President Donald Trump has promised for 20 months that the U.S. is about to have an economic boom.

But the surprisingly positive August jobs report, released on Friday, became a burden for him instead.

Speaking from the Oval Office, Trump complained about inflation and interest rates, targeting financial markets, the Federal Reserve, and trading partners.

He rejected the economic idea that adding 162,000 jobs could fuel inflation, saying, "Success does not cause inflation."

During Trump's second term, job growth slowed and prices kept rising. The historic growth he promised has not happened yet.

The economy grew only about 2% per year. That is slower than during the Biden administration.

Trump blamed high interest rates on U.S. government debt for this. He also threatened to stop trade with foreign countries.

National debt has passed 40 trillion dollars. The yield on 10-year government bonds rose to 4.79%.

Public trust in the president's handling of the economy has declined.

According to polls, his economic approval rating was 32% in mid-summer. This contrasts with the 50% he had during the 2018 midterm elections.

Joe Brusuelas, chief economist at the consulting firm RSM US, said the administration's credibility has suffered. He blamed overly optimistic forecasts that did not match reality.

If Trump pressures the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates, the potential cash inflow could make inflation worse.

Trump officials say the policies are working as intended.

Christopher Phelan, head of the White House Council of Economic Advisers, said productivity gains could boost growth, and he expects higher growth.

But Social Security and Medicare costs are rising faster than revenue, so growth alone cannot easily reduce the budget deficit.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said he is preparing a plan to lower debt and deficit levels, but spending cuts and tax increases carry political risks.
