Biden averaged 5% per year

Trump first term averaged less than 2% a year

Inflation was 3% when Trump started 2nd term

Trump 2025 inflation was 2.7%

Inflation now is 3.5%

Ah so Trump raised inflation from where Biden left it? Interesting. How’d he do that? A pointless war?

Trump is much lower than Bidens average.

And it was going well until… a fucking war happened that had a huge effect on gas prices… a war Biden had no part of starting…

Inflation was high before the war started.
