You make a vague accusation of "fringe" political beliefs and you accuse me of blowing smoke because I actually used data to make my point?
...and you think that's calling me out?

I hope Trump lowers the prices soon. I don’t know why he is raising them but I assume he has a plan.

This article is fake news.
And Trump was president for 12 days during this timeline.

The Democrats did whatever they wanted unimpeded for 4 years. Trump isn't going to be able to fix this without the American people feeling more pain in their wallets. It's going to get worse before it gets better, but we'll be better off for it in the future.
For those old enough to remember it, go back and take a look at the first year or so of Ronald Reagan’s first term. It took him some time to fix the mess Carter had left. The same thing is happening again. We’re less than a month into the Trump administration. There is no magic wand that will painlessly fix this mess literally overnight.

From January 1977 to January 1981, inflation averaged over 12% per year.
4 years at 49% cumulative.
From January 2017 to January 2021, inflation averaged 2% per year.

As far as inflationary periods go, 2021-2025 wasn't nearly as bad as other periods- yet people were (are) freaking the frick out.
You would have a point if they calculated inflation the same way for the same time frames.

i agree with you, but why did so many believe him at his word about "day one", as if that was even remotely possible?
tbh, i'm thinking it gets a whole lot worse before if even possibly gets better... b/c as well know, once those prices go up, they don't really come down...

I voted for Trump in November.
at no point have I thought or posted that I expected him to snap his fingers, end inflation, and lower prices overnight. I simply implied the previous administration didn’t do anything to alter the course nor did they seem interested in the impacts of inflation on the everyday American.
You’re welcome to comb through my post history. I don’t know any other Trump voter who expected this. Why is the assumption now that we did expect it to happen overnight?

Why are people so interested in throwing accusations around without any specific examples? Is it just to keep me from forming a rational response?
Someone made the vague claim that "we were told [inflation] wasn't real". That statement has not been supported by any evidence. The Fed Chairman's statement that it WAS real, but temporary, while incorrect, still doesn't support the lie that I was laughing at.
You should consider yourself lucky to never have experienced actual bad inflation. But you don't, you'd rather cry.

That 5% inflation isn't as bad as 8% or 10%? And you think that's somehow 'miraculous'?
Is this the right way to look at this? Things just didnt cost as much back in the 80s as you mentioned. Median home price was $64,000. In the 2020s, it is $329,000. Same with everything.
I would much rather the 1980s inflation

But you seem to be implying that the recent inflationary period is as bad as or worse than the inflation experienced in the 70s and 80s, while not supplying one single bit of evidence to support your position.
Here's a clue: Inflation from 2021 to 2025 is NOWHERE frickING NEAR the inflation from 1969 to 1981. To imply otherwise is simply completely ignorant, or agenda-driven.

They were bringing companies to court such as CalMaine that were price gouging. But sure they did nothing

i didn’t think you were directing that specifically at me. I’m just trying to provide some perspective.

there are loons within every collective on earth. I’m not saying these people don’t exist. And I generally try to avoid politics at all cost as a topic of discussion in person, much like religion. So maybe the sample size impacting my perceptive isn’t fair.
But what is being implied as the expectation for everyone who voted for Trump on November 4th, 2024 also isn't fair.

ohh we are all well aware that the previous administration wanted to solely point the finger at the ‘big bad corporations’. That accomplished diddly squat didn’t it? Remember the times Biden tried to flex on O&G in the media, then didn’t show face when they set a meeting with him in DC? Yeah, slowing down inflation was truly a top priority for him.
you don’t need to remind us.
