https://thehill.com/homenews/5640090-donald-trump-economy-inflation/President Trump gave the economy under his second administration an “A-plus-plus-plus-plus-plus” ahead of his trip to Pennsylvania to sell his efforts to bring down inflation on Tuesday. The president made the comments during an interview with Politico that was conducted on Monday. During the interview, Trump was asked about one of his of his supporters who gave him an “A-plus-plus” grade overall but said not enough is being done to address the high costs of goods. “I inherited a total mess. Prices were at an all-time high when I came in. Prices are coming down substantially,” Trump said, referring to what he said were decreasing energy costs. “Prices are all coming down. It’s been 10 months. It’s amazing what we’ve done. If you think of gasoline a gallon, they had it at $4.50, almost $5.00. You go to some of the states, you had it at $6.00. We hit, uh, three states two days ago, $1.99 a gallon. When that happens, everything comes down,” he said. Trump’s remarks come as he prepares to travel to Scranton, Pa. on Tuesday to tout his efforts to bring down costs. The president, who campaigned successfully on affordability in 2024, has since been plagued by frustration among Americans over prices remaining high. Republicans saw their biggest warning sign yet on the issue in last month’s off-year elections when Democrats won elections in key races across the country. Trump has laid blame on the Biden administration for high costs and has referred to Democratic messaging on affordability as “a hoax” and “a con job.” The administration has also sought to address the affordability issue through removing tariffs on various products in recent months.
>>1463628Man Trumps stroke has made him completely oblivious to the Trump Recession. K-shaped recovery will do that to ya of you're one of the billionaires.All of us that voted for him are on our own as prices continue to climb and wages remain flat whole layoffs skyrocket.
>>1463629Gas is $2.40, grocery prices are down, and my Schwab account is up 25%. Nobody cares about you fucking pathetic losers that have to make up shit to save face.
each plus represents how many time bibi will let donald suck his dick
>>1463629Mini strokes.If he saw a mushroom cloud rising over the capital, he would comment that there was a thunderstorm coming. And that the cloud was big and beautiful
>>1463646Imagine actually believing this.
>>1463650I mean that's literally reality, not reddit's front page... So you're going to have to deal with it.
>>1463654So when republicans get btfo in midterms because the reality is things have gone to shit, are you going to accept that reality or just cry election fraud as usual?
>>1463655Nah what's going to happen is youre going to go right back to whatever fag ass subreddit you belong to so you can be told how to cope and how it's everyone elses fault that Trump won the popular vote and not your cultist bullshit. Dont forget Trump's dividend tax refund is coming up next April you silly bitch oh wait you're an unemployed fuckin LOSER ahhahahahaha
>>1463654Go outside
>>1463656More like you're going to go back to twitter so you can be brainwashed by racebait and right wing influencers who convinced you that you're not the cultist in this situation.
>>1463660I did, and gas is still $2.40, I'm spending less at Meijer, and my Schwab account is still up 25%>>1463675I dont have any social media, which is why you redditor cultists drones are so shocked your nonsense falls on deaf ears
>>1463675>>1463660What are you fuckin faggots going to do when people with jobs get thousands of dollars in dividend refunds along with their taxes?
>>1463676>I did, and gas is still $2.40, I'm spending less at Meijer, and my Schwab account is still up 25%You can keep saying it but it doesn't make it true. I go to my local store and prices are much higher than last year. 70% of America disapproves of Trump's economy and everyone is noticing higher prices.This admin is an objective failure.
>>1463678So, leaving aside the fact there's no guarantee this will happen, adding like 5k to your yearly expenses and then giving you a one time payment of 3k isn't a bonus lmao.
>>1463701>70% of America disapproves of Trump's economy and everyone is noticing higher prices.According to who? Reddit's front page?>>1463709>The unemployed left wing redditor cultist is again praying to god his cultist subreddits are telling the truth Animals like you are why Trump won the popular vote lmfao
>>1463701>>1463709>The unempleoyed redditor's think they can convince people with jobs and money that things are worseOh how adorable
>>1463715>retards like me are why Trump won the popular vote lmfaoFTFY. Except the problem is, retards can't ignore objective reality when it starts to affect them. 22 states are effectively in recession right now. The rest are close to it. We're losing jobs at a level unseen since 2008 and potentially going to outright Great Depression levels. People cannot afford Trump's 2nd term.And it fucking shows. Trump's approval rating is in the shitter as the lowest of any president in history right now. Even the most hard red states where Trump went +22 in the election went either purple or to single digit republican + numbers. We've lost multiple major trade deals and even Trump's farmer bailout is being estimated by most of the recipients to be nowhere near enough. Trump is failing and the US is waking up to the fact they elected a complete fucking idiot.
