Trump says 'I love the inflation' after CPI hits three-year high
President Donald Trump told reporters "I love the inflation" after the Labor Department reported the consumer price index rose to a three-year high. He said inflation would fall once the U.S. war against Iran ends and claimed "we've been taking out millions of barrels of oil," adding that U.S. forces seized Iranian oil shipments, including 22 ships taken "late at night with no lights." The comments frame higher consumer prices as an acceptable trade-off for aggressive foreign policy and raise questions about administration priorities as Americans face rising costs for gas, food, and health care.
Trump just said “I love the inflation.” The gasp among GOP operatives registered on the Richter scale
Except Speaker Johnson who will feign ignorance
That clip will be in EVERY Dem campaign ad lol. #moron
I’m sick of having a fake president who seems to have narcolepsy 24/7. The GOP can choke on their gasps. They are to blame for all this.
Maga will never hear that quote. It will not be played in the media they consume.
Put it on a billboard
That’s how far we’ve come as a nation. We employ a president who is happy when Americans can’t afford shit.
Sometimes the ads write themselves
Anything that happens under Herr Shitler’s watch is the greatest anyone has ever seen, including inflation!
Says dude with six bankruptcies and a boatload of failed branded products.
Nah. They’ll just say “it’s locker room talk”
I give it 24 hours until the GOP members of Congress start going on CNBC and Fox to explain why inflation is a good thing!
Trump loves it when he's making $billions more and the American people are suffering.
WOW...THIS isn't FOR him or ABOUT him but once again he rapes and pillages all that is ours.
I was talking to a MAGAT. He said it is so unfair that Black people and gay people get a month to celebrate. Why do veterans only get one day? When I told him that our Veterans rightfully received two full months each year to be honored….. he walked away monitoring how great dozy Donnie is.
Inflation IS great for people who own stuff, especially those who borrowed money to own stuff (aka billionaires). It's only awful for those of us who consume stuff, and especially those of us who borrow money to consume stuff (aka everyone else)
Trump loves the Tariff extortions into his pocket. He doesn't give a shit about any of us, never has, never will.
Wait until the federal reserve raises interest rates, then the clown isn't going to "love the inflation" quite so much.
LOL! This conman is the stupidity that just keeps on giving!!
The ads for Democrats for the midterms are writing themselves every time he opens his fucking mouth.
I dunno. It’s almost as though he could shoot someone on 5th Avenue…
He's insane in the membrane.
Dems campaign ads are going to write themselves. Think of the money we'll save!
Pretty much certain that guarantees the Democrats win the Primaries. And I’m OK with that He just can’t get any dumber. But wait…
I wouldn’t get too excited. They will be screaming “fake news” by 2300 EST.
Hopefully it registers with some of his supporters.. who are actually hurt the most by it....🤷♀️
His "thoughts"/impulses rarely leave his genitalia, do they?
He says so many conflicting things it doesn’t matter.
And all the GOP operatives have already started spinning it so fast the earth is now rotating backwards.... and his cult will never hear about it on fox....
He means he loves the market swings he's creating with his perpetual lies about the state of the Iran War.
The TV ads just write themselves. Right up there with - I don't care about Americans' financial situation.
If you are unable to fix runaway inflation because you are an idiot trapped in an idiotic war you idiotically started, then just declare that inflation is actually great! It will work on the 30% stupidest Americans. Aka MAGA.
To me, that is the proof that this is dementia and not just Trump being Trump. He gets worse every day. If this is just the same old Trump, who predicted that he would say "I love inflation" today? When has he said he loves inflation before?
Not surprising! HE DOESN'T CARE😖
Affordability and corruption. That’s it, Democrats. DO NOT stray from this.
They will also learn to love inflation.
I’m guessing Iran is going to pounce on the fact that he called a Marine a thug.
Why? Don't they know that, for his followers, 30+ % of the populace, he can say nothing indefensible? It's as if he's Scripture and they're fundamentalists.
Another great Dem midterms ad!
No one will need to hire consultants to help them with their advertising this year
inflation is a good way for corporations to price gouge that is why the wealthy banks liked the housing crisis - so many foreclosures meant opportunities to purchase discount properties
Of course he said that: he has to normalize it so the MAGA faithful believe it's good for them and are reminded that he cares so deeply about them.
He's adding thoughts for a complete confession. He said last week that he doesn't care about the financial stress Americans are enduring, and now adding that he loves that he is dumping higher inflation on We The People.
During 2024 presidential campaign trump consistently criticized Biden administration for elevated inflation levels. trump stated these rising costs were due to excessive government spending & specific energy policies.
When "I love the poorly-educated" ends up as "I love inflation".
Trump loves inflation. The NYT just exposed the Epstein Situation Room freakout. We’re bombing water supplies in Iran. And the 2026 midterms are taking shape. It’s a lot. Read the full recap.
He’s wishing for world peace 🤡 bsky.app/profile/midd...
Republican, Ashley Hinson, adores Trump. Iowan running for US Senate wants to be Trump’s top ally in the Senate. 💙Vote Josh Turek💙
Property developers love inflation. Inflation makes real estate prices go up.
Since re-election, Trump and his family of thugs have made billions. Are you tired of the winning yet? www.cnn.com/2026/06/10/e...
Still not on either the NYT or WaPo homepages: Trump: "I love inflation"
it is here on NYT homepage under the White House Again Shrugs of High Prices Amid War With Iran story
But this dreck is on the front page of the NY Times. Ugh!
It should be a banner headline. Along with Trump's claim that the US has a massive hoard of Iranian oil.
Democrats should play this over and over.
Both run by members of the Epstein class.
I don't want to just assume that this would be on the WaPo and the NYT homepages if Joe Biden said that he loved inflation. That would be presumptuous, even if it's one of the safest assumptions in the entire world.
We dont need our own Joe Rogan. We need our own New York Post
Are you concerned about the inflation number that came out this morning? Trump: “I love the inflation.”
Every single democrat who's running for office needs to put this into their messaging campaign this election cycle. Then going forward democrats need to pull this gem out every election cycle for the next 20 years to remind people the GOP isn't your friend and they're bad at running the economy.
Call me old-fashioned, but I prefer presidents who don't love inflation. Besides, What kind of president (hint; only a psycho or demented one) says he loves inflation? It's eating us alive out here.
Example 5,642 of evidence of dementia.
Every single repub needs to be told he said that and then asked if they like inflation as well. Priceless.
He is sooooo stupid, he thinks inflation only means more sales revenue for his large corporate benefactors. He is fucking clueless, ignorant, and unconcerned about who actually pays for the sales gouging by his oligarchs.
