Meanwhile, 25% of Trump voters polled said they believe the president is either mostly or entirely responsible for higher prices.

The White House told Politico that Americans should be blaming Trump’s predecessor, President Joe Biden, for rising costs and an unsteady job market.

A growing number of Americans who voted for President Donald Trump, here in the Oval Office on Wednesday, are starting to blame the lackluster economy on him, according to a new Politico poll.

“Cleaning up Joe Biden’s economic disaster has been a Day One priority for President Trump” White House spokesperson Kush Desai said, adding that the president is “just getting started implementing the policies that created historic economic prosperity in his first term.”

“Americans can rest assured that the best is yet to come,” Desai added.

He called the affordability crisis a “scam” and a Democrat-crafted “con-job” during a Cabinet meeting on Tuesday, where he told reporters the word “affordability” “doesn’t mean anything to anybody.”
