Brought to you by 5 stimulus packages, 3 by Trump and 2 by Biden, that injected Trillions of dollars into the economy and caused massive inflation. The increase in lower cost imports were an attempt by consumers to blunt the effects of that inflation.
btt
Trump opposed Free Trade, killed NAFTA and hung trade tariffs on China, Canada and other cheating nations all to the shrieks and screams of Neocons, Biden Republicans and McConnell suck ups.
A strong dollar will do that...
Tariffs and inflation brought on by stimulus are two separate issues. After the tariffs were imposed, the trade deficit actually was reduced from about $70 Billion to $40 Billion by May of 2020. But after Trump and biden started sending stimulus money directly to citizens, inflation took off like a bat out of Hell. As inflation rose, customers turned to lower cost imports to reduce the impact of inflation. From May 2020 to April 2022, the deficit went from $40 Billion to $109.8 Billion.
Sorry, Biden Boy, the economy was rock solid under Trump. Inflation was non-existent. Now go sell your GOPe trash elsewhere. We aren’t buying your wars, your hack politicians or anti-American Free Trade.
You don't start pumping $8 Trillion into the economy on Tuesday and have the effects show up on Thursday. There is a lag of 6 to 12 months. The Trump part of the stimulus occurred in his last year in office. And on the way out the door he was still working on package #3. Complain about the Uniparty if you want, but Trump played his part here.
Shoo Never Trump.
Don’t feel bad that you don’t get it. This stuff can be difficult.
Only a Biden Republican would try and sell Trump as the cause of Biden’s inflation.
Trump’s not the sole cause, they share responsibility. 35% Trump, 65% Biden I’d say.
