Biden didn’t cause inflation and there isn’t much he or any president can do about it.
Inflation is a global issue. Its main drivers are supply-chain issues, volatility in the energy sector, wars in Ukraine and Gaza, and corporate greed. The US has the lowest inflation rate in the G7 and one of the lowest in the world.
Trump inherited a growing economy, low inflation and low unemployment. When he left office, the economy was in tatters.
Under Biden, the US has had the strongest economic recovery of any country in the G7: 15.6 million jobs created; unemployment below 4% for 27 months. The Wall Street Journal called the American economy today “the envy of the world.”
Anyone who thinks the Orange Felon can automatically lower prices and inflation is as delusional as he is. Deporting millions of immigrants, slapping higher tariffs on imported goods, and lowering taxes for the wealthy, would devastate the economy and boost inflation.
