Inflation wasn't 9% when Trump took over. It was 3%. Biden and Powell are responsible for the improvement, not Trump.
Powell lowered rates before the election because inflation was falling by a lot and the higher rates were no longer necessary.
But you are delusional and love to stick to your baseless conspiracies so you can feel like a victim.
Nope….its Powell.
All he has to do is get over his TDS and drop the rate a quarter-point next month. And then another quarter-point after that.
Dems are willing to hurt - even kill - Americans if it keeps Trump from looking good.

Starting on day one, we will end inflation and make America affordable again, to bring down the prices of all goods.Steady as she goes....Hardly the gloom-n-doom the leftists like yourself predicted.
“Prices will come down. You just watch: They’ll come down, and they’ll come down fast, not only with insurance, with everything.”
“Energy is going to bring us back. That means we’re going down and getting gasoline below $2 a gallon, bring down the price of everything from electricity rates to groceries, airfares, and housing costs.”

Biden's "economy" was built on borrowed money, $2T a year. Trump is re-building the economy the right way.
Ask CBO. The $500b tariff revenue while cutting $1.5T off Biden's bloated budget balances the budget..
As the Fed cuts rates interest cost will come down, The $205b DOGE savings if congress acts, and GDP above 1.8% will all contribute to a surplus.
Biden's economy was a mess. 9.1%inflation. Biden hurt US families, $11,400 a year.
Americans need an extra $11,400 today just to afford the basics, Republican analysis finds
Compared with 2021, the typical household must spend an additional $11,434 annually just to maintain their standard of living, analysis shows.

Trump is stalling the economy, not rebuilding it. Investment is on the sidelines while companies wait to see what happens with his chaotic policies.Biden's "economy" was built on borrowed money, $2T a year. Trump is re-building the economy the right way.

The truth about power is real. Smearing does not change that.

Trump got $17T of foreign investment to build plants in the US, that is rebuilding.
The power grid is being rebuilt to support AI data centers.
Stupid money is still on the sidelines, the stock markets are setting new records daily.
