(SRN NEWS/AP) – President Donald Trump visited Georgia to promote the economy on Thursday.
The White House has long said Trump would focus more on the economy, and he frequently points out that he doesn’t get enough credit for it. Recent months have been dominated by other issues, including deadly clashes during deportation efforts in Minneapolis and potential military action in Iran.
Trump’s destination in Georgia suggests he has something else on his mind, too. He was appearing in the congressional district previously represented by Marjorie Taylor Greene, a former supporter who resigned in January.
The president, who was especially fiery at times during his public remarks, also rmentioned the Supreme Court, which is weighing the legality of his use of an emergency powers law to impose worldwide tariffs.
“I’ve been waiting forever, forever, and the language is clear that I have the right to do it as president,” Trump shouted. He added, “The tariff is the greatest thing that has happened to this country.”
Trump also said that inflation is no longer a problem in the U.S., blaming Democrats for rising costs: “They caused the affordability problem. And we solved it.”
