Inflation is not cooperating with the trump narrative​

Neither is the truth.

Republicans have tried to rewrite the four years of Trump’s presidency as a time of unparalleled peace, prosperity and tranquility: “the strongest economy in history,” as Senator Katie Britt of Alabama put it during the Republican National Convention. The difference between Trump and Biden? “President Trump honored the Constitution,” said Gov. Kristi Noem of South Dakota. Gov. Glenn Youngkin of Virginia offered Mr. Trump’s first term as an example of “common-sense conservative leadership.”

The record of what Mr. Trump actually did in office bears little resemblance to that description. Under his leadership, the country lurched from one crisis to the next, from the migrant families separated at the border to the sudden spike in prices caused by his trade war with China to the reckless mismanagement of the Covid pandemic. And he showed, over and over, how little respect he has for the Constitution and those who take an oath to defend it.

Prices are 25% higher than when Biden/Harris took office. That is called inflation. That is also called the highest inflation during 3 years in a very long time. That is called Americans can't afford to live anymore. And yet you act as if there has been no inflation and Americans are getting along just fine. Voters trust Trump more on the economy for a reason. No matter how much your side lies, people still have to buy things.

That number goes up every time you guys tell this story.
