Summary

Inflation in the U.S. rose 3% in January, with rent alone accounting for 30% of the increase.

Egg prices soared due to avian flu, worsening grocery costs.

Despite pledging to lower prices, Trump blamed inflation on Biden and foreign countries while avoiding specifics on his plan.

In a Fox News interview, he dodged questions about when prices would drop, instead citing trade deficits. The White House press secretary confirmed that the administration has no clear timeline for addressing the rising cost of living.

      It started with the pandemic. That was the Earthquake, the inflation was the aftershocks.

      And sure you can blame Biden for getting inflation down without causing a recession (which means people lose their jobs). But now “daddy’s home” and he’s going to deal with inflation his way! Inflation affects everyone including the rich. Recessions just fuck over the working class. Guess which way daddy Trump is going to go?

      Hope you have some money saved up for when you’ll lose your job. Don’t say those “liberals” didn’t warn ya.