>>1463731>let me use my redditor cultist speech because I know that you are more worse off than you doGood luck with that stupid! Remember when you retarded, ridiculous fuckin faggots thought you were winning Iowa?
>>1463731>Tue, Jun 17, 2025 12:33PM>Hey ------,>We have fantastic news—we’ve approved your order and the keys to your dream ride are just around the corner! Get ready for your pickup:Thats so odd how this economy is so terrible and yet I'm buying a new fuckin car. Hold on show me the polls you got off reddit to change my mind!
>>1463646How's the weather in mumbai?
>>1463650Hes a bot.Ive heard this 2$ gas talking point a lot; its being pushed in a concerted effort.Sad what chans come to. The internet is unusable these days. I'd give it up but I get bored.
>>1463736>Good luck with that stupid! Remember when you retarded, ridiculous fuckin faggots thought you were winning Iowa?Remember when you retards thought you were gonna keep Mamdani from winning in New York? Fucks sake, one of the hardest red districts in the entire US went from +22 to +8 for a Republican candidate last week. You lost the Miami mayorship for the first time in 30 years. People are recognizing that however bad Biden was, Trump is objectively worse in every way and is fucking everyone over. The only issue is they were too retarded to realize what everyone was warning them about before it actually happened.
>>1464034Imagine actually believing this.
>>1464036Not him but if you can't see the pendulum swinging back to the left then you're blind.
>>1464017you're jokingthe closest gas station to me has literally removed their old LED price sign because everyone knows its just two bucks a gallon
>>1464052As families hunt for the perfect gift this holiday season, soaring prices are dampening some of the holiday magic. New analysis from Groundwork Collaborative, The Century Foundation, and AFT finds that many of this season’s most popular holiday gifts are significantly more expensive under President Trump, with prices rising an average of 26 percent since last year—nearly nine times the overall inflation rate. No matter what aisle shoppers turn down, they’ll find higher prices: home and kitchen gifts are up 38 percent and electronics are up 34 percent, while clothing, shoes, and accessories are up 20 percent and toys and games are up 17 percent.New polling from Data for Progress, released alongside the analysis, shows that holiday price hikes are already taking a toll: more than two-thirds of voters are stressed about affording holiday expenses. To cope, more than 40 percent of families are buying fewer gifts, nearly one-third are giving presents to fewer people, and more than one in ten are tapping into savings. Americans know who to blame: nearly three in four voters hold President Trump responsible for rising costs this holiday season—including 44 percent who say they blame the president a lot.Rising prices this holiday season come amid mounting financial pressure, with forecasts pointing to a roughly 7 percent decrease in holiday spending this year. Many families are already stretched thin, with one in four American households spending 95 percent of their income on basic necessities such as housing, groceries, gas, child care, and utilities. Meanwhile, seasonal retail hiring has fallen 17 percent year-over-year, signaling fewer jobs, smaller paychecks, and even thinner cushions for families facing rising holiday costs. With family budgets squeezed and the job market stalling, holiday shoppers enter the season with consumer sentiment at the second-lowest level on record since 1952.
>>1463629its fine people are going to start heading to blue states for looting trip. its mostly filled with privilaged white cunts that are used to it anyways so no real loss
>>1464050>mamdani is a traditional leftistslmao imagine being this stupid. Mamdani has more in common with trump then an ordinary democrat. I'd rather have mamdani then trump as president but i'd infinitely rather have trump then kamala karen or whatever leftists garbage candidate they bring up.Its like how bernie sanders would've been the main choice for alot of center-leaning people but once you take him out, the votes go to trump not other democrats.>pendulum swinging back to the left then you're blind.nice copium to the extreme you may as well just stay highhttps://www.realclearpolling.com/polls/favorability/democratic-partyAs bad as trump's polling numbers are democrats are worst by over 5%.
>>1464057>New polling from Data for ProgressWell, there's your problem right there.Shit data from Progressive propagandists.Progressives are liars and should be kept farther away from politics than even, dare I say, libertarians.
>>1464052Well, it's $2.65 here. Down $.20/gal so far.But, as much as I'd love to back Trump on gas, that's been pretty standard around here. Although, it's down from $3 and some change under the shit president who actively attacked US supply chains.
>>1464068Even if that's true (it isn't), they didn't invent the prices.
>>1464085Ah, jeez man, yer gonna make me look inta their trash numbers (if they've even published them)?
