President Donald Trump is furious with his predecessor, former President Joe Biden, for leaving him in what he said is a precarious state with inflation and illegal immigration.

“Look, we’ve been treated very unfairly by Canada. We’ve been treated very unfairly by Mexico. But we’ve been treated very unfairly by every country all over the world. The European Union is horrible, horrible. And we’re going to get it back. And I have a choice,” he said in front of the White House on Tuesday.

“I could just coast, and eventually there’d be a blow up down the road, maybe a long way. But we owe $36 trillion, and we’re going to get it back. We’re the biggest. We’re the biggest. We’re the best. And I’m very optimistic. I have to tell you, I’m very optimistic about the country, much more optimistic this way than if I did it the easy way. I could have done it the easy way. I could have coasted,” the president said.

“Biden left us a mess. He left us tremendous inflation, tremendously high costs of products. He left us a mess. But he also left us a mess with millions of people that poured into our country that are criminals. Millions of those people happen to be criminals. And we’re looking for them all over the place,” Trump continued.

“We’re looking for them. And Homan and Christie are doing an incredible job. But he left us a horrible situation. And we’re changing it. But one of the things we’re changing is we’re going to make our country really wealthy again. We’re going to bring our jobs back,” Trump said.

“Right now, we’re like a chicken that’s being plucked at from all over the world. We’re not going to let that happen anymore,” he said.
