    Unexpectedly? By who?

    Pretty sure tons of people said that if Trump takes office, inflation would skyrocket thanks to the tarrifs and all his other bullshit… This was entirely expected. It’s the result we all knew was coming if he took office.

    If it were any Democrat in office right now, the media would have been pinning the blame harder than fighting games got blamed for violence in the 90s. Getting real sick of the narrative they’re spinning.

      If a Democrat were in office inflation wouldn’t have increased.

        It’s January numbers, a month Biden was in office the majority of.

          Yep, Trump’s policies are so awful it only took 10 days to undo the progress made in the previous 20.

      People that understand economics said that People who labor under the delusion that Republican administrations are better for the economy thought otherwise.
