Former President Donald Trump focused on economic issues during a rally in Wisconsin on Wednesday and vowed to quickly turn around President Joe Biden’s inflationary economy.
It was the first time he made a campaign appearance outside of New York on a weekday since his criminal trial began on April 15 regarding the alleged falsification of business records to cover a payment of $130,000 to adult film star Stormy Daniels.
“When I’m in the White House, the Biden economic bust will quickly be replaced by the Trump economic boom,” Trump said to a lively crowd at the Waukesha County Expo Center. “When I left office, we handed Crooked Joe the fastest economic recovery ever recorded.
“The stock market was at a record high. The price of gasoline was $2 and even less than that a gallon. Think of that. We had periods of time where it was $1.57, $1.87; how does that sound to you? The 30-year mortgage rate was at a record low, the lowest ever recorded. Think of this, 2.65%, that’s what your mortgage rates were. Now you can’t get a mortgage. If you want to pay 8 or 9%, you still can’t get ‘em. And we had no inflation,” he added, according to Newsmax.
