As inflation surges due to Trump's Iran War, don't forget it was already rising before the war thanks to his tariffs.
And despite them being ruled illegal, Trump still hasn't given us a tariff refund!

“No one gives a sh*t about housing.”
“If [gas prices] rise, they rise.”
"I don’t think about Americans’ financial situation."
"I love the inflation."
Donald Trump really is a man of the people, isn't he?

President Trump says he loves inflation.
He and his entire administration are so out of touch with how hard it is for working people to just pay their bills in this economy.
Working people need real leadership NOW.

Nobody has ever demonstrated this kind of mastery of financial manipulation.
Donald Trump was able to manufacture hundreds of billions of dollars in financial market activity (both rising stock prices and falling oil prices) out of thin air.
*Nothing* changed yet boom.

CPI inflation hit 4.2% and wholesale inflation hit 6.5% in May — the highest levels in three years.
Do not forget this is the result of the reckless and deadly decision-making of one man: Donald Trump.
We are paying the price for his warmongering.

CNN’s Harry Enten: “Trump's ‘I love the inflation’ is one of the most politically tone deaf statements I've ever heard. No president before him ever had a -50 point or worse net approval in an inflation poll. Trump's done it 8+ times. Trump's the only prez to ever hit 80% disapproval on gas prices.”

#WolffBites: Trump says "I love the inflation." Because it is great for his employer buddies. By prices rising faster than wages, wealth gets redistributed upwards from employees to employers. The MAGA hero.
