Former President Donald Trump has expressed strong disagreement with the recent move by Moody’s Investors Service to downgrade the credit outlook of the United States. According to a statement released by the White House, Trump believes the downgrade does not accurately reflect the economic realities or potential of the country.
Moody’s decision to lower the U.S. credit outlook from “stable” to “negative” has stirred significant debate in political and financial circles. The agency cited concerns about rising debt levels, political dysfunction in Congress, and long-term fiscal challenges. However, Trump reportedly views the downgrade as politically motivated and argues that America’s economy remains resilient, with the capacity to overcome these challenges through proper leadership and policy reform.
As the only major credit rating agency still assigning the U.S. a top-tier AAA rating, Moody’s shift has drawn attention to the ongoing debate over fiscal responsibility, government spending, and the future direction of economic policy.
Trump’s disagreement signals not only his dissatisfaction with the rating agency’s decision but also underscores the broader political divide over the state of the U.S. economy and how best to address its long-term financial health.
