President Donald Trump summoned reporters to the Oval Office on Thursday to present charts he claimed showed a strong U.S. economy, according to AP. The appearance followed last week’s disappointing jobs report and his dismissal of Bureau of Labor Statistics chief Erika McEntarfer. Heritage Foundation economist Stephen Moore joined Trump in the Oval Office to discuss the economy. Using charts, Moore praised Trump’s economic record while criticizing Biden’s, as Trump stood beside him and voiced agreement. The Oval Office event reflected Trump’s effort to reshape the economic narrative amid solid markets, slowing job growth, and rising inflation driven by his new tariffs.
