Hey Ass Hole why aren’t posting joe’s highest inflation rate????????????
Who’s the current president?
Yes!!!
Gee, I wonder how this all happened? I was fairly certain that the war in Ukraine would be over in 24 hours, and inflation would be down to 2%. I am sure it will all happen, though maybe not in our lifetimes!
Oh Really!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh the war joe caused because Putin knew joe was to weak and feeble to do anything about? Not to worry, Joe took our minds off of it when he gave the USA the highest inflation in over HALF OF A CENTURY.
“The raw inflation rate is less under Donald Trump’s current term compared to the highest levels seen under Joe Biden”
So no need to cry and whine democrats, it was still worse under Biden, it just seems worse under your President Trump because of your extreme prejudice and ignorance.
Trump stopped 20% of the world’s flow of oil with no way out except to give the Iranians pallets of cash. It’s literally, personally, his fault.
It happened because Trump is a cocksucker thats why!!!!!
You do a pretty good job yourself, Pastor Steve.

No matter what comments the republicans make they cannot nor will ever white wash the damage and destruction that is taking place now and has for the last 16 months. Previous administrations are irrelevant now.
