Trump touts affordability while inflation rages across America on everything from food to furniture to cars

The problem for the Administration is that while the RATE of inflation has slowed down, levels were extremely elevated going into last year's election and voters' expectations, reasonable or not, were that prices would not merely go up slower but flatten or even decline.

Re-setting trade and supply issues with China are important objectives, but their benefits will be medium- to long-term. It is to President Trump's credit that they are at last being attacked.

While this weeks' election results were awful, a lot can change in a year. If there's no improvement, the mid-terms will be tough.

The Post’s headline is over-dramatic, as is typical of everything they publish. Inflation persists in being problematic, but “raging” is, of course, an exaggeration.

The Federal Reserve has TDS.

The Trump hating Murdoch kids have taken control of the NYP. It is trash now.

Washington Post in 2022 when inflation was over 8%, more than TWICE today:

2022

It’s not Biden’s fault.

2024, https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2024/11/14/inflation-american-rescue-plan-covid/

It’s under control and Biden did all he can to fix it.

It’s nice to have the libtard media basically practice apologetics (for them this is religious) for one.

Now inflation is at 3.0%, it’s a problem, and Trump is to blame.

Trump is right to focus on energy. When oil goes down all prices go down. The Post is a tabloid run by aussie trash. They have some good columnists but that’s it.

See above. Not sure which is correct.

I was listening to reports from known Conservative sources Trump got a wakeup call and his economic plan was off the rails...If the SCOTUS rules against him on the tariffs and its looking more like they will, his duck is cooked.

Wait until the dumbasses at the New Yawk “media” start blaming all of Hans Gruber Dummani’s Screwups on Trump. All the Muzzie mammies won’t be able to buy food for their kids or their goats.

Frankly, inflation tamed to acceptable level.
There will always be an inflation, because of gov wants it that way.
Inflation is the least of my worries right now.
Rise of terror, communism, crime and illicit drugs are.
Government deficit is probably the most scariest thing right now. And thinking how Schumer fights to rise it by another trillion or two!

[FlingWingFlyer]

Trump doesn’t set the prices for those things. Neither did Joe Pedo. The CEOs do that.

Price of eggs has come down - a lot

This kind of screed (probably intentionally) misses the point. If companies find their customers will pay the higher prices for their products that they've gotten used to in the post-Covid era, they're not going to be super-eager to lower them to pre-Covid levels. They price their products based on their performance in the market. The President -- any President -- has nothing to do with this, nor should he.

[Nervous Tick]

And if Trump falters or fails, you orgasm. Right?

sick POS

Biden inflation hit as high as 9 %. We are at 3% now.

This is booschidt. I don’t see any illegal aliens going home because they can’t afford the “American Dream Better Life” here. They are all happier than pigs in crap with the financial situation here. It’s only the self-unemployed Americans who are bitching because they have no money and have to riot for Soros and the Muzzies to have the dough to buy cat food.

If the SCOTUS rules against his blanket tariffs (by country not by product) then maybe PDJT will see the light and target specific products like steel, aluminum, chips/IC’s, etc.. (Not bananas, coffee and cocoa/chocolate). Only widespread “blanket tariff” country should be China, and even then it would take a 200%-300% tariff to overcome cheap labor and bring manufacturing back to the USA in any volume. Waiting years to spin up manufacturing for “Made in the USA” cheapo Christmas lights (at 3x the price) just not a great idea.

My experience shopping is that prices are relatively stagnant. They were a bit higher after jan 21 2025 (was Joe Autopen legacy, and fear of what Trump was gonna’ do), but prices are stable to lower for me buying the same stuff. Dishonest reporting.

[Leaning Right]

I don’t know about elsewhere. But grocery prices are up in my neck of the woods. It’s very noticeable. If that’s due to Trump’s tariffs, I’m okay with that. In the long run, I think tariffs will be good for this country.

But here’s the thing. Trump wants the Fed to lower interest rates. That will do nothing to rein in the current inflation. Something gotta give here.

And whatever that is, it won’t help Republican chances in the 2026 midterms.

NYP. It is trash now...
