    If you turn that graph upside down, Trump is right.

    If you read the graph right to left, Trump is right.

    “There is no vice so mean, so pitiful, so contemptible and he who permits himself to tell a lie once, finds it much easier to do it a second and third time, till at length it becomes habitual, he tells lies without attending to it, and truths without the world’s believing him.” – Thomas Jefferson, 1785

    Ground beef hit a record $5.80 per pound in April, up nearly 50% from five years ago. And the USDA says prices will keep climbing throughout 2025. Not great
    Is this bad? Do we need price controls like he did to Wal Mart and iPhone -

    A good way to stop Trumpflation is to stop tracking inflation.

    US economy added a stronger-than-expected 147,000 jobs in June

    U.S. stocks closed at a record high last week!

    Inflation is at the lowest levels in 4 years. Gasoline prices are at the lowest levels in 4 years. Egg prices (the liberals previous favorite attack line) have plummeted. Three months in a row of year-on-year inflation below 2.5%.

    Defeating Biden's inflation is one of Trump's biggest wins so far in his second term. You know he's doing a good job when the liberals can only bring up aluminum foil prices -- LOL. They're desperate.

    Lighting inflation on fire and opening the border wide were the two big issues that caused voters to kick Democrats out of office. Trump has fixed both in record time.


    GOOD DAY

    Help me with the math.

    The private sector lost 33K jobs in June.

    How many jobs did the public sector net? Do we thank Trump or the courts for those jobs?

    What a difference! The more Trump wins the more we win because he's doing what is right. All of a sudden, I have more money in my 401(k). My business is doing better because of less regulation and lower fuel cost and I guarantee you I'm not the only one every business is being affected in a positive way and everybody that has a 401(k) is seeing some positive results right now

    The stock market did great under biden as well, but I guess you were complaining. Fuel costs are lower because Saudi is flooding the market not because of any trump policy, and there are layoffs in the oil industry. Millions of people are going to lose their healthcare.

    The stock market under Biden was inflation-fueled fake gains. When you increase the dollars in circulation by 60%, then of course dollar-denominated assets will "go up" in price. Because it requires more (less valuable) dollars to buy the same goods. Economics 101.

    Oil prices are down for many reasons, not the least of which is Trump's foreign policy pressure on Saudi Arabia. A signature issue for Trump.

    Health care insurance losses will be minimal, if any. The only lost coverage will included able-bodied people with no dependents who refuse to look for work, people who refuse to fill out customary paperwork, and non-citizens.

    traitor george, stop making up crap.

    ur too ignorant to understand that the POTUS doesn't control the US$ in circulatin. The Fed Does


    btw, while inflation has come down a little, it is still higher thant when Biden left office.​

    The money supply was increased as treasuries were issued to finance record breaking budget deficits under Biden. Biden’s binge spending was out of control — and this had to be paid for by the issuance of debt. This debt was created / issued by the US Government. This expands the money supply. Inflation was and is the predictable result. All avoidable of course.

    unsolicited corroboration from Traitor George that he is willfully ignorant, confused and all mixed up
    once again, for the education of Traitor George, the Fed controls the money supply, not the POTUS


    the Fed is the only entity that has control over the money supply in circulation.
