I thought this too. Why didn't Trump just level with the American people when he was President? Why change 180 degrees from when he was running? Why not just be honest and now, resolve to actually fix the issues?
Instead, he claimed our economy was "the best ever" which makes him look like a tool. The structural problems that existed when he was running still were there when he was President. Why bullshit everyone?
It will be incredibly easy for the Dems to claim Republicans and Trump broke the economy! And it's because Trump didn't level with everyone once he was elected.
