President Donald Trump used Friday’s jobs report to vent frustration rather than celebrate momentum on growth. Despite a positive report, he blamed inflation and interest rates on financial markets, the Federal Reserve, and trade partners. Trump rejected the idea that job gains lead to inflation, saying, “Success does not cause inflation. Stupidity causes inflation.” The article says his inability to deliver stronger growth has damaged his credibility, and that he continues to point to high interest rates and tariffs as sources of economic strain. Still, his aides are reportedly optimistic that AI, tariffs, and tax cuts can boost growth, while experts warn that faster growth alone cannot close budget deficits.
