President Donald Trump on Thursday bemoaned the economic situation he claimed to have inherited from President Joe Biden and complained that polling data did not reflect the efforts he had made toward improving things.

"I inherited a MESS from the Biden Administration — The Worst Inflation in History, and the Highest Prices our Country has ever seen," he posted on Truth Social. "In other words, Affordability, just 13 months ago, was a DISASTER for the American People, but now, it’s totally different!"

"Prices are coming down FAST, Energy, Oil and Gasoline, are hitting five year lows, and the Stock Market today just hit an All Time High. Tariffs are bringing in Hundreds of Billions of Dollars, and we are respected as a Nation again," he added. "When will I get credit for having created, with No Inflation, perhaps the Greatest Economy in the History of our Country? When will people understand what is happening? When will Polls reflect the Greatness of America at this point in time, and how bad it was just one year ago?"

Trump currently boasts a 43.7% approval rating in the RealClearPolitics polling average. A further 53.3% disapproved of his performance.
