President Trump Reveals When Americans Should Expect To See ‘A Whole Different Country’


Within days of his inauguration, leftist pundits were already blaming President Donald Trump for the price of eggs after spending four years defending Joe Biden’s disastrous economic policies.

For his part, Trump has promised a return to fiscal sanity but he’s not giving Americans the false hope that there’s an overnight remedy to generations of irresponsible spending and bloated government.

During a recent interview, he responded to a question from Fox News Channel’s Brian Kilmeade regarding when the mess he inherited from Biden will be come “a Trump economy” and Americans will “get to see if [his] plans are working.”

Breitbart provided his response:

Trump responded, “Well, it takes a period of six months to a year. Biden really screwed up our country. … If you look at the deficits we have with other countries, that should have been taken care of, Brian. … So, it takes a period of time. We’re going to have a very strong country, it’s going to take a little while to get it back. Just like inflation, I gave him almost no inflation…and it went up to 9.9%. … I would say, in twelve months, we’re going to have a whole different country.”

Although it will take months to notice foundational change to the nation’s economy, Trump’s actions and rhetoric are already putting American on a stronger footing or at least sparking some interesting conversations:

Nevertheless, many Americans are apparently upset that Trump wasn’t able to single-handedly reverse all of the damage inflicted on the economy by his predecessor within his first month in office.

As Newsweek reported:

A Reuters/Ipsos poll conducted between February 12 and 18 showed that Trump’s overall approval rating fell to 44 percent. In a January 24 to 26 poll, it was 45 percent, and it was 47 percent in a January 20 to 21 poll. Polling by Emerson College has shown a similar trend.

According to CNN pollster Harry Enten, this is being driven by growing voter dissatisfaction with Trump’s handling of the economy. An Ipsos poll from February 2017, during Trump’s first term, showed his approval rating on the economy at +16 points, while a Quinnipiac University poll from the same time showed his approval rating at +6. However, Ipsos polling from February 13 to 18 shows his approval rating on the economy at -8, while Quinnipiac’s poll from this month, conducted between February 13 and 17, shows it at -4.

Other polls have also shown Trump’s approval rating on the economy dropping. According to theReuters/Ipsos poll conducted between February 12 and 18, 53 percent of Americans believed the economy was on the wrong track, up from 43 percent in the organizations’ January 24 to 26 poll. Meanwhile, a YouGov/Economist poll from February 16 to 18 showed 46 percent of voters approve of Trump’s handling of the economy, while 42 percent disapprove. That is down from January 26 to 28 when 49 percent of voters approved and 37 percent disapproved.

For those capable of being patient and giving Trump’s policies time to take effect, however, the president says great things are in store. Here’s a clip from his recent interview with Kilmeade:

He recently expressed confidence that a beneficial trade deal with China is possible under his leadership:
