Trump’s Economic Advisor Forgets to Blame Biden for Trump’s Latest Rise in Inflation"},"content":{"rendered":"

One of the most prominent promises made by Donald Trump during his 2024 campaign to reoccupy the White House was that he would bring consumer prices down. He swore that he would do that on day one, and that it would be easy. We are now at day 632, and things have only gotten worse.<\/p>\n

The American people are well aware of Trump’s failures with regard to the economy. Despite his lying about this being the “Golden Age,”<\/em> people know what their groceries cost, and their gas, and their healthcare, and their housing, etc. Trump’s deceit and uncaring attitude are among the primary reasons that he is floundering at record lows for job approval.<\/p>\n

Most experts agree that the dismal economy we are suffering through are due to Trump’s neglect, incompetence, and ego. The war he started against Iran has resulted in higher costs for energy. His ridiculous, unwarranted tariffs account for the rise in virtually everything else. But in Trump’s twisted mind, and the minds of his MAGA-pologists, President Biden – who left office nearly two years ago – is the culprit who caused the fiscal fiasco that has plagued the Trump years.<\/p>\n

Political observers have wondered when the timeline would flip from the seemingly endless Biden Effect, to one where Trump actually takes responsibility for his own mistakes and misdeeds. Well, we might be getting close to that now. In an interview on Fox News Wednesday morning, the chairman of Trump’s Council of Economic Advisors, Kevin Hassett, had the following exchange with Fox’s Stuart Varney…<\/p>\n

Varney:<\/strong> We got the last Consumer Price Index report before the midterms. In September price is up 0.6%. Moved up a bit, a bit hotter, 3.7% over the last year. Here’s what Kevin Hassett had to say about it this morning.
\nHassett:<\/strong> Because the Houties started attacking the Saudi pipeline. And other Iranian proxies from Iraq were attacking refineries and so on. That we had a negative shock to energy again in September. But inside the topline number there’s a lot of good news. [Insert a bunch of Hassett lies]<\/em> If you look at core inflation, it was basically at the Fed’s target on average over the last three months. But this month was a blip up.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
