But in that short span of time he has succeeded in reversing the growth and stability that President Biden brought to the nation&#8217;s economy following the debacle that he inherited from Trump&#8217;s first occupation of the White House. Trump&#8217;s agenda rests heavily on recessionary initiatives such as his ill-considered tariffs, and his wildly unpopular <em>&#8220;Big Ugly Bailout for Billionaires Act&#8221;<\/em> (BUBBA). All of the harm from which he manages to blame on Democrats.<\/p>\n<p><strong>SEE THIS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=66602\" target=\"_blank\">Trump Goes Bonkers Ranting that Democrats Are \u2018Evil, Nasty People Who Hate Our Country\u2019<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The CPI numbers for June showed that inflation is on the rise. That shouldn&#8217;t surprise anyone. The impact of the Trump tariffs (aka taxes) alone would insure a worsening inflation situation. and the tariffs haven&#8217;t even gone fully into effect yet. Nevertheless, as <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/cpi-report-june-2025-inflation-trump-tariffs\/\" target=\"_blank\">reported by CBS News<\/a><\/strong>, the damage is already being felt by the American people&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;The CPI was forecast to rise 2.7% last month, higher than last month&#8217;s rate of 2.4%, according to economists polled by financial data firm FactSet. June&#8217;s reading is the highest since February, when the CPI rose 2.8% on an annual basis.&#8221; [&#8230;]<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Food prices rose 3% on an annual basis last month, higher than the overall inflation rate. Items that have seen big cost increases since last June include eggs, which are up 27.3%, roasted coffee, which is up over 12.7%, and ground beef, which is up 10.3%. Meanwhile, energy was a large source of inflation, with energy prices rising 0.9% on a month-over-month basis.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>While the cost of living is going up for American consumers, Trump is gaslighting them by insisting that just the opposite is true. They are not buying it &#8211; in more ways than one. Trump has been repeatedly lying that prices for everything from eggs to gas are at record lows. And he is getting support for those lies from his Ministry of Propaganda, Fox News. Fox&#8217;s Senior Trump-fluffer, Maria Bartiromo, had a ludicrous take on the CPI numbers just released, saying that&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;You&#8217;ve got to look at this report as another victory for President Trump, who has focused on reining in inflation \u2014 and that\u2019s what we&#8217;re seeing from this report again.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"bluesky-embed\" data-bluesky-uri=\"at:\/\/did:plc:nx2svqt5sdm2xmkbxcgmpzis\/app.bsky.feed.post\/3ltz64m5o5k2b\" data-bluesky-cid=\"bafyreihatj23dvs4s36de3fgprhswkow6e6ad7eq7grsa42zl2yusbg5wy\">\n<p lang=\"en\">Maria Bartiromo on today&#39;s inflation report: &#34;You&#39;ve got to look at this report as another victory for President Trump, who has focused on reining in inflation \u2014 and that\u2019s what we&#39;re seeing from this report again. &#34;<\/p>\n<p>&mdash; <a href=\"https:\/\/bsky.app\/profile\/did:plc:nx2svqt5sdm2xmkbxcgmpzis?ref_src=embed\">TrumpReposter (@trumpreposter.bsky.social)<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/bsky.app\/profile\/did:plc:nx2svqt5sdm2xmkbxcgmpzis\/post\/3ltz64m5o5k2b?ref_src=embed\">2025-07-15T14:59:16.005Z<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/embed.bsky.app\/static\/embed.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>No, actually, you do not have to look at it that way. And as noted above, that&#8217;s not what we&#8217;re seeing in the report. It is, however, what Fox News and Trump want you to think that you see. And to that end, Trump <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/trumpstruth.org\/statuses\/32003\" target=\"_blank\">posted a link<\/a><\/strong> to that Bartiromo comment on <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=66551\" target=\"_blank\">his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Among those who have pointed out the dishonesty of how Trump and Fox News distort the economic data from their own agencies, is &#8211; checks notes &#8211; Maria Bartiromo? Yep. In April she reported that <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=65905\" target=\"_blank\">Trump\u2019s tariffs will fuel higher prices and recession<\/a><\/strong>, saying that&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;It is going to have an effect on Main Street. Some things will become higher priced. We will see some products actually be raised in price because companies will pass on the cost of tariffs to consumers. I would expect that.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Is that also <em>&#8220;another victory for President Trump&#8221;?<\/em> Perhaps in his diseased mind it is. If nothing else, what Trump falsely believes is a <em>&#8220;PERFECT&#8221;<\/em> economy warrants the termination of Jerome Powell, Chairman of the Federal Reserve. Following the CPI release, Trump <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/trumpstruth.org\/statuses\/31998\" target=\"_blank\">posted a comment<\/a><\/strong> aimed at Powell that said <em>&#8220;Consumer Prices LOW. Bring down the Fed Rate, NOW!!!&#8221;<\/em> He has previously posted some infantile insults of Powell in an effort to coerce him to resign. For instance, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/trumpstruth.org\/statuses\/31557\" target=\"_blank\">he said that<\/a><\/strong>&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;&#8216;Too Late&#8217; Jerome Powell is costing our Country Hundreds of Billions of Dollars. He is truly one of the dumbest, and most destructive, people in Government.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>This would be a good time to remember that Powell was appointed to Chair the Fed Board by &#8211; checks notes again &#8211; Donald Trump! Now, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=56731\" target=\"_blank\">like so many other Trump appointees<\/a><\/strong>, he regards his own people as <em>&#8220;dumb&#8221;<\/em> and <em>&#8220;incompetent,&#8221;<\/em> and even <em>&#8220;treasonous.&#8221;<\/em> And why wouldn&#8217;t they be?
