TRANSCRIPT

One of the most important issues in this campaign will be who can rescue our country from the burning records of Bidenomics, which shall henceforth be defined as inflation, taxation, submission, and failure. 

Under my leadership, we built the greatest economy in the history of the world. In fact, we did it twice, and when I get back in the Oval Office, we will do it again, and it'll be bigger and better and stronger than ever before. On Day One, the Biden economic bust will be replaced with the historic Trump economic boom. Any numbers you see that are economically positive in the Biden administration, are because they're running on the fumes of what we created years prior to their taking office. 

Let's look at the facts comparing Crooked Joe Biden's economic catastrophe with the incredible success of a certain president named Donald J. Trump. Under Biden, real incomes have gone down by $7,400 per family. Under President Trump, yearly income went up by more than $6,000. After revising Biden's fake job numbers by accounting for returning Trump workers who were already employed before the pandemic, just 2.1 million new jobs have been created during Biden's first 30 months in office, which is a disgrace. 

By contrast, in my first 30 months in office, we created 4.9 million new jobs, millions more than the experts predicted. Under Biden, gas prices are up 4, 5, 6, and even to $7 a gallon. Inflation has reached the highest level in half a century and mortgage rates are pushing a brutal 7% and going higher. Americans now have to pay $366,000 more in interest payments, just to purchase a house. When I was your President, the 30-year mortgage rate reached a record low of 2.65%. Wouldn't you like to have that back again? 

Inflation was less than 1.9%. And we had gasoline down to $1.87 a gallon. And in some cases even lower than that. Under Biden, the radical Democrat communists have piled over $10,000 of job-killing regulatory costs onto the backs of every single American household in less than three years. By contrast, under the Trump administration, we cut the cost of job-killing regulations by an amazing $11,000 per household. 

So, look at how that works when you compare them both. Under our leadership, 401K savings and retirement accounts were soaring. Under Biden, people have been set back for years to come. Biden even forced us into a recession. And then the media tried to change the definition of recession to protect him. They're always trying to protect him. But the people are getting wise to it now. It's no surprise that under our leadership, approval of the economy was three times higher than it is under Biden. 

When I was president, 63% of Americans rated the economy as excellent or good. Today, that number is just 19%. But America's economic resurgence is coming soon. With tax cuts, regulatory cuts, tariffs, energy independence, and even energy dominance which we will have. We will end Bidenomics and the disastrous Biden era the most incompetent president we've ever had will soon be over. We will do it quickly. We will do it effectively, and we will Make America Great Again. 

Thank you very much.
