During an interview with CNN’s Laura Coates, Dem Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear said Trump was going to inherit a healthy economy from Biden but he destroyed it with tariffs: COATES: “But if you give President Trump an ‘F,’ he is going to tell you then that ‘F’ is for former, as in the former president, President Biden, he is blaming the economy on that president. Does the former administration deserve at least some of the criticism?”BESHEAR: “Well, the former administration was attempting to build the economy of tomorrow, investing in really important industries like EVs and chips, in areas for our national security that we’ve got to catch up with the rest of the world. But what our families have said —“COATES: “Were they successful at that, governor?”BESHEAR: “— that the Biden Administration was building the economy of tomorrow, focused on EVs, chips, and other areas that we have to catch up in for our own national security. But our families were saying we need the economy of right now. Now, wages were catching up to inflation, and this president, President Trump, was going to inherit a good, healthy economy. But the day he walked out there with that big tariff board changed everything, made life harder for families he promised he’d make it easier for, and now the price of everything so much higher solely because of this president.”Source: CNN/Grabien
