FFS, coffee beans are already wholesaling for 2x-3x what they were 5 years ago. My favorite coffee that I was buying for $12 a bag in 2020 is $18 right now…
Calm down, man. Just think about the alternative. Is it still better than the alternative?

He’s thirty points underwater on inflation. Even though tariff inflation is only just getting started.
I think a lot it is that many people think ‘taming inflation’ means bringing prices down to some level where they’re ‘supposed to be’. Trump encouraged then to think this way during the campaign.

What are you talking about? Eggs are going for 2 cents each in Trump's Fantasy World, gas is 79 cents a gallon, and gallons are now 10 pints!

"many people have told me" he says, too
Presumably not the 'Very Bad People' who whisper to him from under the stairs about Jeffrey Epstein's list while he's waiting for the stairlift to arrive, but the 'Very Fine People' who tell him he's the Greatest President Ever on the hour, every hour.

There was never any stopping that train, and the budget deficit would have been worse under Harris.

I don’t know. Harris would have had a lot to prove. The republicans would have howled to the high heavens about the deficit (but would have also given her shit if she didn’t cut taxes).
But they would have at least stuck to their traditional stance of deficits=bad.
I expect this sort of profligacy from the Dems.
