Donald Trump would prefer that voters not worry about inflation. But it’s hard for them to ignore.
Filling up a basic Ford F-150 truck now costs about $100, up $30 from a year ago. Mortgage rates have jumped to levels that have depressed home sales. And for the past 12 months, consumer prices have risen faster than paychecks, making the average family poorer.
One week before midterm elections that will serve as a referendum on his second term, Trump is struggling to deliver on his campaign promise to bring down costs, even as he insists the country has entered an economic “golden age.” The same frustration that powered his comeback two years ago could now cost Republicans control of Congress.
He didn’t fail to stop shit. He exacerbated the problem intentionally to enrich himself and his cronies.
Failed to stop? He purposefully exacerbated it for the benefit of himself & the rest of Epstein class.
Failed to stop?
Is the writer fuckin stupid?
He CAUSED most of the current US inflation that the previous admin had made progress on getting under control.
Can we at least be accurate with the fucking news.
We’re trying to find the guy who introduced tariffs and started a war with Iran.
Failed!? He fucking made it worse. ON PURPOSE!!!
He didn’t stop inflation because he didn’t try to stop inflation. He continues to actively sabotage the economy so he and his minions can profit.
So basically they will get fu*ked only because of gas price?
Nothing about foreign policy, nothing about Trump sucking toes of bibi & pootin, nothing about US citizen getting shot & murdered by ICE? Nothing about massive corruption?
And… Ah yeah I forgot, what about the Epstrump files?
Delusion can survive a lot of things, but losing everything can help.
May. It’s sad that it’s a “May” and not a “Will” in the first place.
Yup, and even if there is a MASSIVE blue wave, the orange pedo and all his propaganda outlets will spend the next 2 years blaming EVERYTHING on Dems…and 2028 will be 2024 all over agin
There will be a massive blue wave, but Republicans aren’t simply letting themselves be Constitutionally and democratically removed from power. They’re not leaving or losing, they know this is their last stand and will do anything to keep power. They’ve said they will cheat, not accept results, and essentially coup the government when they lose.
I just saw a bunch of YouTube vids about they’ve already filed motions to toss out ballots in seeing states, and now people in TXs are saying their votes were flipped on machines similar to TN.
The next 2 weeks are gonna be vicious
Yep, and they’re already deploying ICE to polling places. I just saw an example in Florida, where they “had to pull someone over and it happened to be a few feet away from a polling place” and they “happened to stay there for a long time”.
Buckle up, stock up on necessary items for food, water, and safety, and VOTE.
Also please do some phone banks to get others to vote too. Environmental Voter Project is a great organization that I’ve done for the last few weeks.
It’s not hard at all, each session is only an hour, and you make calls at your own pace. It feels great to actually get people out to vote, because instead of just having a 1x impact by casting your own vote, you could have a 100x impact if you encourage 100 people to vote (which isn’t hard, you can hit 100 in like 3 one hour sessions). This legitimately makes a difference in elections, take a look at their results.
Yeah, I think this will be the outcome as well, though I don’t think the blue wave will be as big as many seem to believe.
Biden already stopped inflation - Trump only needed to leave things alone long enough for the numbers to stabilize.
This is new inflation directly caused by Trump
Failure implies that he tried.
He isn’t “struggling to deliver on his campaign promise to bring down costs.” He has no intention of doing that. He never had any intention of doing that.
And by “golden age” he means “gilded age.” There’s a big difference.
You don’t understand he made billions, so everything is fine. Now vote for him again, he will make more billions.
The Republicans have been the party of inflation since the Nixon Shock. If the money in your pocket is dissolving, then you’re encouraged to invest in businesses to save for retirement. Then once you’re dependent on those investments, you’ll defend them.
They want every American drowning in debt. They want us living paycheck to paycheck. They want us to fail and then call us lazy, irresponsible, and financially illiterate. The purpose of a system is what it does.
No the system can certainly behave in a way that was not its intended purpose.
Ostensibly capitalism is about trade and labor and resource distribution.
De facto it is a vehicle for wealth concentration and creating an advanced feudal state.
Ostensibly it isn’t, look it up on Wikipedia.
There’s benefit of the doubt, and then there’s gullibility.
Trump failed to stop inflation.
Trump actively fueled inflation.
Despite his lies during the campaign, everything he did made inflation much worse than if he had done nothing at all.
I keep seeing these articles and can’t help but think that they said this about Republicans a lot right before they corrupted elections and won anyway.
Its all theater to distract and placate
