In what may be the most tone-deaf political statement of 2026, House Budget Committee Ranking Member Rep. Brendan Boyle (D-PA) actually claimed on MSNBC that President Trump "inherited a good economy" from Joe Biden and somehow messed it up.
Let that sink in, patriots. This Democrat lawmaker wants Americans to believe that Trump - who has delivered 20 consecutive months of economic growth, record-low unemployment, and soaring stock markets - somehow ruined Biden's "good economy."
What planet is this guy living on?
The Biden Economic Disaster Trump Actually Inherited
Here's what Trump really inherited from the Biden regime in January 2025: crushing inflation that peaked at 9.1%, gas prices over $5 per gallon, a border crisis costing taxpayers billions, and an economy where families couldn't afford groceries.
Remember those empty shelves? The supply chain disasters? The energy crisis that had Americans choosing between heating and eating?
Boyle conveniently forgets that Biden's reckless spending and war on American energy created the worst inflation crisis in 40 years. Working families were drowning under Bidenomics while Democrats like Boyle cheered from the sidelines.
Trump's Economic BOOM Speaks for Itself
Since President Trump returned to the White House, America has witnessed:
• Record stock market gains
• Plummeting energy costs thanks to "Drill, Baby, Drill"
• Manufacturing jobs returning to American soil
• Small business confidence at all-time highs
• Real wage growth for working Americans
But somehow, in Boyle's twisted worldview, this represents Trump "messing up" Biden's economy. The cognitive dissonance is staggering.
"This is exactly why Americans rejected Democrats so decisively in 2024," said one GOP strategist. "They live in a completely different reality than hardworking families."
Democrats like Boyle can't accept that their policies failed spectacularly, so they're now trying to rewrite history in real-time. They're banking on Americans having short memories about the Biden disaster years.
Nice try, Congressman. But the American people know exactly who delivered the economic prosperity they're enjoying today - and it sure wasn't Joe Biden.
