Inflation, prices jump as Trump ignores 'real Americans.' What about America first?

When news broke Wednesday that inflation and food prices went up in January, President Donald Trump wasted no time taking personal responsibility and vowing to focus solely on making life better for all Americans.

HAH! Just kidding. He posted “BIDEN INFLATION UP!” on social media and then presumably went back to planning the Trump-branded hotel and casinos I imagine he wants to build in Gaza once he’s ethnically cleansed the region.

The man who claims to care deeply about “real Americans” and “the forgotten men and women of our country” swore up and down that he would fix inflation and food prices "from the day I take the oath of office."

He also started taking credit for a rising stock market well before the 2024 election, saying the mere fact he was leading in the polls was driving the market higher.
