Because of course he will. He accepts no responsibility for anything that ever goes wrong due to his action / inaction but is ready to take the credit for all the imaginary things that go right. s o c i o p a t h y.
“Dictators thrive on control, and when things go wrong—whether it’s economic downturns, political unrest, or military failures—they rarely admit fault. Instead, they create enemies. By pointing fingers elsewhere, authoritarian leaders distract the public from their own incompetence and corruption”.
He can try to shift blame, people know that Trump's signature policy on tariffs set the economy in a downward spiral, Biden dealt with the same interest rates and higher with better results.
Let's unwrap this for clarity.
Trump is inaugurated inheriting a booming economy with stock market at record high.
Trump announces insane tariffs.
Stock market plumets.
Economists predict inflation and recession.
Trump wants rates to go down to give him short term help.
FED knows that is very bad.
Trump is going to create a North America in a way synonymous with North Korea in terms of isolationism. 0% rates and 100% tariffs is not healthy. Just puts everyone deeper into debt trying to survive. Dear Leader - just stop.
Being a Russian Asset for decades has its good and bad side. Some aspects of his actions are like the later years of B. Mussolini. Without the socialist early years or the serving in the military.

That’s assuming it was said by anyone at all - never mind this fictional doctor.
Putin is very happy.
That’s on him and his watch. But he will never admit he made a mistake or take accountability.
The art of the clusterfuck.

Power to coin money and regulate value of money belongs to Congress and Constitution does not allow Congress to give its powers to President.
Look up history of hyperinflation
What matters is how you DO IT.
Who gets harmed when something is done needs to be discussed before doing something.

Actually I blame 77 million specific individuals
An .25% interest rate cut doesn’t fix 150% tariffs on China or even 10% tariffs on rest of world.
Trumpty-dumBty accepts blame for NOTHING!
He will, however, take credit for ending the American Civil War.
