Trump Has Sights Set On Liberal Enclave As He Slams 'Bidenomics' Outside of Courtroom


Former President Donald Trump recited a litany of bad economic news after emerging from the Manhattan courtroom where he is on trial for allegedly trying to illegally hide ‘hush money’ payments to adult film star Stormy Daniels.

Blasting “Bidenomics,” Trump noted a government report this week that said gross domestic product had fallen to below 2 percent, gas prices in some parts of the country, like California, were soaring past $7 a gallon, and other inflationary pressures were harming the majority of American workers under the current president.

“Some very big things have happened, but the biggest seems to be that the GDP just announced us all the way down to 1.6%, and it’s heading south. It’s going to get worse. Gas prices in California were just also announced at $7.60. Gasoline is going way up. Energy costs are going way up and the stock market is, in a sense, crashing,” Trump said Thursday morning before heading into the courtroom, per Fox News.

“This is Bidenomics. It’s catching up with them,” he said.

According to the Bureau of Economic Analysis, the U.S. economy grew at an annualized pace of 1.6% during the first quarter, which was slower than expected.

“The big news today, I think, is the 1.6%. When you look at 1.6 GDP, that’s a number that nobody thought was possible. That’s a real bad number. And it looks like the projections are it’s heading in the wrong direction. And that’s why the stock market’s down so big today,” Trump said.

Trump announced plans to hold rallies in New York City and suggested it could be competitive in the presidential election.

“I think we have a good chance of winning New York. We’re going to give it a big play. We’re going to the South Bronx to do a rally. We’re going to be doing a rally at Madison Square Garden, we believe.… We’re gonna have a big rally honoring the police and honoring the firemen and everybody. Honoring a lot of people, including teachers,” he said.
