So inflation is going up. Trump's taxes of foreign goods is the most likely culprit.

From your link....



The people who told you all the figures in yellow box were not inflation and that was just a right wing conspiracy talking point are now telling you that the figures in the red box are rising inflation and a concern.

This is why libtards are not credible. It is why all of their concerns are not legitimate. They are not concerns but concern trolling and they are only doing it for political gain.

Until they admit their gaslighting, then anything in the present is to be treated as a present lie as proven by past lies.
 
......and it starts. This is before the largest hikes with the largest partners kick in. Powell is wise to be wary of the uncertainty .

All those figures are inflation, that’s a graph of the growth of a price index. And inflation is now accelerating again.
 
Anybody who can read a chart can see tariffs are doing little to nothing for inflation.

But the point is the figures in yellow folks like you declared weren't really inflation.

You’d think even righties would be pleased Biden has tamed Trump’s inflation.

Inflation wasn’t even a winning issue for the GOP in 2022. Hoping that it’ll work now that inflation is back to target seems … optimistic.

That's you right? Those are your comments about the yellow box.

So until Democrats admit inflation was real and happened under Biden, then no one is going to believe them now.

Accelerating?

LOL!!

That's not accelerating. THIS is accelerating.

 
Will Trump Taco his upcoming Liberation Day plans? Tune into the next episode of reality show president to find out.
 
Off-topic whataboutism.
 

You seem to have reading comprehension issues. Nothing there says inflation wasn’t “real,” it notes that inflation fell precipitously after mid-2022. It’s now beginning to tick back up again.
 
Nope. Trump told us he was going reduce prices and inflation. Both are going up.

If the economy grows faster than inflation then prices go down. They don't go down as raw numbers but they do go down with regard to purchasing power.

You don't seem to understand how this works.

Oh you had quotes that were far worse than that but they weren't available to quote for some reason and I didn't want to make it all about old lies.

I'll tell you what, you go back and find your own quotes declaring that what happened during the Biden term was Biden inflation and you were concerned about it and holding him accountable and I will consider you credible today.

I think he is stubbornly dug in. Not because it's the economically right thing to do but because of the TACO thing. With him it's all about ego. He may give Canada an extension but I think that's an outside chance.

It's not whataboutism. It's a direct refutation of an idiotic statement.

"And inflation is now accelerating again."​

Inflation is NOT accelerating.