>>1464057Here's your "popular" giftshttps://images.jifo.co/45479761_1764955305668.png>Historical price data was collected from archived Amazon product listings from a third-party service. Prices were examined between November 1 and November 10 in each year. When multiple prices appeared during the ten-day period, the median price was captured.Fuck man, why not literally just kill yourself?https://www.ebay.com/itm/324686527002?mkcid=2&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-175623-139228-7&mkscid=102&adsetid=9e759d84-03f7-4f9f-b253-735e8ca03382&keyword=nonbrand&norover=1&displaytype=simple
>>1464085>>1464086You know damn well that prices are up. Your cult of personality won’t let you disagree with Trump. The only thing that matters in MaGa is loyalty to your rich petty king. You’re not allowed to accept the reality of increased price and lack of affordability all over the country. But people’s lived experience Isn't going to be manipulated for anyone but you weirdos in the trump cult of personality. The rest of us see the real world and know we are all struggling while the rich get richer and trump brags about making his rich friends even richer. But don’t worry he is building a giant ballroom to have fancy parties with his friends. So nothing to see here right Trump bros? We are Just a bunch of lying liberals who won’t acknowledge that even though they are poorer then ever, Trump has made billions inthe last year for himself so everyone is rich, right?
>>1464097>You know damn well that prices are up.Well using the same logic as the shitass Progressive propagandists previous posted, no they aren't because I can find cheaper shit on Amazon when I bought it.And prices have been relatively stable since the end of Bidenflation.And no, I'm no fucking around. Bidenflation drove the price of food up drastically under his tenure and no some unscrupulous liars are attempting to cast it as a Trump problem because Trump specifically won his second term based on the shitass Bidenflated economy.Now go suck a fuck and leave me be, asswipe.Sick of your horseshit.Here's some fucking numbers for your stupid fucking little propaganda lying asshttps://www.usinflationcalculator.com/inflation/food-inflation-in-the-united-states/Now, literally go die, please, fucker.
>>1464103You're not american
>>1464103Dude… the info you linked to shows prices are up. You literally linked to information that goes against what you say. The Trump cult of personality is so deep that you literally point to facts that disprove your point and then flex like “hah owned you libs.” The emperor has no clothes but you praise his glorious robes as he waves his naked little dick in your face.
>>1464103>Here's some fucking numbers for your stupid fucking little propaganda lying ass>https://www.usinflationcalculator.com/inflation/food-inflation-in-the-united-states/>Now, literally go die, please, fucker.Literally every single number on there shows the price of food is up compared to last year lmao. you literally just disproved yourself.
>>1463646>>1463654SAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR!!!
>>1464122How are they this stupid? I don’t even think that one was a bot, genuinely just an illiterate retard
>The majority of Americans are up to their heads in debt, living paycheck to paycheck, can barely afford necessities, or have no job securityThis is no way to live. Hello dystopia! Of course Trump doesn't have a clue because he's got billionaire brain!
>>1464128Given how coordinated republican shill campaigns are, I wouldn't be surprised if he was just given the link and talking points to spam and didn't expect people to actually check the link.
>>1464103I don't care if this is b8: 5/5 PostThe true believers must really be suffering like this watching Donald shitting all over their finances, but not being able to admit they got conned. Donald really is Bush 2.0, especially now we're invading countries for their oil.
>>1464136local schizo posting links that contradict their own talking points has been a staple for yearsin their retarded mind they successfully trolled you
Ill say one thing, the right did successfully convince my ass to hate the fuck out of India and their rat people
>>1464066"Democrats" polling numbers are in the toilet because that concept is tied to the useless faggots of Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jefferies. Anyone who successfully separates themselves from that institution- Zohran, Ro Khanna, AOC, even Newsom somehow- is doing great
>>1464103Good post. Facts make lefties have melties oh no!
>>1464283replying to yourself again shill anon?
>a fucked-up economy - which isn't Biden's fault because he was no longer POTUS since 20th Jan 2025: and the fuckups started since then - will make Republicans not vote Republican next year. Two Weeks from now will make sure of thatReality makes righties have melties. Good
>>1464219The only cure to hating Indian people is to go to India…
>>1464291That probably won't help, unless you stay in the sanitized tourist parts. Just like UAE and Arabs.
>>1464286Always wrong. Never right.
>>1464283Pathetic posting your own post saying good post when your original post had a link that directly contradicted your point. You look like a fucking clown. You don’t even read your own links. Pull your head out of your asshole and take a breath.
