Summary

Inflation in the U.S. rose 3% in January, with rent alone accounting for 30% of the increase.

Egg prices soared due to avian flu, worsening grocery costs.

Despite pledging to lower prices, Trump blamed inflation on Biden and foreign countries while avoiding specifics on his plan.

In a Fox News interview, he dodged questions about when prices would drop, instead citing trade deficits. The White House press secretary confirmed that the administration has no clear timeline for addressing the rising cost of living.

      Stop giving Trump too much credit. President Camacho from Idiocracy was an idiot. Trump is worse than that: he’s malicious and deliberately causing crises in order to excuse further consolidating his dictatorial power.

      To call Trump an idiot is, paradoxically, to carry water for him.

        President Camacho pardoned Joe Bauers who then became president. He showed that, even though he’s an idiot, he’s capable of making the right decision for the country.
