On May 31, U.S. President Trump said on social media: “The Democrats inspired and ‘controlled’ the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) and deliberately gave us an extremely low growth rate, only 1.8% in 10 years.” How ridiculous and unpatriotic this is! They did the same thing to us in 2017, but we achieved twice as much growth as they predicted. The information they have recently released is even more ridiculous and untenable. I predict that our economic growth will be 3, 4, or even 5 times what they deliberately ‘allott’ to us (1.8%). And, as long as we achieve the minimum expected 3% growth, we’ll be able to offset our tax cuts (which, in fact, won’t cost us anything!). )”
