Trumpflation Rises To 3.8%, As Wages Fall, Gas, Electric, Grocery Prices Soar

[struth]

Measuring inflation in 4 year increments is insane.

20.1 percent over four years is insane

And unprecedented in modern times

 

[Zincwarrior]

They did, hence why we aren’t on a path to 20.1 percent inflation again

Actually we are. PPI just jumped to 6%. A new admin change is on the horizon presently.

We'd be past 20.1 percent by now if Biden/Harris had won in 2024.

Yep inflation was heading back up, when Trump took office

 

[Bad Bob]

If I recollect, the Biden Harris Administration lost the next election.

MAGA morons are desperate. Earlier they were complaining about Obama. LOL

And just think.....
If it weren't for Democrat welfare programs and giving money to foreign countries like it grows on trees we'd have a balanced budget now.

It's very painful to clean up a retarded childs messes.
Ouch.

MAGA morons are statistically impaired. They don't understand trends and often simply regurgitate whatever pablum they are fed on Truth Social.

Obviously the high inflation during the pandemic was global. The trend during Biden's term was downward. During Trump's term it's trending upward and I strongly doubt 2027 will be much better due to his war in Iran.

^Still not as bad as when fuel rose to the highest prices ever and we actually ran out due to Biden Day 1 policies, tardos.

Liar.

Who is this WE you speak of?

Taxpayers, idiot child, US taxpayers. That ballroom has morphed from a $400 million dollar privately funded project to an over 1 billion dollar publicly funded project.

“Child”.
The funds won't actually go toward building the ballroom, but instead would be doled out to the Secret Service and is explicitly meant for "security adjustments and upgrades," within the perimeter fence of the White House "relating to the East Wing Modernization Project," including "above-ground and below-ground security features," according to the legislation

Security features like golden security locks?

Trump has been deceitful from the beginning about this and his other vanity projects. Now he's got us into a war that is also costing US taxpayers billions and hundreds of dollars directly out of our own pockets.

Donald Trump has said he “does not think about Americans’ financial situation” after official figures showed US inflation surged to a three-year high. America’s consumer prices index rose from 3.3pc to 3.8pc last month in a jump that was bigger than analysts had predicted.

It means prices are rising at a faster pace than wages for the first time since Mr. Trump’s inauguration last year, with average hourly earnings up by just 3.6pc in the year to April. Energy prices jumped by 3.8pc in April alone, the labor department said, and surged by 17.9pc compared with a year earlier.

As it stands now, the higher prices are hitting consumers in some of the most visible of places: the gas station, the grocery store and their electric bills.

Gas prices didn’t rise as fast as they did in March (when they shot up by a record 21.2%); however, the 5.4% increase in April was the second-fastest seen since the latter part of 2023.

Electricity prices – moved higher last year because of factors such as demand for data centers, weather and infrastructure costs – now face additional pressures from the global oil and gas shock. In April, prices for electricity rose 2.1%, the fastest monthly increase in more than four years.

Overall food prices rose 0.5% (grocery items were up 0.7%) last month and are up a respective 3.2% and 3.6% from the year before. Meat prices, particularly beef, continued to climb, but so did produce.

Prices of fresh fruits and vegetables, which are often transported by refrigerated diesel trucks, rose by 2.3%, the highest monthly increase for that category since 2010, BLS data shows.

Tomato prices soared by more than 15% for the second month in a row.

And just to think. Those diesel prices in California where most of those goods, and produce are trucked out of will only get much worse, just in time for summer vacation, right along with gas prices. While his tech bros steadily jack up electric bills with their data centers. But since ol demented 47, the pedo in chief, isn't thinking about your financial situation, it really doesn't matter. To him.

Have fun at the beach!

During Trump's campaign, I and most of my customers were behind Trump. We donated. We bought MAGA junk. We pinned fliers on local bulletin boards.

Today, I only know of ONE idiot who still supports that dull-minded oaf, Donald Trump. He still believes in "trusting the plan." What "effing" plan is he trusting? The outright destruction of the USA?

 

[MayorQuimby]

I find this especially insulting after his big beautiful bill that saw the cutting of taxes for the super-rich. And some people still support Trump (just because he is not a Dem). Now, don't get me wrong, I hate Dems badly, but I really wish people would realize that Trump is not their friend. He does not care about Americans, he is part of the Deep State, he is a part of the Swamp he says he's gonna drain but never will because the Swamp is full of his friends.

I am not defending the Democrats, however, I just want to say that this isn't a Dem v. Republican issue. Both of them spend recklessly and when budget inevitably doesn't balance, they just borrow. Why should they care, it's not a loan that they would personally have to pay back. When they borrow money, they can use that money to buy favors and support and reward cronies. Meanwhile the cost of servicing the debt is born by regular Americans.
