Everything Costs More and Americans Are Blaming Trump
(00:00.684)
Yeah, that high cost of living that you’re told doesn’t exist is not happening because prices are down. Now it’s starting to sink in. Six out of 10 Americans are faulting the president for financial struggles and eight out of 10 worry about tariffs impact.
Americans are struggling financially, grappling with debt and the rising cost of living and are blaming the Trump administration and corporate interests for worsening economic outlooks, for worsening, for working families according to a new poll. And there’ll be lot of polls that are like that. No, is this all on Donald Trump? No, it’s not. No, it’s not. But it hasn’t been handled properly. I’m seeing more and more of this. And again, we’ve been talking about this for a very long period of time. And anybody who
claims, to, or tries to, tries to say that, no, no, I know for a fact, inflation’s going down, prices are going down. I said, okay, show me your bills. I wanna see your bills. I want you to show, I want you to prove to me that your groceries this month have gone down because they haven’t. Seeing more and more of this out there, people complaining. My husband and I,
talking last night about how a 12 pack of drinks is nine bucks now and how in 2020 I used to buy them for four for 10. I decided to go back into my Walmart app and see what I was paying for a random grocery order. In January 2020, I paid $70.20 for 30 items. I added all of them to the cart again and repurchased them today. Today, those 30 items
were $165.42. That’s a $95.22 price increase in four year time. 135.6 % inflation percentage. We can’t go on living like this. No, we can’t.
