Trump Policies Will Raise Inflation

[Missouri_Mike]

Quick question. At the end of Trump’s term, were there any illegal aliens in the US?

There weren’t the 10 or 12 or 20 million there are now.

 

[Lesh]

There weren’t the 10 or 12 or 20 million there are now.

There sure were. There was 12 million

 

[Missouri_Mike]

There sure were. There was 12 million

So now there’s 40?

 

[Lesh]

So now there’s 40?

Nope. Around 16 million

You don't really believe that, do you, Lesh? You should have seen a huge price drop in food and everything else.
The government warps the numbers by simply removing things like food and energy out of their equations.

Trump didn’t deport all the illegal immigrants in his first term like he said he would. He also didn’t put massive tariffs on everyone like he said he would.

It didn’t go up in his first term because he didn’t fulfill his campaign promises.

All because Nancy Pelosi and Xhuck Schumer fought against his every proposal and change for the good of America.

Inflation in 2019 was 2.3%. Right where it is now

Current U.S. Inflation Rates: 2000-2026

The annual inflation rate in the United States was 2.4% for the 12 months ending January, down from 2.7% previously, according to U.S. Labor Department data released February 13, 2026. The next update is scheduled for March 11 at 8:30 a.m. ET and will cover the 12 months ending February. Below...

The inflation rate did drop to 1.5% in February 2019 and reached a high of 9.1% under Joe Biden, in June 2022. It remained high all throughout 2022. And that was two years after the pandemic ended.

The average inflation rate for 2019 was 1.8%. The average rate for 2024 has not been calculated yet. But if you average the rates from January to the present, the 2024 average inflation rate for 2024 so far is 3.03%.

Now which is higher inflation? 1.8% or 3.03%?

You don’t have to average the inflation rates for the year. The published inflation rate of 2.4% is year over year. It already takes into account everything that’s happened in the last 12 months.

Do you not understand what a yearly average is? You total up the monthly rates and divide it by the number of months. We don't know the 2024 yearly average inflation rate yet because the numbers for October, November, and December haven't been released yet.

The question is why you think a yearly average is relevant? If you are averaging with January 2024, then you’re averaging in all of 2023 too.

The yearly average is not particularly relevant when the statistic for inflation is typically year over year. A year over year rate doesn’t need to be averaged to tell you what inflation was over the last year. You’re just screwing with the numbers because you want it to be higher.

A yearly average is very relevant because it's an indicator of a president's success or failure. And as far as Biden's economy, it's been shit.

What a childish answer with no actual rationale. The question is why would you average the months over the last year and not just use the year over year rate?

Biden was handed a grenade with no pin. The only question is how much damage it was going to do.

Trump was handed a highly functional, growing economy with low inflation. The only question was how much was he going to screw it up.

I provided a link jackass. Inflation in 2019 was 2.3%

Exactly what we have now

The inflation is the month of December of 2019 was 2.3%. This is only October, and the 2024 average yearly rate of inflation has not been calculated.

The average yearly inflation rate for 2019 was 1.8%, as opposed to Biden's average yearly inflation rates of 4.7%, 8.0%, and 4.1%.

How is it you can't comprehend that?

[log cabin republican]

No they won't.

 

[beagle9]

Trump policies didn't kick it up at all for his four years and yet the economy was booming, historic lows for unemployment in almost all demographics, millions who hadn't had a decent job for years due to Obama policies could work at good full time jobs with benefits again.

He's proposing little that is different this time. No reason to think inflation will be a problem.

It's all a smoke screen.. They hate Trump for social and cultural reason's. They could give a chit less about the economy. They proved that in the last 3.3/4 year's.

They hate him for selfish reason's, and they were willing to eat chit if they have too, and they couldn't give a dam if any of the rest of the country is forced too eat chit just as long as they get their damned childish irresponsible way.

Didn't gain in that type of number on his watch.

They came before and they came after in those big numbers. Proof the Democrat's are thee worst.
