This is a great example of how you and Trump don't understand what causes inflation. And Trump wants to cause inflation again just like he did the last time he was President. Look at him now blaming the Feds for not going along:

Trump railed against Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell on Thursday, saying his "termination cannot come fast enough!” due to Powell refusing to cut interest rates.

Powell warning a day earlier that Trump’s tariffs are going to cause higher inflation and slower growth. The Federal Reserve needs to hold back on cutting rates until it has a better understanding of Trump’s policies, he said.

Trump doesn't understand. He caused inflation the first time he was President and now he wants to do it again? No sir.

of course we do, that's why we told you not to vote for Xiden and the Dems that caused groceries to increase by 25 percent in four years and make a majority of Americans worse off.

And so now Trump's going to cause inflation again like he did the last time he was president?

Don't you remember who was president in mid 2020?

I kept telling you this but you would not listen

Ron DeSantis and Chris Christie Call Out Trump for Adding to Federal Debt​

"He owes it to you to defend his record where they added $7.8 trillion to the debt that set the stage for the inflation that we have."​

The country’s current “inflationary spiral” can also be traced back to COVID-19, Maher said, describing the trillions of dollars the government issued throughout the pandemic. This, he noted, should not be pinned on President Joe Biden, but his predecessor, former President Donald Trump.

Who you gonna blame inflation on this time? Powell? Illegals? Democrats?

Last time Trump was President, Jan of 2021 it was 1.4 percent. Since taking office this Jan, it has dropped from 3.0 to 2.4 in March

So, your facts are wrong. Current US Inflation Rates: 2000-2025

The last time the stock market tanked was mid 2020. Trump was President. That was the start of the mess Trump handed Biden. No?

 

[dudmuck]

of course we do, that's why we told you not to vote for Xiden and the Dems that caused groceries to increase by 25 percent in four years and make a majority of Americans worse off.

If Trump lied about lowering prices on day one, maybe he's also lying about Biden. Why should we believe someone who can't stop lying?

I think Bill Maher is way smarter than you

Yea because Biden fixed inflation. Inflation was coming down when Biden was president.

Now it's going to go up because of what Trump has done. Next month is going to be horrible. So is June. Buckle up.

Trump did nothing to lower inflation. Nothing.

Remember you guys tried to blame Biden for anything that happened this month. You tried to suggest Biden still owns the economy we have right now. Normally that would be true if it weren't for all the historic bad moves Trump has made since getting back into office. Tariffs, executive orders.

inflation increased while xiden was inflation, when he took office in Jan 2021, it was 1.4 percent, when he left office it was 3.0 percednt and it peaked during his admin at 9.1 percent

Why do you lie? Current US Inflation Rates: 2000-2025

and as the rates show, it's actually come down since Trump took office. You seem to lie often, about simple, easily to disprove stuff....why is that? Why does lying come so easy to you?

U.S. consumer confidence plunged for the fourth consecutive month in early April, the University of Michigan said on Friday.

Why it matters: President Trump's tariff policies crushed the economic optimism that prevailed after the presidential election. Now consumers — including Republicans — fear inflation will skyrocket and the economy will weaken, expectations that economists say could be self-fulfilling.

By the numbers: Consumer sentiment plunged 11% from March, with "pervasive and unanimous" declines across political parties, age, income, education and geographic region, according to the release.

• Inflation expectations in the year ahead surged to 6.7% from 5% this month, the highest reading since 1981. All political parties reported higher inflation expectations, the University of Michigan said.

Things are going very well. According to convicted felon 47.

So how are those 401(k)s looking everybody?

[jbrownson0831]

[jbrownson0831]

The magat brain. It is a sight to behold, isn't it?

Yes prices were already coming down before trump got into office. Not because of him.

And the stock market when it went up did not go up because he won. That was a lie. It went up because there was a clear winner. The stock market doesn't like uncertainty like challenged elections. Or on again off again trade wars.

You won't be able to escape what happens next month. A month ago Trump disrupted the supply chain and that's going to affect us in May and June. Well, you'll see.

What are you going to say then when shelves are empty? I'm sure you'll come up with something.

The prices have been coming down since he took office. Under Xiden they went up.

Since Trump took office he did what he said he would do, that includes that fact the he has countries begging for new trade deals. Trump is about Main Street, not your rich donor class on Wall Street that owns the Demafacist party.

But their volume is turned up to 11.

As I write this, it was just announced that a trade/tariff deal was agreed to by India.
That's another feather in the hat for Trump.
