   B...b...b...but Biden.   
      
   But all that inflation (caused by COVID which Trump45 ignored and then   
   denied in early 2020) was supposed to go away "on Day 1" Jan. 20, 2025   
   wasn't it?   
      
   At least that's what suckers like you believed.   
      
   Now Trump is firing people left and right who report economic numbers   
   he doesn't like, it's "The Apprentice" but this time it's no silly game   
   show.
