President Donald Trump attempted to reverse the continued slide in his economic approval rating by shifting blame for the affordability crisis and insisting that "prices are coming down fast."

The latest AP-NORC survey released Thursday found just 31 percent of respondents approve of Trump's handling of the economy, down 2 percent from last month and plummeting 9 points since March, and marks his lowest approval rating on the topic in either of his terms in the White House.

"I inherited a MESS from the Biden Administration — The Worst Inflation in History, and the Highest Prices our Country has ever seen," Trump posted on Truth Social. "In other words, Affordability, just 13 months ago, was a DISASTER for the American People, but now, it’s totally different!"

"Prices are coming down FAST, Energy, Oil and Gasoline, are hitting five year lows, and the Stock Market today just hit an All Time High," he added. "Tariffs are bringing in Hundreds of Billions of Dollars, and we are respected as a Nation again."

Oil and gasoline prices have reached post-pandemic lows, and the stock market has neared record highs. Trump's sweeping tariffs on imports, however, have cost the average American household nearly $1,200 this year and could cost even more next year.

"When will I get credit for having created, with No Inflation, perhaps the Greatest Economy in the History of our Country?" Trump complained. "When will people understand what is happening? When will Polls reflect the Greatness of America at this point in time, and how bad it was just one year ago?
