And Trump who took credit for economic gains under Biden now says the economic losses under Trump are Bidens fault. Trump is the Clay Davis of this story. He is a rainmaker. If and when it rains he takes credit. When it doesnt he blames someone else.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average has dropped 6.8% since Inauguration Day on Jan. 20. It was the worst start to a presidency for the index since the start of Richard Nixon's second term in 1973, according to Dow Jones Market Data.

Does he now have the worst ending and starting by any President economically?

Good jobs report today. Moran saying tariffs will come down in a few weeks and that a deal with China will happen (and China confirming the US has reached out).

Still time to take the off ramp.

Wait til the report is revised down. I wonder if we'll get that update like we did with every Biden era jobs reports.
