特朗普的关税政策及其对伊朗的战争导致物价上涨,但这位美国总统仍不断声称这是“历史上最伟大的经济”。

Trump’s tariffs and his war against Iran caused prices to rise, but the US president continues to claim it’s ‘the greatest economy in history’ Donald Trump has taken to repeating a familiar boast: “We have the greatest economy in history,” Trump said recently at a White House press gaggle. The boast comes even though inflation is higher and economic growth lower than when Joe Biden left office, even though gas prices have jumped around 50% since the war against Iran started, and even though 73% of Americans think the economy is in fair or poor shape (48% say it’s in poor shape). What’s more, the Federal Reserve is so worried about inflation that it just raised interest rates.

美国主要工会联合会AFL-CIO的首席经济学家达里克·汉密尔顿表示:“他说经济是有史以来最伟大的,这纯属虚张声势和煤气灯效应。从多项指标来看,经济正在走下坡路。其中很大一部分是由特朗普的非受迫性失误造成的。”

“It’s bluster, it’s gaslighting for him to say the economy is the greatest ever,” said Darrick Hamilton, chief economist for the AFL-CIO, the nation’s main union federation. “The economy is trending down by many measures. A lot of that has been caused by Trump’s unforced errors.”
