Look we all know this isn’t entirely his fault, he’s been in office only a month. But the man convinced people to vote for him under the guise that he’d literally fix everything on day one, so he deserves all the shit he gets.
Not that his voters would ever hold him accountable.

““BIDEN INFLATION UP!”
Bruh you are president now NOT Biden
You cant blame other people for inflation when its convenient especially when you JUST enacted tariffs which are in nature inflationary and also want to try to push lower interest rates which also jacks up inflation
Yet MAGA will eat it up

Everyone got mad at Biden because their grocery bills were growing. Well, now they’re going up at a faster rate, and there seems to be a collective “Meh”.
We’re stuck watching headlines straight out of The Onion of spectacular absurdity while prices go up. All while Trump has a near 20% higher approval rating than Biden when he left.
Why is that? He didn’t help Ukraine. He’s actively increasing inflation on purpose. He’s threatened trade wars and military attacks on our allies. He’s planning on illegally annexing Gaza, Canada, and Greenland.
So what else is there? What am I missing?
It’s our desire for a mean-spirited culture war.
The only thing I can see is Americans *want* to see people different than them suffer. Punish the “others”.
The collective organism known as The United States of America has become a cruel and malignant cancer on the planet.

Let me gut federal oversight, apply tariffs on all imports, and force a fed rate cut. I could then cut taxes for my wealthy friends and simply print more money. – Trump inflation plan.
bgbrown519 on
Ignoring the experts, Hoover signed the tariff on June 17, 1930. As the economists predicted, the high tariff proved to be a disaster. Even before its enactment, U.S. trading partners began retaliating by raising their tariff rates, which froze international trade. History will repeat.
Sideshift1427 on
The minute Trump mentioned tariffs companies started buying inventory just in case which caused prices to increase.
theknowing1414 on
And MAGA will believe him. Inflation will probably rise for the next few years and his following will say it was all Biden, even tho as each tariff gets implemented we will see in Live time prices continue to go up.
This is what a cult is. You are so far gone that whatever your leader says you believe. That’s how people start drinking the kool aid.
EmmaLouLove on
I think some Republicans are starting to have the lightbulb moment, or maybe I’m a hopeless optimist. Yes, tariffs is a tax on goods imported from abroad and, yes, it likely causes inflation.
Despite Trump’s claims that his tariffs will be paid by other countries, consumers will be stuck with higher prices. Trump’s tariffs will amount to an average tax increase of more than $800 in 2025. This will hit low- and middle-income Americans particularly hard who are already struggling with the cost of housing and food.
Economists tried warning people before the election but the Trump cult of personality was in full swing and it fell on deaf ears. Higher tariffs cause a reduction in the real GDP and often increase inflation. This, in conjunction, with Trump’s massive cuts to the federal government to pay for his wealthy tax cuts and mass deportation of those who contribute to agriculture, service and construction trades, will most likely take a wrecking ball to our economy. Maybe that is the goal.
In the end, these Billionaires won’t give it a second thought, when GOP fiscal hawks push back on adding to the national debt to pay for more wealthy tax cuts, and they will come after entitlements.

It’s not only Trump Inflation, it’s Republican Inflation.

Republicans are the ones who have the power and the authority to stop this but they’re asleep at the wheel. They’re afraid to get *involved.*

Trump has zero understanding of macroeconomics. He is imposing more and more tariffs which will increase inflation, and he is already whinning that interest rates need to go down as well. Increased interest rates are used to combat inflation but he is too ignorant to comprehend that.

He says our national debt is due to “other nations” taking advantage of us.
While in reality it is clear that 40+ years of tax cuts to the upper class are what has driven deficits.
waffle299 on
To solve a problem, one must first understand the problem.
The problem here is not inflation, but price gouging. Price gouging is caused by a free market failure to disincentivise excess profits, and by collusion, rather than competition, among the businesses involved.
Breaking this involves attacking one of the two free market failures. Either we demonstrate and prosecute a few for the crime of collusion and market manipulation. Or we increase taxes on profits to disincentivise gouging.
But the fundamental tenant of what passes for modern conservative thought is that government action is never a solution, and never warranted.
So this is yet another problem that is unsolvable due to dogma.
