Tariffs are causing price inflation. If you’re hoping for relief from domestic producers...good luck. They raise their prices to take advantage of the price increases of their foreign based competitors.

Don’t want to be an “I told you so...” But I told you so.

Tariffs don't cause inflation unless every import is a monopoly on necessities for which you cannot avoid.

America has had inflation since the 1950s, is this because of tariffs? You've had near zero tariffs for 30+ years, have prices increased since 1992?

 

[Rogue AI]

Don't worry liberals, it is highly unlikely that Trump can beat Biden's record inflation. The Biden legacy shall remain intact.

 

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

Biden brought the Trump-caused inflationary curve and his 14.8% UE rate.

So prices are increasing due to what exactly?

Trump and his policies.

 

[Mac1958]

This, while he's attacking Powell for not dropping interest rates.

Powell just can't do that. Yet. But Trump is spectacularly ignorant about macroeconomics. As we know.

More garbage interpretration .

Blondie and the gang want inflation and have done from Day One .
It is one pre-requisite leading to a fall in dollar value ------ before leaving the Debt system and moving to a global currency backed by Gold .

Catch up slow coach .

Though bigger players like China and Russia will be the main final movers of this huge change .
One which will notionally reduce US debt enormously .

Trumpfy the US saviour but not top of the heap , because that position will be held by Dear Uncle Poooters .
Which ultimately is why they are"pals" .

You're forgetting about magical thinking among The Following which goes like this. trump is infallible and therefore the tariff related inflation isn't his fault. It's someone else's fault, or it isn't really happening, or it's fake news, or it's TDS, or the commies did it. They just want to eat their Corn Flakes, wrap themselves in their blankies, and feel safe in the delusion they didn't waste their vote on a bloviating buffoon who sold them on a pile of shit.

And we told you Biden's inflation was for real and at a 40 year record high - that we are still suffering from! Did you agree then, or like everyone else on the left - ignore it?
AGAIN - the left lost the right to say ANYTHING about inflation - 2 years ago you lied and denied it because it Was Biden.

 

[Mac1958]

Anyone who says the global inflation that exploded less than three months into Biden's term was his doing is flagrantly ignorant and unworthy of either attention or conversation.

 

[Mac1958]

Trump and his policies.

This is the same guy who begged the Fed to drop interest rates and increase QE in 2019 (both would have been inflationary), when the economy was not in recession.

He has no idea what he's talking about.

Trump calls on Fed to cut rates by 1% and urges more quantitative easing

Were you asleep in 2021, 2022 and 2023?
It peaked almost 2 years into his presidency.
Again shows how uninformed the left is

You guys are like the saying...You cross this line, you die. And then repeat it over and over. Many Republican voters are waiting for the prices to drop. We are waiting for the fuel prices to drop. The damage the Progs did cannot be understated. If you come to power again and reverse the energy policy again, you deserve to be drawn and quartered. Oil does not like umps in the road. When it moves smoothy the price is lower. I would hope we are building the pipelines again and not moving y rail so the train owners can become richer and richer.

Ah yes, "global inflation". A wonderful relic from the Covid plandemic. Just as real as "safe ans effective".

We are in the 2's, not the 20% under Biden.

 

[berg80]

And we told you Biden's inflation

Not Biden's inflation. Look up the term.....correlation without causation.

 

[berg80]

If you want to maintain a degree of intellectual consistency, why not credit Biden for inflation coming way down before he left office if you're going to blame him for its rise?

His high numbers are cooked into the books. Giving him a pat on the back for a year of 10% inflation by saying that afterwards the numbers came down is not justified. Americans are still having trouble paying their bills today because of Biden's inflation which will never go away without deflation and deflation is usually a bad thing. The left are loving to say that Trump's inflation is going up but Trump's inflation is only in the 2's, not the overall 20% we had under Biden. In four years, Trump's inflation will total up to around 10%, half of what Biden's was over 4 years.

And you failed to note that it was Trump's dislocation of shipping by mismanaging the Covid response that caused the inflation.

You failed to credit Biden for solving trump's problem.
