Former President Donald Trump slammed the state of the economy under President Biden’s administration, while touting campaign events in the heart of the Big Apple, before he entered the Manhattan courtroom for his seventh day on trial.
“Some very big things have happened, but the biggest seems to be that the GDP just announced us all the way down to 1.6% and it’s heading south. It’s going to get worse. Gas prices in California were just also announced at $7.60. Gasoline is going way up. Energy costs are going way up and the stock market is, in a sense, crashing,” Trump said Thursday morning before heading into the courtroom.
“This is Bidenomics. It’s catching up with them,” he said.
His comments followed the Bureau of Economic Analysis estimating the economy grew at an annualized pace of 1.6% during the first quarter, meaning the U.S. economy grew at a slower pace than anticipated.
