It's ridiculous that inflation is the biggest threat to his presidency and not his many felonies, the Epstein files or the Russian videos.

Indeed. As it was ridiculous that it took tax evasion to finally convict Al Capone and send him to prison. We'll take it!

He doesn’t care. This is not a normal presidency, this is a coup. He’ll just continue to enrich himself and the billionaire sycophants sucking at his teat. Everybody else can starve.

Even if inflation does kick-off, it will be all Biden's fault!?!

It has to be a contender for the most spectacular own goal of the century. Then again, can we expect anything less from the man who bankrupts his own casinos?

It's possible Trump will buck the trend of a century of presidents. Or maybe not...

I think Trump has already done that. Which statistician will be prepared to publish data that displeases him . The truth no longer matters.

He can lie all he wants about stats, consumers will know when prices rise. This is his very own goal. It's actually going to get worse for him. The tariffs have created shortages which are only now starting to be felt. It will really be evident in the run up to Xmas.
