Remember That "Affordability Crisis" Under Trump?

[Independent thinker]

Well, now, CNN is admitting that prices have actually been in check under Trump all along. Add to that the fact that we have had record Black Friday and Cyber Monday Sales, even though everything is so "unaffordable" and Americans have to stand in soup lines. But, CNN is warning us that that could possiblly all end next July.

When President Donald Trump introduced his “Liberation Day” tariffs in April, many economists predicted Americans would soon experience massive price increases. While inflation has ticked up in the eight months that passed, it’s been nowhere near levels initially projected.

You're so dumb. There is a list of why prices haven't gone up as much as they are going to. But there is no escaping it.

Either you are asking American corporations to make 10-30% less profits or and eat the price increases or you must know that price increases are coming next year. They've already arrived but WORSE.

You did hear the price of turkey doubled? But major grocery stores ate the price increase. They won't do that every year.

Xmas decorations up 30%.

I know, you don't have to buy it. But you do have to buy a new washing machine or stove or fridge when yours goes.

Stop gaslighting us.

Wowsa. My local grocery gave turkeys away free. I got one.

The fact is, democrats lie. They will stand in front of you and say up is down. They will tell you gas prices are up when you know what you pay. The whole of Thanksgiving dinner was down from last year. People know. Brian Cole is black no matter how many times Jake Tapper says he's white. There was never a Kill them all order for the narco boats and democrats are holding all the Epstein files they want released.

I guess that's why only 26% of Americans say the economy is doing well.

Most Americans continue to rate the U.S. economy negatively as partisan gap widens

Nearly three-in-four U.S. adults (74%) say economic conditions are only fair or poor, up slightly from 72% in January 2024.

You're just good at making bullshit excuse.

We were told back in Jan. when Trump sworn in that prices would go out of control because of tariffs. Hasn't happened.

Turkey was selling for $0.35 a pound. Spareribs were selling for $1.97 a pound. Spending smashed all previous records during Thanksgiving. The common leftist excuse is "well yeah, people tend to spend during this time". How can this be if we were told by the media that prices would double or triple from month after month and for sure the holidays will be gloomy?

You need to ask for a refund for your cult membership dues. It ain't helping you.

The media has been hyping up how bad Americans feel about the economy while their next story is record Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales.

How can you say that when Trump lies constantly unchecked right in front of our eyes.

How can you say that when the Pentagon won't let any reporters in unless they promise to only report news the PENTAGON approves of? That's not a free press. Now guess who's in the press corps? Matt Goetz! Pedo implanted. You can't make this shit up.

Pete Hegseth won't let us, his employers see his phone. How ******* dare he? He works for us right? Let's see what's in that phone *****!

United States Inflation Rate:

 

[g5000]

Food prices rose faster than overall inflation. The CPI for all food increased 0.4 percent from July 2025 to August 2025. Food prices in August 2025 were 3.2 percent higher than in August 2024.

Food Price Outlook - Summary Findings | Economic Research Service

ERS research and reporting of the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for food contributes to an understanding of which food categories experience substantial price changes, how consumers spend their incomes on food, and how and why prices change.

Democrats had a four year total inflation rate of just under 20% while they were in charge.

You can't fool people who pay the bills, dipshits. They know life is getting less and less affordable.

Trump is telling you gas is two dollars and food is cheaper. Are you so ******* stoned on crack you bleev him? How far down the rabbit hole are you willing to commit to your cult?

Even billionaires are feeling the pinch, as it costs more to bribe a president than it used to. You gotta buy his crypto. You gotta gift him an airplane. You gotta give him a significant piece of your company. You have to make pilgramages to the Oval Office to kiss if fat, flabby ass...

And?

This makes you feel better about Trumpflation, does it?

The chart reflects Bidens inflation not Trumps. Under Trump many costs have come down wages are up and the tax cuts will make everything even more affordable.

Don't gaslight us. What you want us to do is forget you got us worked up over high prices last year and you ran on lowering prices. Now what you fools are seeing is Trump was bullshitting. You forgive him when he does it time and time again.

For 10 plus years Trump has been promising us in 2 weeks he's going to release his replacement for Obamacare. Well, he has till the end of January

Red states like West Virginia, Wyoming, Tennessee, Texas, Mississippi, South Carolina, Alabama, North Dakota, and South Dakota face some of the most severe potential healthcare cost hikes, especially for those relying on Affordable Care Act (ACA) subsidies, with some facing premium increases over 200-300% if subsidies lapse, largely due to non-expansion of Medicaid and high reliance on federal support.

Um, dipshit? That chart reflects all the way through 2025. See that massive spike on the right? That's the Trump effect.

Nice try.

You clearly don't pay the bills in your house. Do your mother a favor and turn the lights off in the basement when you leave the house.

 

[Independent thinker]

And?

This makes you feel better about Trumpflation, does it?

What Trumpflation? Less than 3%. Democrats under Biden never had less than 3%. And, core inflation is just like 2.1%. Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales hit records. Consumer sentiment is up. What's up with all of your lies?
