Earlier this year, #Trump blithely suggested that Americans could cope with the impact of #tariffs by purchasing fewer toys for their children. “Well, maybe the children will have 2 dolls instead of 30 dolls, you know? And maybe the 2 dolls will cost a couple of bucks more than they would normally.”

#Trump also has been rolling back #FederalPrograms that help households make ends meet. His signature domestic policy law, passed in July, will reduce access to #Medicaid & #FoodStamps. Because of Trump’s opposition to an extension of #HealthInsurance subsidies, millions of Americans will soon face sharply higher premiums.

More recently, after an impressive set of victories by Democratic candidates running on #affordability issues, including #ZohranMamdani’s campaign in NYC, #Trump has taken to insisting that #prices aren’t rising [lying]. “Every price is down,” Trump claimed 2 days after the election this month. The White House put out a news release a few days later declaring that “inflation has been tamed” (it hasn’t) & that “everyday prices are beginning to drop” (they also have not).
