Trump says he 'loves' inflation as gas prices rise

financeJun 11, 20261105,953

President Donald Trump told reporters, "No, I love it. The numbers were great," when asked about the latest inflation figures. His remark came as U.S. pump prices climbed amid oil market volatility and energy executives warned prices could worsen. The comment contrasts with consumers facing higher costs for fuel, groceries, and borrowing. It matters because a president praising inflation can reshape economic perceptions and influence monetary and energy policy debates ahead of the 2024 campaign.

“Obama’s to blame for Iran.” “I don’t care about Iran.” “We’re going to bomb the shit out of Iran.”

What is the strategy name for circling all the answers on a multiple choice question so you can always claim you had the right answer later?

Did you see where he told a reporter “that’s the way life goes” when asked about Knicks tix being so expensive the average American could never go?

Biden made inflation drop from 9% to 3%. Biden is bad. Ergo, inflation is good. The more the better!

"so if Biden caused the inflation, then why do you love it, Mr. President?"

I think we all knew things were going to get crazy once he could no longer blame Biden, but, true to form, he somehow manages to be even worse than expected.

He said it in the interview with Hannity, "we" are making a lot money because of the higher oil prices

RIP America 🇨🇦3

What happened to "I'll fix it Day 1"?

We’re a week or two from him just straight admitting he’s intentionally manipulating gas prices

Shoot an arrow in the air. Wherever it lands, call that the target.

“No one gives a sh*t about housing.” “If [gas prices] rise, they rise.” "I don’t think about Americans’ financial situation." "I love the inflation." Donald Trump really is a man of the people, isn't he?

Here’s Mike Johnson’s attempt to clean up Trump’s “I love the inflation” mess: “What he was saying is: It’s going to be great to have that number and compare it to what comes next, when we get these situations resolved, that’ll be a fun thing to consider.” Johnson spreads bullshit poorly but often.
