Representative Baumgartner’s recent CNN interview is yet another example of his hypocrisy and his complete disconnect from his constituents’ reality. First, he tries to blame the current economic difficulties on a past president, who has been out of office for over a year and a half. Then, when called on it, tries to say that presidents don’t actually have much to do with the economy anyway – well, which is it?
Both Trump and Baumgartner frequently brag about all the bold moves Trump has made to “better” our economy, but when rising costs on every front (rent, groceries, fuel, health care, the list feels endless) are rightfully explained as the result of Trump’s erratic decisions, ever-changing tariffs, military aggression, and destruction of federal standards, suddenly it’s that other guy’s fault? Not the one who’s been bragging about all his power and decisions for the last 14 months, no not this guy, the retired one.
