Tuesday, February 11, 2025

Donald Trump did not offer any concrete policy proposals or timeline on his campaign promise to immediately halt inflation and bring down the price of "everything" during his latest Fox News interview. The nonspecific answers came in the interview recorded last week but broadcast in full on Monday on Fox News, where anchor Bret Baier asked the president, "If all goes to plan, when do you think families will be able to feel prices going down"groceries, energy"or are you kind of saying to them, Hang on, inflation may get worse until it gets better'?" "Look, we're not that rich right now," Trump responded, before bragging about his support in the U.S. auto industry, criticizing past trade policy, and threatening Canada with a potential 100 percent tariff on autos.

Later when asked again about inflation, and whether tariffs will do as economists suspect and raise prices for consumers, Trump responded, "It might but it's ultimately going to be much less expensive," before adding that his administration is going to pursue an unspecified set of "amazing things" for the economy.

Anyone who thought a billionaire was going to lower prices is a special kind of stupid.

There will never be a good time for Donald to address high prices.

He's too lazy, stupid, and immature to even try.
