This will definitely bring inflation down.

Excited to unveil the design for the East Potomac Golf Links renovation from Fazio Design. Like iconic public courses of Bethpage Black & Torrey Pines, East Potomac will offer locals—of the National Capital Region—championship-quality golf at affordable, highly discounted rates.

Republicans continuing to call affordability a hoax will do so at their own political peril. We saw this with Biden. Voters do not reward people who tell them not to believe what they feel and see with their own eyes and wallets.

He gets a ballroom. An Arch. A new reflecting pool. 10 billion directly into his pocket from taxpayers. Billions from special interests seeking favors and pardons.
What has America gotten? Tariffs, a new war, higher gas prices, inflation.
Truly a golden age.

Inflation is higher under Donald Trump today than it was when Joe Biden left office.
Heather Long@byHeatherLong
JUST IN: U.S. inflation jumped to 3.8% (y/y) in April--> the highest in three years. This is painful for Americans, especially moderate-income households. Inflation rose 0.6% in the month of April due to soaring gas prices that accounted for over 40% of the increase. Rising shelter and food prices also pushed up inflation. Core inflation (which excludes food and energy came in at 2.8% (y/y) in April

It never even reached 50% in his first term.

NEW: The cost of President Trump's plan to repair the Reflecting Pool has jumped by 88 percent, to $13.1M, gov't records show.
The price appears to include a 20 percent profit margin for Trump's handpicked contractor, who got the job in a no-bid contract.

Fastest way to bring gas prices down is to end Trump’s war.

Inflation is wiping out wage gains.
This is the big Achilles Heel in the US economy.
April wage growth: 3.6%
April inflation expected to be ~4%
Wages are being eaten up by inflation due to the war in Iran. This is a big shift from the past several years when wages were growing well above inflation.
Yes, workers have jobs, but this is a squeeze.

The U.S. Energy Information Administration one month ago: "We forecast retail gasoline prices to peak at a monthly average of close to $4.30 per gallon (gal) in April"
AAA average today is more than 25 cents above the projected peak.

Great midterm message. In Trump’s economy, you have to drive yourself into debt just to get by. Let’s keep these guys talking through November.

Kevin Hassett: "The consumer is really, really firing on all cylinders…Credit card spending is through the roof. They're spending more on gasoline, but they're spending more on everything else too."

Brief reminder for the talking heads trying over index the Indiana results this morning. Let’s not let a handful of state senate seats in a ruby red state distract us from the fact that broadly speaking Donald Trump remains extremely unpopular with the American people.
The Economist@TheEconomist
Donald Trump's approval rating currently stands at -18. His unpopularity is in large part explained by Americans’ views of the economy. Follow our Trump tracker for the latest economist.com/interactive/tr…
