Paid the Trump tax on underwear today

Biden inflation 5.9% annually - good

 

Trump inflation 2.7% -bad

 

Liberals are bad at math. 


Biden didn't cause the WORLDWIDE post-covid inflation.

 

Calling it "Biden inflation" is like calling a natural disaster a "Biden earthquake" or a "Biden hurricane."

 

The issue here isn't overall inflation anyway. It's the pointless and destructive tax that American consumers are paying so that Trump can decorate his golden throne room.

 

Inflation is relatively low because of the horrible effect Trumpiffs have had on the economy.

 

Trumpers are bad at facts, and terrible at identifying causation.

Well, perhaps that is true; but, your ignorance between correlation and causation is undoubtedly true.  


BAD THING! WHO PREZIDUNT?

 

The above brilliant MAGA logic only applies if the President in question is a Democrat. If he's Trump:

 

BAD THING! WHO PREZIDUNT BEFORE?

 

They reason like children.

As to Tom's point, the inflation that occurred post pandemic was a worldwide event nothing Joe Biden did. In fact, he managed it better than almost any other developed country in the world.

 

Trump's inflation is the result of his illegal tarrifs. Futhermore job growth is at zero under Trump, wages are stagnant and unemployment is at a 4 year high. Under Trump consumers don't have opportunities for better jobs or wage growth to offset inflation and that is a key distinction. 

Remember when biden's genius team said inflation was transitory

 

Trump's inflation is the result of his illegal tarrifs...

Inflation is a full point below the country's historic average.

 

 Futhermore job growth is at zero under Trump,

True but GDP is over 4%

 

 wages are stagnant and unemployment is at a 4 year high. Under Trump consumers don't have opportunities for better jobs or wage growth

 

Incorrect wage growth is 3.5% versus 2.7% inflation

 

With that as a backdrop, Mercer published the results of its most recent QuickPulse U.S. Compensation Planning SurveyOpen in a new tab on Sept. 3. The global consulting firm tabbed 2026 average pay increase budgets at … 3.5%, including 3.3% for merit increases. The report also put 2025 average actual total pay increases at 3.5%, including 3.1% for merit bumps. The other five published survey reports, combined, put this year’s average actual total raises at 3.6%

Stupid Tom, the Turdiffs have increased consumer goods' prices dramatically, so whatever inflation may be, it would have been lower without Trump. The "historical average" is just another irrelevant Tom-stat.

 

Stupid Tom.

 

Job growth is at zero and unemployment is at a four-year high. So who's benefiting from GDP growth, with the prices of necessities skyrocketing? Yep. The fat cats. Hooray!

 

Stupid Tom.

 

Biden's aides never said that inflation was transitory. You can't fucking read. They said that the current HIGH inflation was temporary. As it turned out to be. Stupid Tom.

 

Stupid, stupid, stupid Trump-licking Tom.

There is no help for MAGA fuckhead idiots who bleat "TDS TDS TDS" every time the orange jerkwad whose dick they lovingly suck is criticized.

 

Really, dude, he's not even going to give you a reach-around. Why be his love-slave?

We also shouldn't forget that Trump's totally inept handling of the pandemic resulted in the US having a death rate that was double that of other countries, which translates to an "extra" half million deaths.

 

Only Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot, and a few others exceeded Trump in deaths caused. But bleach sales went through the roof!

If only he had told the MAGAs to light themselves on fire to burn the COVID away. 

Biden's aides never said that inflation was transitory.

 

As usual kevin lies

Yellen added that while she expected "somewhat higher inflation over the next several months" she added that would be "a transitory thing,

 

the Turdiffs have increased consumer goods' prices dramatically

 

Another kevin lie.  Remember kevin the economics expert said inflation would be 10%+.  Here is the inflation by category.  Doesn't look like a dramatic increase to me

Food: 2.6% Energy: 4.2% All items less food and energy: 2.6% Medical care: 2.9% Household furnishings and operations: 4.6% Recreation: 1.8% Used cars and trucks: 3.6% Apparel: 0.2%

 

Somehow 5.9% inflation is acceptable

 

unemployment is at a four-year high

But is a full point lower than the historical average

 

The usual suspects are unable to justify their rhetoric with actual facts.
