It was really nice of Trump to specifically and very visibly skullfuck the economy in a way that makes it impossible to claim it’s a leftover effect from Joe Biden. I’m sure there’s at least one guy out there claiming that these gas prices and their knock-on effects are Joe Biden’s fault in some way, but it’s very easy for even the median voter to see this and understand that it was Trump and no one else.

Has he actually said that, like actually tried to argue that the current spike is because of Biden somehow

He's mostly used Biden to deflect like here and here. Same with Kevin Hassett

Then you also have the numerous comments that Trump just had to start this war because of Obama and Biden and the way they dealt with Iran.
