Trump wrote tonight (April 30th, Beijing Time): "This is Biden's stock market, not Trump's. I didn't take office until January 20th. Tariffs will soon take effect, and companies will start moving into the United States in record numbers. Our country will prosper, but we must first get rid of the 'shadow' left by Biden. It will take some time, and it has nothing to do with tariffs; it's just that he left us with bad data. But once prosperity begins, it will be unprecedented. Please be patient!!!"
[Smart Comment]: How do Americans view this statement from Trump? From current public opinion, it seems that this kind of statement from Trump is not bought by the majority. He attributes all good expectations to himself and blames all current economic problems on his predecessor, President Biden. This "scapegoating" approach seems somewhat far-fetched. In fact, since taking office, the performance of the U.S. stock market has not been ideal. The S&P 500 index has fallen by about 8% since he took the oath of office, marking the worst stock market performance for a president in the first 100 days since Ford in 1974. Additionally, Trump's tariff policies have caused significant fluctuations and uncertainties in the market, causing many businesses and investors to feel uneasy. Therefore, in the comments section of this statement, there is almost unanimous criticism of Trump, believing that he has not handled economic issues well and instead shifts responsibility.
