Pic Of The Moment: Trump: Inflation Is Good, Actually

[EarlG]

Hi-res version

"We're going to get the prices down. We have to get them down. It's too much."

"Grocery prices are going down ... Inflation has been defeated."

"I love it ... You know what I really love? I love the inflation."

Current U.S. Inflation Rates (2000-2026)

1. Inflation is good for Trump

The "value" of all his assets goes up and he can leverage that to borrow more.

OPM - other people's money.

[kentuck]

9. Not everyone loses with inflation.

Trump probably does like inflation, actually.

[PhilG]

2. Mid-Terms!

There should be billboards in every city & town with this quote "I love the inflation". Now until November.

What an ass.

[Jarqui]

6. Pic of the Moment is a great billboard ... nt

[Johonny]

3. Biden spent whole term fixing Covid disaster

Which included high inflation. And he did fix it and the American people didn't reward him at all.

Trump spending whole term creating one future/current disaster after another.

It's almost like the American people deserve it.

[drray23]

8. Indeed. Its the same pattern over and over

Not just Biden and Trump. Republicans tank the economy enacting huge tax cuts to rich people , the next democrat that is elected spend a significant fraction of their term to fix it and does not get rewarded. The stupid electorate falls for it every time.

Once we take back the presidency in 2029, I already know what will happen. The republicans will again scream that deficits matter and we should just cut social programs to fix it.

Sadly, we have enough uninformed or brain washed people in the country that it works ( almost) every time.

What we really need is at least four consecutive presidential terms and congressional control all along to have a chance to fix the Country.

4. Not even Trump is enjoying this reality. He's such a joyless person it's not possible for him to extract and ounce of

joy from hurting everyone else. Even though that appears to be his goal.

[SamuelAdams]

5. Maybe he thinks it's good because the number keeps getting bigger.

It would be nice if Americans stopped electing Republicans who create all these messes. Many Americans weren't born the last time a recession started under a Democrat. Almost no one was born the last time a Republican who served a full term didn't have a recession begin on his watch.

7. Can't buy computers, gas or fast food under the worst president ever!

And yes, the worst president ever is Donald Trump, that guy who got booed mercilessly at Madison Square Garden.

[MadameButterfly]

10. Call me superstitious but I think Trump's presence at the game

could be why we didn't see a miraculous Knicks rebound, like we've become used to before and after.

[Dr. T]

11. Does anyone here know how the conservative Repuglican

propaganda machine is spinning this? Or is it just the sound of crickets in the bubble? Lie through ommision. I'm guessing that my unfriendly local MAGAts are blissfully unaware.

[intrepidity]

19. "People are spending more, that's a good thing"

"Means the economy is good! Consumer confidence is high, credit card use is through the roof!"

"Prices go up because there is so much demand, see?" /probably

[Dr. T]

20. You're probably right.

And the idiots who buy that line of reasoning are proud to say their pickup truck now holds $200 worth of gas.

[Lokee11]

12. Please, for the love of all that is good in this world -

SHUT THE FUCK UP!

You Orange piece of 💩

Seriously -

[lame54]

13. I love the demise of the U.S.A....

Four more years
Four more years

[malaise]

14. Stark raving mad

That is all

[IronLionZion]

15. I really love the MAGA whiplash excuses

as they try to blame it on anyone or anything else.

[Jansen]

16. It's a bubble.

His whole life is a closed-loop logic bubble. Now he resides at the top of a larger closed-loop, but still in his bubble.

[Aussie105]

17. Nothing like consistent leadership and consistent messaging!

Not much of that around in the good ol' USA at the moment.

Prices go up, people spend more on essentials because they have no choice, and the story from the WH is . . . spending is up, the economy is doing great!

If this was a fictional movie, the script writer who wrote that line of illogical reasoning would be fired on the spot!

[yellowcanine]

18. "I love the inflation. And the blacks!"

“Ani in particular, inflated blacks.”
