    This does not negate @FranchiseBlade 's comment that the U.S. is doing better than the rest of the world. I know English isn't your first language, but your reading comprehension sucks.

    Reply to the other later, but on this one—this isn't true.

    Check both the historical and recent records of how employment and the economy fare under 'left' and 'right' POTUS.

    Trump's policies will tank the economy. He wants to impose a 10% across-the-board tariff (not just on China, but on import from everyone). That's going to drive up inflation. He also wants to carry out mass deportations, which will hurt the economy and drive up inflation drastically.

    I may or may not agree with his protectionist approach, but no, this is not what causes inflation.

    Printing money and running the government into more and more debt by government overspending is what causes inflation.

    Pandemic caused the inflation to go up. Supply exceeds demands bc folks who are pent up are now free to spend. War in Ukraine is another factor, where most if not all western country imposed sancitions on russian oil.

    U look up too much conservative garbage opinions tweets that u end up repeating their talking points to spread disinformation.

    A lot of folks on the right dont even believe that covid is a thing and it's lingering impact on the global economy so of course sleepy biden is the cause of everything. Such low effort thinking.

    When Trump points at you, you turn black. Note to self: you need to keep your distance with Trump.

    Go look at the historical data on which side drives up the debt more between 'left' and 'right' POTUS. It's not even close.

    Both sides print money. There is no such thing as a fiscally conservative party.

    The tariffs and mass deportations will drive up inflation and tank the economy. We have historical data showing that tariffs drive up prices. We also have historical data showing that restraining/removing labor drives up prices.

    Here is an inflation hot take for you all:

    Inflation is a result of globalization decoupling beginning around 2018 with the trade wars between the US and China. Unfortunately, China has a demographic issue due to miscounting its population, and it is not able to be the world’s factory as it was 2010 to 2015 in the post-COVID. As a result, everything is more expensive, and there are not enough skilled labor globally to fill in the voids. Add in the energy issues in Central Europe stemming from Russia invading Ukraine hamstringing the Germany industrial sector, and it’s compounding the shortage. As a result everything is worse for everyone all at the same time.

    Here's a hotter take.

    The federal reserve printed a ****ton of money in the wake of covid.

    It's no singular person or party's fault.

    Lack of reading comprehension is a requirement to be a Republican.
    Lack of logical reasoning is another.

    As long as you lack those two and can copy/paste tweets all day, YOU'RE IN!

    Tariffs are inflationary. It automatically increases the price of a good. To pretend they are not, is absolutely ridiculous.

    Government overspending does also contribute to inflation. Something Trump did plenty while in office and would do plenty more of if re-elected. Trump is the opposite of a deficit hawk. He is inflation.
