re: From now until November, Trump needs to stick to two, and only two, topics.

I didn't respond, because you said you wanted to hear from a Trump supporter

Not in my first post, I didn't:

"What do you think Trump would do in office to bring inflation down?"

work with Congress to cut spending

Let's set aside, for the moment, his unwillingness to do such in his first term -in spite of campaign promises to do so. Cutting the budget may have some longer term effects on inflation, but wouldn't do anything in the short term to curb today's inflation.

Unfortunately, the medicine for inflation is a contraction of the economy. No president wants that - not even Reagan wanted it when he was fighting with Volcker to curb the inflation of the early 80s as Volcker's Fed policy sent us into a recession, but brought inflation down.

Maybe Trump would change for his last term and become more of a fiscal conservative, but every time I've hoped he would change, he has not.
