Former President Donald Trump has reignited fierce debate over America’s financial future, delivering a scathing critique of President Joe Biden’s economic policies amid rising inflation, market uncertainty, and fears of a looming recession. In a high-profile address at the America First Economic Summit in Miami, Trump warned that the current trajectory of the U.S. economy is “unsustainable,” calling for immediate structural reforms to avoid what he described as an “economic catastrophe.”
Trump’s Warning: “We’re on the Brink of Financial Disaster”
Trump accused the Biden administration of mismanaging the economy through excessive government spending, overregulation, and what he labeled as “weak leadership” on the global stage. He emphasized that the rising national debt, which recently surpassed $36 trillion, combined with persistent inflationary pressures, threatens to erode the financial security of millions of Americans.
“We handed them a booming economy, record-low unemployment, and energy independence. In just a few short years, they’ve turned it into chaos,” Trump said. “Families can’t afford groceries, mortgage rates are through the roof, and the American Dream is slipping away.”
Key Economic Concerns: What’s Driving the Financial Strain?

| Health Insurance | +5.7% |
| Food & Groceries | +4.9% |

2. Soaring Interest Rates
With benchmark interest rates at 5.25%, borrowing costs have surged, driving mortgage rates above 7% — the highest in two decades.
3. Rising National Debt
The U.S. national debt is projected to hit $40 trillion by 2027, sparking concerns over fiscal sustainability.
