Remember the high prices of everything under Biden? Now they are higher, where are the complaints from the right?

Tell us about the wonderful job he is doing but do not mention the hundreds of thousands of federal workers furloughed, nor the thousands who have outright been fired. The tariffs that other countries have to pay, for some strange reason are causing our prices of goods to rise? Prices were one of trump's main campaign points and how he was going to bring them down on day one.

Who here has gone food shopping and found prices are dropping, anyone?
 
They will never criticize him or anything he does ...never. They will ignore, deflect and excuse but never ever criticize. I think it is because they see it as giving one to the libs...so damn immature.
 
Members of MAGA don't have the courage to step out of the MAGA line.

Down here in the South we use to make fun of people like that. People who don't have courage.

People as a whole aren’t happy with Trump’s handling of inflation/rising prices. His approval on this issue is just a bit slightly better than Biden’s. 37.9% approval for Trump, 34.3% approval for Biden.

The big difference is that there was an election last year which brough Biden’s handling of inflation/rising prices to the forefront. With no election this year, the discontent for Trump’s handling of inflation/rising prices is muted. Especially with the government shutdown going on.

Now let’s look at parties. Trump’s handling of inflation, republicans 69% approve/22% disapprove. Among democrats, 6% approve/92% disapprove. Biden’s handling of this issue, republicans 8% approval/88% disapproval, among democrats 68% approval/26% disapproval. Even with prices continuing to rise, you can see the partisan divide which isn’t based on the actual rising of prices/inflation, but who is president. Which leads me to independent, the non-affiliated, the less to non-partisan group of voters, swing voters. Today, Trump’s handling of inflation/rising prices, 24% approve/66% disapprove. On Biden’s handling of inflation/rising prices, 22% of independents approved/64% disapproved.

Bottom line, republicans happy with Trump’s handling of inflation, democrats and independents definitely unhappy. With Biden, democrats were happy with how he handled inflation, republicans and independents very unhappy. Republicans are giving Trump a pass on this issue; democrats gave Biden a pass on rising prices/inflation. Only independents have and are holding both Biden and Trump accountable regardless of party affiliation.
 
High prices don't matter as long as Righties get to see brown people rounded up.
