WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump on Wednesday showed how he had learned to stop worrying about inflation and simply, in his own words, “love” it.
Asked about the new report that the consumer price index in May had jumped 4.2% over the last year, the president took a surprisingly optimistic tack with the challenging news. Trump didn’t dismiss the affordability issue as a “hoax” that was started by Democrats, as he has done previously. Nor did he claim that he was bringing down the cost of living.
Instead, after the government said that inflation spiked to the highest level since April 2023, Trump praised the numbers.
I think he’s cuckoo for coco puffs on the Alzheimer’s slide. There’s an inertia to reactions and statements that lingers as they fade away.
This is expected.
The infuriating part is his supporters in office won’t 25th him. I think they’re waiting until after the midterms deliberately. As is, they don’t have a president to tell them what to do, just an empty sac to whisper suggestions to.
