Staff ReportsJoe Biden spent four years turning the American economy into a disaster zone, and now that President-elect Donald Trump is stepping in to clean up the mess, Democrats are already positioning themselves to take credit for the inevitable recovery.
It’s a bold strategy—wreck the car, hand over the keys, and then claim you were the genius behind the repairs. But this is the Democratic Party we’re talking about, and shameless spin is their specialty.
The Biden-Era Dumpster Fire
Under Biden, the economy has suffered catastrophic damage:
- Inflation surged by over 20%, gutting household buying power.
- Real wages fell, while prices for food, gas, and housing exploded.
- Household debt hit a historic $18 trillion, with credit card and loan delinquencies reaching recession-level highs.
Add to that Biden’s war on energy independence and his refusal to rein in bloated government spending, and it’s no wonder the middle class has been crushed under his watch. By the time Trump takes office in January, the economy will be teetering on the edge of total collapse.
Trump’s Plan to Save the Day
Trump isn’t walking into the White House with empty promises; he has a plan, and it’s a plan that works. We’ve seen it before. During his first term, Trump slashed taxes, eliminated strangling regulations, and turned America into a global energy leader. The result?
- Record-low unemployment across all demographics.
- Soaring wages for working-class Americans.
- Energy independence that kept costs low and jobs plentiful.
Now, Trump is poised to do it again. With the help of Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy at the Department of Government Efficiency, he’s ready to cut wasteful spending, revive American businesses, and bring relief to struggling families.
Enter the Democrat Spin Machine
Here’s the kicker: as soon as Trump’s policies begin to take effect and the economy rebounds, Democrats will claim they deserve the credit. It’s a move straight out of their playbook.
We saw it in 2017 when Trump reversed Obama’s failed policies and unleashed an economic boom. Back then, Democrats tried to argue that Trump was simply riding the wave of Obama’s “recovery”—a wave that conveniently never showed up until Trump took office.
Expect the same narrative this time around. You’ll hear phrases like:
- “Trump is benefiting from Biden’s long-term economic vision.”
- “The seeds planted during Biden’s presidency are now bearing fruit.”
- “This recovery wouldn’t have been possible without Democratic leadership.”
It’s laughable, but don’t underestimate their ability to sell the spin.
Americans Know the Truth
The 2024 election was a referendum on Biden’s economic failures and Trump’s proven leadership. Voters sent a loud and clear message: they trust Trump to fix what Democrats broke.
When the economy roars back to life under Trump’s policies, Democrats will try to rewrite history. But the American people won’t be fooled. They know who wrecked the economy—and they’ll know who saved it.
So, grab some popcorn, because watching the Democrats twist themselves into knots to claim credit for Trump’s success might just be the best show of 2025.
