Former President Donald Trump ripped President Joe Biden for Friday’s weaker than expected jobs report and promised new economic policies that protect American workers.
The economy is the number one issue in 2024, according to CNN. About half of voters in swing states Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and Michigan believe the economy got worse under Biden’s management, a CBS News poll found Sunday.
Before heading into a Manhattan courtroom for his “rigged” criminal trial on Friday, Trump outlined policies to fix Biden’s economy, which is plagued with sticky inflation and soaring costs — nearly 20 percent higher than when Trump left office.
A Big Mac burger with a medium beverage and a medium order of fries costs $18 in some locations, up $10 from 2018 when Trump was president.
“My plan for jobs it to drill, baby, drill to bring energy down; to close up the border; to get rid of all the criminals that are being allowed into our country,” Trump told reporters.
Biden’s jobs report found American businesses added 175,000 workers, which is below expectations. “Economists had forecast payrolls would grow by 240,000 and the unemployment rate would hold steady at the prior month’s 3.8 percent,” Breitbart News’ John Carney reported.
“The job numbers just came out and they’re horrible,” Trump said. “Really low, really bad. Our economy is bad.”
Trump’s America First policies are designed to protect American workers.
Under Biden’s economic plan, American workers’ wages are diminished by migration, Breitbart News’ Neil Munro reported:
The migrant inflow has successfully forced down Americans’ wages and also boosted rents and housing prices. The inflow has also pushed many native-born Americans out of careers in a wide variety of business sectors and contributed to the rising death rate of poor Americans.
The lethal policy also sucks jobs and wealth from heartland states by subsidizing coastal investors with a flood of low-wage workers, high-occupancy renters, and government-aided consumers.
The population inflow also reduces the political clout of native-born Americans, because the population replacement allows elites to divorce themselves from the needs and interests of ordinary Americans.
Earlier this week in Wisconsin, Trump vowed to “throw out” Biden’s so-called “Bidenomics” and reinstate “MAGAnomics” upon victory in November.
“Upon taking office, I will impose an immediate moratorium on all new spending, grants, and giveaways under Joe Biden’s mammoth socialist bills like the so-called Inflation Reduction Act,” he said.
“We are going to stop the Biden spending spree,” he continued to a cheering crowd. “We are going to halt his inflation death spiral. We are going to terminate his Green New Scam. We are going to end his war on American energy. And we are going to drill, baby, drill.”
