Trump Promise = "I will bring down inflation"

[Lesh]

Oil products are very widely used so if they were totally to blame, inflation now would be over 10 percent and not at 3 percent which it now is.

Wrong again (continuing your sad streak)

Inflation is over 4%

 

[Robert W]

What?

Inflation was stuck around where he inherited it from Biden

Well until he decided to screw the pooch by attacking Iran

It just spiked

What kind of job do you have?

 

[Lesh]

What kind of job do you have?

None of your business.

 

[Robert W]

Well, bad news. Annualized inflation has jumped to over 10 percent since Trump's war and energy crisis began.

 

[Robert W]

What kind of job do you have?

Fine with me you refuse to validate your claims.

And you suck at economics since the last rate of inflation is 3.3%

Wrong again (continuing your sad streak)

Inflation is over 4%

Wrong.

Beef prices under Trump at an all-time-high:

Argentina paid the USA back.

Argentina paid the us back.

They paid $20 Billion. Not the full $40 Billion.

Year-over-year inflation is 3.3% (up nearly a point just from last month). That's because that includes eleven months of data that precede the start of Trump's war and energy crisis.

You said "inflation now would be over 10%" - inflation now (i.e., the annualized current rate of inflation, not year-over-year inflation figures that that are 11/12 weighted to lower inflation months) is over 10%.

If you mean year-over-year inflation would now be over 10%, that would imply price growth in the last month that vastly exceeds an annualized inflation rate of 10%. So I guess in that respect things could be worse.

Apparently I misread a report. Unlike you I own my mistakes

It is currently 3.3%

Up an entire point from February

Not something to brag about

All they borrowed was $20 billion.

I correct you. You had to admit it, I gave you proof, which you never do.

Stop lying. I always provide proof if challenged and often when not

Actually the 40 billion was reduced to 20 billion and only 2.5 B was “utilized” which is what was paid back with interest

Labor wages do not cause inflation.

I had seen other reports where inflation did go sky high over oil prices, and the inflation rose to around 10 percent thanks to oil prices. But now as I proved it is 3.3% as the professionals rate it. Actually, it rose .9 percent due to the war.

Current U.S. Inflation Rates (2000-2026)​

The annual inflation rate in the United States was 3.3% for the 12 months ending March, up from 2.4% previously, according to U.S. Labor Department data released April 10, 2026. The next update is scheduled for May 12 at 8:30 a.m. ET and will cover the 12 months ending April.

We will find out. A month is not a year. I believe you are educated enough to know that.

 

[Robert W]

Well, bad news. Annualized inflation has jumped to over 10 percent since Trump's war and energy crisis began.

We will learn in a year what annualized inflation will be in the future.

Why compare a month to a future uear?
