A Republican ex-congressman and current Trump campaign adviser claimed President Trump, not the Obama-Biden administration, "owns" the economy in its current state.
Former Rep. Jack Kingston, R-Ga., responded Monday on "The Story" to claims from 2020 presidential candidate Joe Biden, who charged Trump "inherited" a growing economy from himself and former President Obama.
Biden made the original remarks at a Philadelphia rally earlier this month, telling the crowd at Eakins Oval that Trump was engaging in "alternative facts."
"I know President Trump likes to take credit for the economy and the economic growth and the low unemployment numbers," Biden told supporters. "But... President Trump inherited an economy from [the] Obama-Biden administration - that was given to him, just like he inherited everything else in his life."
Kingston disagreed, telling Martha MacCallum there is "not a Democratic candidate on the ballot" who can claim, "I can do better than what [Trump] is doing."
"The economy is owned by Donald Trump. And, he is going to make it the mainstay of his... re-election," Kingston charged.
"I think it's important for President Trump to continue talking about this astounding numbers that he has put on the board," he continued. "He has absolutely moved the needle and changed lives of Americans."

They were predicting a recession in 2017 no matter who the president was to have been. Sure they can find video of that to prove how good Trump did
The PROOF that this is Trump’s economic success would be to ask if anyone would blame Obama if we are currently in a recession.
Of course not. They would be piling on Trump and touting his past failures as evidence of his incompetence (as if any business gets it 100% right)
In fact, they were so HOPING Trump would screw things up that his success must be absolutely denied....just like the election results.
If we had honest media everyone would know this.
I hope He also comes out and says it is absolutely shameful that obama is trying to steal the glory- shameful! After his failed presidency- He is trying to steal the thunder? despicable
Duh. If a sports team sucked, and a new coach comes in and turns the the team into a winner, its not because of the old coach.
Especially if the new coach changed nearly every single policy from the old coach.

Yeah, Biden, you just go right ahead and run on what a “good president” Obama was. Just go right ahead and do that.
If Obama was a good president, Hillary would be in the WH right now.
Snicker.

Uh, is this the same economy that O-Hole and Groping Joe blamed on Bush for eight years?
Gropey Joe has certified brain damage so he can be excused for not remembering The Summer of Recovery hoax; but we remrmber. The rats nominating Gropey Joe will be so much fun. We can have a “Stupid Quote of the Day” contest everyday.
It’s the difference between a businessman running the country and a politician running the country. Trump is the CEO of America, Inc. and is working towards having the competitive advantage over other companies as well as making sure its employees are earning a good wage.
A government run by politicians does not nor will they ever understand the business principles of how a country should be run and that scares them to death.
