According to a former adviser to ex-House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH), Donald Trump will end up paying the price for derailing a U.S. economy that was on the upswing when he took office.
Appearing on MSNBC with host Chris Jansing, GOP insider Brendan Buck hammered the president over his trade war and stated he will have to live with the consequences of the financial instability his tariffs have created.
With Jansing pointing to the new jobs report that shows unemployment stalled at 4.2 percent, she asked her guest, "I wonder if we're going to see the president taking credit for this in the economy, right after claiming it's actually Joe Biden's economy?"

"Yeah, well, the White House already put out a paper declaring a jobs boom today," the amused Buck replied before quipping, "So yeah, of course. When the GDP numbers go down it's Joe Biden's economy. When jobs numbers look good, it's Trump's economy."
Turning serious, he continued, "Look, I think this shows two things. One, as we discussed, Donald Trump inherited an economy that was ready to take off; he didn't have to do a whole lot to have a really solid economic legacy. But he's completely botched it through this trade policy."
"But I love it when they embrace, you know, a good jobs number like today because I do think the president is going to own whatever happens here for better or worse. And there will be no being able to blame Joe Biden if store shelves are empty."
