President Donald Trump showed himself in an exclusive interview with NBC News, which was broadcast on Sunday, the “good parts” of the economy, but said that the “bad parts” of the former president Joe Biden are.

Trump defended his tariffs, even in the middle of the economic uncertainty, which resulted from the extensive announcement.

“Ultimately, I take responsibility for everything, but I've only been here for a little more than three months,” said Trump.

“The tariffs just started to get in. … The tariffs will make us rich. We'll be a very rich country,” he added.

It is not the first time that Trump tried to shift the fault of his predecessor. Only last week he made the contract for bidges for the US economy in the first quarter of the year.

Trump also doubled in comments, which he dropped during a cabinet seat at the beginning of the week when he released concerns that his tariffs would lead to a lack of care.

“I don't think a beautiful little girl – that's 11 years old – have 30 dolls,” said Trump.

“I'm just saying [children] You don't have to have 30 dolls, you can have three, you don't have to have 250 pens, you can have five, ”he added.

In the interview, Trump also played the possibility of long-term negative effects of his tariffs on the US economy, even if the United States is experiencing a recession at short notice.

“Look, yes, it's – everything is okay. What we are – I said that is a transition period. I think we'll make you fantastic,” he said to Welker.
