Not at all. He promised to lower prices on day one. Instead he started rasing prices on day one. You even promoted his pledge to lower prices on day one here as a justification to vote for Trump. Chumps that believed Trump's lies are why we have higher prices.
Given how you complained about "Biden's prices" and how you couldn't afford food or a place to live I expect that means you are living in a cardboard box and eating cat food now?
I tell you what people are noticing - the continued whining by morons like you who always complain and never acknowledge things that have been done. Here is a partial list of what he has done in just the first 6 months.- Congress passed the One Big Beautiful Bill, thereby delivering the largest tax cut in American history, increasing Americans' take-home pay by as much as $13,300, and terminating benefits for at least 1.4 million illegal immigrants who were gaming the system. Congress passed President Trump's historic rescissions package, which will save taxpayers $9 billion in wasteful, politically-motivated funding for leftwing foreign aid scams and biased NPR and PBS. The wholesale price of a dozen eggs is down 53%, or $3.09, since the inauguration and is down 62%, or $5.08, from its March peak. The U.S. economy has now added a net of 671,000 jobs since January 2025, with jobs numbers beating expectations four months in a row. Native-born workers have accounted for all job gains, with native-born employment increasing 2,079,000 while foreign-born employment has fallen 543,000. Since President Trump took office, core inflation has tracked at just 2.1% — levels not seen since the first Trump Administration, when prices were low and stable — and has come in below or at economists' expectations every single month. Meanwhile, wholesale inflation remained flat in June, while import prices came in far below expectations. Summer gas prices reached their lowest point since 2021, and, inflation-adjusted, are near a 20-year low. President Trump's deregulatory efforts have already saved Americans over $180 billion, or $2,100 per family of four, with the rollback of automobile-related rules alone expected to save consumers more than $1.1 trillion. President Trump secured a historic agreement for NATO members to raise defense spending to 5% of GDP – a foreign policy feat long thought impossible. In May, blue-collar wage growth saw its largest increase in nearly 60 years since President Trump's return to office. Companies and foreign governments have pledged over $7.6 trillion in investments into the U.S. The U.S. Treasury has taken in nearly $90 billion in tariff duties since January 2025, with the agency posting a record $27.2 billion surplus in June – the first June surplus since 2005. President Trump has once again proved to be the Dealmaker-in-Chief, inking a minerals deal with Ukraine, a $14 billion "perpetual Golden Share" sale of U.S. Steel, and trade deals with the United Kingdom, China, and Indonesia. The U.S. Army, Navy, Air Force and Space Force all reached their recruitment goals months in advance. The Trump administration has made incredible strides in its effort to Make America Healthy Again, with roughly 35% of the American food industry making a commitment to eliminate the use of artificial dyes, including Hershey, Consumer Brands and dozens of ice cream companies representing more than 90% of the ice cream volume sold in the U.S. President Trump has ensured U.S. benefit programs serve U.S. citizens, with the administration now having protected more than $40 billion in benefit programs from illegal aliens since POTUS signed an Executive Order in February "Ending Taxpayer Subsidization of Open Borders." President Trump has solidified the U.S.'s position as the world leader in artificial intelligence, attracting north of $1 trillion in AI investment, including $90 billion in groundbreaking AI and energy investments in Pennsylvania. The U.S. is on track for its lowest murder rate on record following President Trump's reinstatement of law and order. Following President Trump's February executive order, universities and school systems have stopped allowing men in women's sports, including the University of Pennsylvania, the Virginia High School League and the University of Maine System. -- https://www.presidency.ucsb.edu/documents/white-house-press-release-president-trump-marks-six-months-office-with-historic-successes
