Trump Promised an American Boom. He Now Says It May Take a While

President Donald Trump said his first day in office marked the start of a “golden age” for the US. He and his advisers now say it could take months or longer to arrive.

Two months into Trump’s term, administration officials are rejecting the notion Trump has already taken ownership of an economy on which he vowed to work a “miracle.” They have celebrated positive data and blamed signs of weakness on Trump’s predecessor, Joe Biden, all while warning his plans won’t bear fruit overnight.
