President Donald Trump's administration is not taking high prices seriously enough, according to one conservative commentator.In a Monday night post to his official X account, Erick Erickson — the founder of conservative website Redstate — lamented to his 260,000-plus followers that the administration wasn't inspiring confidence among Americans that they were committed to lowering prices. While Erickson was once a "Never Trumper," he ultimately endorsed Trump's 2020 and 2024 bids for the presidency."This White House needs a new message about the economy because the message sounds like the Biden White House's message, denying reality," Erickson wrote. "I bought a 12oz bag of Community Coffee at the grocery store Sunday for $14.99. It was $11.99 at Kroger. And that's just one of many items."Erickson emphasized his point by posting a clip of White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller defending the administration's economic record on far-right network Newsmax. Miller's comments were spliced together with clips of Biden administration Council of Economic Advisors chairman Jared Bernstein insisting that prices for consumer goods under former President Joe Biden were under control."The Democrat media lies for a living. They're professional liars," Miller said in the clip. "... Under President Trump, in the last few months, we've seen the first significant reduction in prices and the cost of living since the last time President Trump was in office."Erickson's argument is based on sound data: According to Federal Reserve data, the consumer price index for groceries is higher than it's ever been. The AAA gas price index shows that a gallon of gas is in excess of $3 per gallon on average. And while Trump specifically ran on lowering the price of eggs, egg prices climbed significantly during the first few months of his second term. https://www.alternet.org/white-house-high-prices/
>>1458352It may be because Trump keeps saying prices are lower, meanwhile actually going to the grocery store (which he hasn't done in years) shows that prices are much higher.
>>1458355Yeah whats with that? Its like him saying the magical lie isn't working?!?!
Going from Trump to Biden back to Trump is the most distilled version of the "Republicans make a mess, America elects Democrats to clean it up, then they vote Republican to punish Democrats for not cleaning up the mess fast enough" cycle we've ever seen
>>1458365that cycle has been going on for decades desu
>>1458365Doesn't matter which party, there are always Jews behind the scenes pulling the levers.
>>1458357Trump lives in an insulated reality bubble surrounded by yes men who are trying to make money off of him.
>>1458391The Heritage Foundation runs the government now. Trump just signs whatever they put on his desk. He is only there to enrich himself and play golf.
>>1458405Nah the Jew Billionaires are in control. Heritage is their front but they've got their people (Stephen Miller) in the key positions to really run things.
>>1458391Like a dementia patient?He did have that stroke a while back
>>1458371Can we try something else?
>>1458355>Trump keeps saying prices are lower, Trump's asbestos pants burnt up long ago
>>1458470His pants aren't on fire, its his red hot lips that are, according to the rumors.
>>1458435He's been to the hospital twice this year. Both times he said it was for his "annual physical", which doesn't make any sense.
>>1458435>no u You guys literally cannot meme.
>>1458499>>1458499dRumpf's every bowel movement is logged by left wing media. There's no need for left wing conspiracy theories. If something was up a "source familiar with the matter" would leak it as is the status quo.
>>1458499Yeah. 1st one was the stroke. 2nd time was the surgery to fix his face, the droopy shit caused by the stroke.
>>1458352When you spend so long being extremely wealthy you eventually lose track of what life's like for common folk. This isn't a Trump issue. This is a centimillionaire-billionaire issue.
>>1458642When you spend so long being mentally unhealthy you eventually lose track of what life's like for common folk. This isn't a Trump issue. This is a you are a schizo issue.
>dRumpf's every bowel movement>needing so so much as think of that.But enough about >>1458560's obsessions. Very Freudian. Says so much about the likes of this poster.
>>1458655I fukkin' LOVE shit sexuallyAnyway, nice useless post, useless faggot.
>>1458352>Maga influencer states the sky is blueI mean, Donald has already admitted tariffs raise prices... not that there was ever any doubt about that among non-idiots
>>1458645Oh they're aware of us. They want to replace us with immigrants from India and god knows where else.
>>1458701Trump just loves charging people money. More tariffs!!!
>>1458355Obama raised the prices
>>1458352The solution is extremely simple. The fat needs to be consumed. Billionaires are the fat of nations, and those who financed or were involved in woke activities must be sent to the slaughter house.
