Crazy that you guys don’t care about Trump doubling his wealth as president as outraged as you were over Hunter Biden selling some paintings. Double standards I guess.

I’m not saying your numbers are wrong, but it’s usually a good idea to include sources.

Link? Also. He has been President for 6 years. 4 years in between. That’s 7% growth per year. Not a great rate of return for a billionaire. You can claim double standards….but the power of compounding interest clearly escapes you.

Uh, inflation under Trump is far lower than under Biden. And it’s not even close. But thanks for playing.

Acceptable considering the alternative, a Kamala presidency.

California forcing shutdowns of refineries. Valero and Phillips. Already a thread talking about Ukraine bombing Russian Diesel refineries accounting for 65% of the increase in diesel prices.

Health Care? Yep, 30,000,000 illegals make health care cost go up. No shite. Middle class gets stuck paying for everyone.

Ground beef? Massive reduction in farmland will do that.

Starting Rate: The year-over-year inflation rate was about 3.0% when Trump took office in January 2025.

Overall Increase: Prices have risen by roughly 4.3% overall since the start of his second term.

Recent Spikes: Year-over-year inflation rose to around 3.5% by mid-2026, driven in part by higher energy and gasoline costs following geopolitical conflicts.

Mixed Goods: While some items like cars, eggs, and bacon have dropped in price, everyday essentials like coffee, ground beef, and electricity have gotten more expensive.

Carefully selected data with no context, designed to cast shade .

Classic communist tactic.




What’s missing:


*Official poverty rate fell to 10.2% in 2025.

*Median household income hit a record $87,460.

*Core inflation stabilized at 2.4% by August 2026.

Stop cherry picking time periods. Compare inflation in Biden’s first 3 years to the start of Trump’s term through today.

Yeah gas is high for reasons that are obvious. But I was paying more in 2021.

Trump's second term has been a colossal failure so far.

Cry harder. Sorry you didn’t get your Kamala presidency. Maybe next time.

I mean, I’m not a fan of Kamala, but those numbers seem on par with what I expected Kamala to produce. Are you saying she would have done worse? It’s possible sure, but I also would assume in the same scenario you would have thought Trump would do better.
