   He got elected on promises to lower inflation and instead prices are   
   steadily rising, we're talking about what's going on 6 months forward   
   never mind his Day 1 bullshit.

   I didn't run away from anything, inflation in the past 5 years was   
   caused by Trump who dropped the ball on COVID and came to a head in the   
   term of Biden who was doing something about it. Now Trump's tariffs have   
   only made everything worse.

   He's entitled to put whatever toadies in he wants who tell him what he   
   wants to hear but the American people see through it. And feel the   
   results of prices continuing to rise no matter what kind of rosy figures   
   he puts out.
