US President Donald Trump praised the performance of the economy under his government and reiterated accusations that Democrats are “to blame” for the shutdown of federal activities, when speaking at the America Business forum in Miami. The comment comes after the Republican Party lost several key districts in regional elections on Tuesday, with economic dissatisfaction emerging among voters.
“Democrats are keeping the government closed and forcing public servants to work without a paycheck because they want to maintain Joe Biden’s bad policies and give free health care to illegal aliens,” he said. “They called me a bad person yesterday, but I’m not. I just want a great country again, is that too much to ask?”
Trump highlighted the focus of his administration and the promise of transforming the US economy into the “best in the world”, with a performance superior to that achieved in his first term and “resilient borders” to immigration.

The president highlighted as achievements the rally in American stock markets, which recently renewed historic records, and the “trillions of dollars” obtained in investments for the USA following trade agreements. According to him, the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is also strong, driven by tariffs.
Trump said he hopes to see these achievements reflected in the job market with the creation of “thousands of jobs” and rapid wage growth, as the US reindustrializes and builds “some of the greatest buildings in the world.” “We are in a period of transition, from a horrible country to a success,” he said.
The republic blamed its Democratic predecessor for rising inflation in food, goods, gasoline and mortgages to high levels. “Under our management, prices fell quickly and we can talk about the American dream again”, he stated, also pointing out the drop in Federal Reserve (Fed) interest rates this year “despite having an incompetent there”, in a veiled criticism of the president of the North American BC, Jerome Powell.
