An American view of Trump's speech:

"In other words: It's not my fault.

The president, responding to voters' anxiety over the cost of living, laid blame at the feet of former President Joe Biden in the nearly 20 minutes that followed, mentioning his name seven times. The economy? Biden's fault. Crime? Biden. Healthcare? Biden. Bad immigration policy? You guessed it.

Trump has often blamed Biden for problems that have festered during his first year back in office, from Russia's war in Ukraine to the eyesore of offshore wind farms. He followed that playbook again on Wednesday, particularly when it came to the high cost of living, which he sought to cast as fleeting - just as Biden once did when prices rose."

Bump for necessity.

No.  It wasn't necessary.
You just posted it.
Everyone saw it.
No need to spam the forum.

Trump blamed Biden for a lot of problems.
This is no different than what any other POTUS does.
They all blame the previous administration.
And they are all right ... taking office doesn't immediately change things.
It takes years to undo what the previous administration screws up.

I deemed it necessary, so it was necessary.

We all know how long it takes for certain policies to take effect, but with indiscriminate and unreasonable tariffs causing uncertainty and losses, it is immediate.
