MILWAUKEE Republicans kicked off their presidential nominating convention Monday continuing to sell a myth critical to their effort to win back the White House in November: that Donald Trump created the best economy in American history.

A rip-roaring economy, Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin called it in his speech to delegates on the Make America Wealthy Again-themed night of the four-day gathering.

The massive inflation caused by Joe Biden and Kamala Harris , intoned Florida congressman Byron Donalds.

Tennessee Sen. Marsha Blackburn invoked the low gas prices when Trump left the White House in 2021 compared to now. Bidenomics is a four-letter word, she said.

The talking points began within months of Democrat Joe Biden moving into the White House and remain as untrue now as they were then.
