During 1992–2020, the USA had low and stable #inflation.

Despite massive federal deficit spending, the Fed met its 2% inflation target (or missed below it) for most of this era.

#TrumpSpeech "the most successful economy in the history of our country" FOR WHOM???? Like I don't remember gettin' rich or even really getting by.
The stock market is NOT the economy, stupid. #Economics101
The April Fool's thing is admittedly clever.

Unfortunately, some voters believed Trump’s promise to lower prices, but how? His tariffs will raise costs.

If Biden couldn’t magically cut prices, how can Trump? His claims are smoke and mirrors, not solutions.
