Biden had the worst inflation in 40 years Einstein

One doesn't have to be an "Einstein" to know that much of that inflation was caused by the Covid pandemic when there were major interruptions in the supply chain. And you don't have to be an "Einstein" to know what happens when there are shortages of critical items.

Besides, your rebuttal is just a distraction from the fact that today's inflation is mostly the result of Trump's tariffs. Whereas, Biden was not responsible for the pandemic.

I'd say the exact opposite, Trump's tariffs reduce inflation for the rest of the world as China needs to dump it's excess production on the rest of the world.

Cars, TVs, electronics, clothing, food all cheaper!

China is going through deflation while the rest of the world is being hit by inflation. By the way,Trump's first obligation is supposed to Making American Great Again.

I'm not American, America doesn't provide anything I buy or use.

I don't give a poop what happens there.

On the other hand,

China provides cars, bicycles, fruit, solar panels, and all the gadgets I use.

Long live China!

Load of rubbish. Inflation has little to do with tariffs. Its price momentum, transport costs,cost of production. You lefties have no idea.

Trump did too lol

2025, the annual inflation rate is estimated at 2.74%, based on data from the last twelve months ending November 2025. This follows a rate of 2.89% in 2024, 3.35% in 2023, and a sharp rise to 6.45% in 2022

So why did inflation go down?

Only in your imagination it went down loser

In 2024, imports of goods and services accounted for approximately 13.89% of the U.S. gross domestic product (GDP)

Tariffs only impact a minority of goods.

I guess that's something that needs proof rather than just an allegation based solely on how buthurt you are that he's POTUS. The fraud in Minnesota has already been proven with more to come and this round of childcare fraud has been brought to the attention of authorities by a YouTuber.

I am from Minnesota and it was known well before the you tuber started posting on it. But now it is known world wide.

The inflation rate for fuel oil and other fuels in the United States has been significantly higher than the overall inflation rate over the long term. Between 1935 and 2025, prices for fuel oil and other fuels increased by 6,283.30%, with an average annual inflation rate of 4.73%. This is higher than the overall inflation rate of 3.56% during the same period. For example, a dollar spent on fuel oil and other fuels in 1935 would have the same purchasing power as $228.52 in 2025.

In 2025, the current national average price for fuel oil and other fuels is $3.58 per gallon. The inflation rate for this category in 2025 was -1.30%

Trump reduced fuel inflation which reduces overall inflation.

Thanks Don.

Only because he fired the career bean counters and replaced them with sychophants that will report exactly what tRump wants regardless of the accuracy.

Got nothing as usual I see.

To bring this back on topic should AN consider changing it's policy on MSM reliance for articles? Should this forum become more like X where individual reasoning can happen rather than directed content toward MSM? I do find it interesting that left leaning media outlets are well represented in news articles posted but, and I might be wrong here, I've never seen any news article based on a Fox News/Sky News reports.

Please explain your reasons as to why you say it is rubbish?

Mad magazine A. E. Neuman knows his stuff

imho...none of them... The question should be who owns the media and who tells their editors what they can publish with what bias

The BBC is often used on here and is deemed to be trustworthy and reliable. Nick Shirley a MAGA Youtuber would probably not be seen as such. The BBC has been exposed for being anything but trustworthy and Shirly has exposed more fraud in Minnesota now being investigated by federal authorities. The nature of news has changed and what is deemed to be trustworthy and reliable should now be viewed differently. MSM is no longer the standard and hasn't been for quite sometime.

Feds launch 'massive' investigation after viral video alleges Minnesota daycare fraud

Nick Shirley's YouTube video showed largely inactive centers receiving millions in state funds, including one with 'Quality Learing Center' sign

Federal authorities were conducting a "massive" investigation in Minnesota on Monday, days after a video posted online by an independent journalist on alleged fraud involving daycare centers. 

In one clip, Shirley and a man are seen at what appears to be a largely inactive childcare facility. The building also displays a misspelled sign reading "Quality Learing Center," even though the center reportedly is supposed to account for 99 children and received roughly $4 million in state funds.
