President Donald Trump blamed former President Joe Biden for weak economic data that sent stocks tumbling, arguing government data showing increased domestic investment signaled his tariffs are working.

“I have to start off by saying, that’s Biden. That’s not Trump,” Trump said Wednesday during a Cabinet meeting.

Inflation-adjusted gross domestic product decreased an annualized 0.3% in the first quarter, well below average growth of about 3%, according to initial government data published Wednesday.

“Let’s give us a pass on the first month, we were sort of getting a little bit used to things,” Trump added.
