The 2024 presidential election ultimately ended up inflation.
in End of voteDonald Trump reached out among voters who said inflation caused them serious (76%) or moderate (52%) difficulties. Democratic candidate Kamala Harris has won people who are not affected by inflation. As former KOS staff writer Kelly Eleveld once said, “The Democrats have become a party of people who don’t have to look at prices when shopping for grocery.”
Trump leaned heavily against the inflationary message. Between him speech At the Republican National Convention, he said: . “Don’t worry about not having a plan.
He too I said“When I win, I immediately lower the price and start on the first day.”
Well, we’ve been in Trump’s second presidency for almost a month, and needless to say, prices haven’t fallen. actual, Inflation has been ticked In January, he tried to blame former President Joe Biden. What’s worse for him is that people have not forgotten his first day’s promise.
Last week, Opinion survey According to CBS News’ YouGov, 66% of Americans believe Trump is not focused enough on price cuts. And it’s not a panel that leaned towards the Democrats. 53% approve the work he is doing as president, and 47% disapprove.
It is clear that Trump is not focusing on inflation. He appears to think he can blame Biden for a while before finding some other excuses for price increases. He rather than helping the American people, he is more than rather about the workplace diversity programme and Greenland and the Gulf.
And when he gets into the economy? All he proposes is inflation. A massive deportation? inflation. Customs? inflation. On Wednesday, he called for the Federal Reserve. Low interest rates“We need to lower interest rates. There are things to keep hand in hand with future tariffs!!! Rock and Roll, America, America!!!”
Do you know why interest rates are raised? Lowers inflation. By making borrowing money difficult, it reduces the supply of cash to the economy. More cash means more spending. This means a higher price. Less cash, lower prices. Trump is acting as if he wants to increase inflation.
Still, by strengthening deportation and firing and enacting federal workers’ scores Employment Destruction Tariffdo you think that increasing the unemployment rate to 10% will stabilize prices? The unemployed are unable to buy things after all.
Either way, we’re going to spend the next four years hearing Trump voters say, “We didn’t vote for it!” Except what they did. That’s exactly what they voted for.
All they can do is admit their mistakes and stop Republicans from voting to ruin things.
And it’s time for Democrats to really focus on Republicans. Returning to the 1950s 10 out of the past 11 recessions It began under the Republican president. Make it your single biggest topic Until now.
Because if Trump goes his way, it will be 12 out of the last 13.
