The blame game that was so popular with leftists when Trump was in office is a treat they just can’t give up. So no matter what or when it is, Biden blames Trump. It’s absurd. Larry Kudlow breaks down the economics of the Trump obsession of the Left and its ongoing function.
Chuck Schumer complained about gas prices under President Trump.
They are currently higher under Joe Biden.
So why is he silent now?

Kudlow: Did you know that more Americans have died of COVID in 2021 than in all of 2020? Tragic. But those are the facts.
Did you know that Joe Biden called Donald Trump every name in the book when the former president put in a travel ban for China and Europe? Every name in the book. Now, however, Mr. Biden himself is utilizing a travel ban on southern Africa. What goes around, comes around.
Did you also know that the inflation rate under Joe Biden started to rise last March and is presently 7.6% at an annual rate through October? During that period, real GDP increased 4.4% SAAR. In President Trump’s last year, or his last three quarters of the V-shaped recovery, GDP growth was 14.9% SAAR. And the CPI inflation was 2.8%.
So, just at this point, even while Mr. Biden blames Trump for everything under the sun, Trump had higher growth and lower inflation. Uncle Joe has lower growth and much higher inflation. And the real inflation began in March and April, just about the same time the Bidens pushed a $2 trillion relief package into public hands, which, by the way, was a deterrent to work.
And that deterrent itself was a big reason for the pandemic supply chain bottlenecks. So were rigid union rules. So were bad regulations in the West Coast ports and equally bad regulations on the trucking industry.
But I’m going to argue upfront that President Trump’s economic performance during the pandemic, his V-shaped recovery, was a better performance than Mr. Biden’s with his $2 trillion spending spree, and more reckless spending to come. Also, Mr. Trump had much lower inflation, proving that you can have strong growth with lower inflation, provided that fiscal and monetary policies are cautious and balanced.
And by the way, this was Donald Trump’s second recovery, because his first boom occurred after the historic tax cuts of 2017. One more fact, stay with me folks.
Under President Trump’s energy independence policies of total deregulation of the fossil fuel industries, America was producing a record 13 million-plus barrels per day just on the cusp of the pandemic. During the pandemic storm, the number dropped to 11 million barrels per day, where unfortunately is where it sits today. Why aren’t the producers producing and the drillers drilling? Because of Mr. Biden’s war on fossil fuels, and his obsessive, unproven, and ideologically driven climate change policies.
So wrapping it up folks, problem number one today is inflation. Problem number two is a lack of affordable and plentiful energy. Problem number three is Uncle Sam needs to stop paying people to stay home and not work.
My solution? Senators Manchin and Sinema should pause Biden’s reckless spending and taxing bill until inflation comes down if it ever does. A pause into next year is consistent with Senator Manchin’s recent statements. I sincerely hope he sticks to his guns. Because we need to save America. And kill the bill.

Biden “owns” all since 1-20-21 date
FJB is an incompetent POS!! Barack Hussein Obama and Fauci are running our Country into the ground!
While we are on this certain topic, of comparing #45’s and #46’s Actions! I have a very …. very serious question about why did #46 Cancel #45’s US Southern Border PPO Action, in the very 1st place? It has Finally been reported today (12/02/2021 AD) that #46 is Finally Re-Instating #45’s Southern Border PPO Actions, when The US Supreme Court Decided To Dictate To #46’s Whole Administration To Start Re-Enforcing #45’s US Southern Border PPO Action About 2 or 3 Months Ago, During That F_____d Up Afghanistan Disasterous = Bungled Withdrawl Action, When There Was A Lot Of Legal US Citizens Still Inside That Country Of Afghanistan Minus All Of Those Afghanistan Citizens, Who Are Illegal Aliens, Whose Truly Had To Go Through The Legal Way, According To The Newest Version Of The US Immigration And Naturalization Act Rules And Regulations As Of 7/27/1993 AD, But #46 DID NOT DO WHAT IT WAS TOLD TO DO BY THE US SUPREME COURT DECISION TO RE-INACT BACK THEN!?!
Yet there are 41% of those polled who think Biden is doing a good job. Wow talk about being in denial that this guy is clueless about how to lead a country. Goes to show you what one-year of experience repeated 47 + 8 years is no learning and no experience at all. Biden epitomizes the Peter Principle.
We need to have A-war Americans against democrats democrats and instead of throwing money at the democrats I think we should be throwing bullets at them let’s stop communism communism now the only way to stop communism is with war
Joe Brandon has never ever accepted responsibility for any of his multitude of screw ups and disasters he created!
FJB
I disagree on one thing, Problem Number ONE is Joe Biden and his COMMUNIST DEMOCRATS. GOD BLESS A FREE -THINKING USA
Joe Biden is a very evil Anti-American Communist that should have been arrested years ago for High Treason right along with Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, Nancy Pelosi, Eric Holder, Jerry Nadler, Adam Schiff, Chuck Schumer, Mike Bloomberg, George Soros, as well as all of the Biden Administration.

The “Fool On The Hill” strikes again
Say Mr. Biden, Sir, Please STOP ALWAYS PLACING THE BLAME ON #45, He Followed The Whole US Constitution To The Letter And Word! It Is Your US Political Equations FAULT, For What Is Happening In The USA Today And During #45’s US Presidency! This Morning, Only A Block Away From Columbia University, A PHD Graduate Of The Name Of Mr. Davide Giri, 30, Was Killed By A Gang Member Of The LA Bloods With A Knife, NOT A Gun Or A Rifle! What Are You And Those Communistic Socialistic Progressive Liberal Democratic Donkey Party Members Going To To Do About This Tragedy! How About CLEANING UP THE WHOLE WEST COAST AND The North Central And Northeast US Region! You Know That New York City Was Called The Big Apple About 10 Years Ago, But Now It Is Being Called The Big Toilet, What Are You Going To Do About These Tragedies!!!???!!!!
First sign of a coward and a traitor, ” PASS THE BUCK”. This dope has no spine or morals.
Biden doesn’t remember Trump. This is all coming from Obama.
It’s a darned good thing that President Trump has broad shoulders and a strong backbone. I’ve never seen a man who has been and is being blamed for the mistakes of others as President Trump has been. Especially by a man, who has made as many mistakes as biden. How does he sleep at night with all the blood he has on his hands? All those heroes and others lost in Afghanistan, all at the hands of biden’s, too stupid or hateful to want to follow what President Trump had successfully been doing! Had he only done what President Trump had laid out for him those heroes would still be alive! But biden seems to think anytime he makes a mistake, he can blame Trump, and bring up his dead son, who has been so for years, rather than being considerate to those parents, whose grief was so fresh, and done at
the hands of biden’s stupidity! Trying to act big, bad, and tough, and too stupid to even follow advice from Generals..All that blood is on biden’s hands.His “vegetable” state of mind is showing…..
