The President promised prices would go back down. In a healthy economy, they almost never do. The normal pattern is: prices jump, then over time your paycheck catches up. The pain comes when wages don't follow—then it's not “inflation” so much as an affordability crisis.

"Embraces authoritarian leaders who enrich the Trump family & their billionaire friends." 🤑💩🐷
This week, Trump quietly released his National Security Strategy.
It totally abandons the idea that we should stand up for freedom & human rights around the world.
Instead, it lectures our European allies & embraces authoritarian leaders who enrich the Trump family & their billionaire friends.
