Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL) found himself in disbelief after CNN host John Berman reminded him that GDP growth under President Donald Trump was lower than it was under former President Joe Biden.
During a Wednesday interview on CNN, Donald insisted that there was “no real GDP growth” during the Biden years.
“You brought up GDP growth,” Berman noted. “Inflation was higher, but GDP growth was also higher during the Biden administration.”
“That’s not true,” Donald muttered. “But okay.”
“GDP growth?” Berman replied. “You can go check GDP growth. I mean, you can say what you want about inflation, but the GDP is what the GDP was. GDP growth last quarter was 1.4%.”
“Under Joe Biden’s economy, wages adjusted for inflation were down in America,” the lawmaker quipped.
“I was talking about GDP,” the CNN host said. “All I was saying was GDP growth, what you said was higher under Trump than Biden. That’s actually not true.”
