Dem Rep. Brendan Boyle’s latest spin on MSNBC’s The Last Word is a masterclass in revisionist history: claiming Donald Trump inherited a booming economy from Joe Biden, complete with easing inflation and advancing growth. Boyle laments that Trump is somehow wrecking this supposed paradise he stepped into. Never mind the Biden-era inflation that peaked at 9.1% in June 2022—double the Fed’s target—fueled by trillions in reckless spending like the $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan and the Inflation Reduction Act’s green boondoggles. Real wages stagnated or declined for most Americans under Biden, with purchasing power eroded by 20-25% on essentials like food and energy. Boyle’s narrative ignores these facts, cherry-picking recent cooling metrics that stem from the Fed’s belated rate hikes and Trump’s incoming policies signaling stability.

This isn’t just economic gaslighting—it’s a direct threat to the 2A community. Under Biden-Harris, inflation crushed working-class gun owners, making it harder to afford ammo, firearms, or range time; NICS background checks dipped amid squeezed budgets, while ATF’s regulatory onslaught (think pistol brace bans and forced serialization) piled on. Boyle’s crew in Congress pushed budgets ballooning the welfare state, diverting funds from border security to handouts that indirectly empower cartels flooding guns south of the border—fueling the very gun violence excuses Dems use for confiscation schemes. Trump’s inheritance? A debt-laden mess primed for recession, with manufacturing PMI contracting and consumer confidence tanking pre-election.

For 2A patriots, Boyle’s whopper underscores the stakes: a Democrat-controlled economy means fiscal chaos that weakens self-reliant Americans, paving the way for more common-sense restrictions disguised as safety nets. Trump’s return promises deregulation and growth to restore affordability, letting families prioritize protection over survival. Keep calling out these lies—our rights depend on economic truth.
