trump is eroding democratic norms right and left, so we can only wait and see. If we get a Democratic Congress, it will keep him in check, but if the party of trump wins the next election, it is anyone's guess how bad it will get.

And no, he is not responsible for the high cost of living, those prices rose during Biden's presidency.

Inflation is rising nearly two years into the trump presidency. How much longer are you going to blame Biden?

Don't blame Trump because they haven't fallen back to what they were when Biden took office.

The last thing we want is for prices to fall. That is deflation, and it is worse than inflation. The prices have been baked into the economy, so should not attempt to be undone.

We want inflation to drop back down to 2%. Biden almost got it down that low, but now trump is raising it.

The Vegetable's inflation:

Biden:

Total Cumulative Increase: Final accounting of the CPI from January 2021 through the end of the term in late 2024/January 2025 showed overall price increases of approximately 21.2%. Peak Inflation: Year-over-year inflation reached a 40-year high of 9.1% in June 2022 (/Average Annual Rate: Average annual inflation across the four-year term was near 4.9% to 5%.

Get a clue, Wrong Way Wally.

During Donald Trump's first presidential term (2017–2021), the average year-over-year inflation rate was 2.46%, with a cumulative price increase of roughly 7.8% to 8% over the entire four-year term.

Yearly Averages by Calendar Year (Second Term / Ongoing Data)2025: 2.6%2026: ~3.3% to 3.9% (fluctuating through mid-2026)

Assholes like the hard-core right-wingers of JPP will stick to the script they have been given and ordered to follow. They have trouble thinking for themselves...and are all so filled with hate that attempting to reason with them will not work.

I am hoping you are just yanking their chains. I suspect most of them are yanking also...although not their chains.

If you accept that inflation hitting a high in June 2022 was 100% Biden's fault, you also have to accept that where ever inflation goes after June 2026 is 100% trump's fault. This garbage that the current economy is not trump's fault should be rapidly dismissed.

Wrong, Wrong Way Wally.

The current year-over-year (YoY) inflation rate in the United States is 3.4% for the 12 months ending July 2026. According to data released by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), this marks a slight cooling from the 3.5% rate recorded in June.

The annual U.S. Consumer Price Index (CPI) inflation for August 2026 is projected to be around 3.45%, while Core CPI is expected to come in at roughly 2.43%

Have you ever gotten anything right, WWW?

It is higher than it should be, and going rapidly in the wrong direction, but if you are sure that it will start dropping soon, or at least will not get worse, then go on record as saying where ever it goes from here is 100% on trump... I await your bravery.... Or cowardice.

This POS, does not have the authority to change the name of any body of water on the planet?!!

Thirty years after launching during the dot-com boom, MapQuest has a new roadmap to success.

The digital mapping company is now the top free app in the Apple App Store after declining to rename Lake Ontario "Lake America," despite President Trump signing an executive order last week to change its name.

"The surge follows MapQuest's decision to keep the historical, familiar names for lakes and gulfs on its maps," the company said Monday in a press release.

ChatGPT is the second-most downloaded free app on Apple.

MapQuest disclosed its decision on social media on Aug. 27, posting "We're not changing it," the same day Mr. Trump signed the order directing the name change.

"We are aware that Lake Ontario is being correctly labeled on our map," the company later posted. MapQuest also launched a tool that allows people to create their own name for the lake.

MapQuest said Monday that hundreds of thousands of people have downloaded the app since the company announced it would keep the name Lake Ontario. Usage of the app is also running roughly 50 times its normal rate, the company said.(y)

"We took the same approach we did with the Gulf of Mexico: be part of the conversation, and give people an app that keeps the names they're familiar with," Doug Berger, general manager of MapQuest, said in a statement on Monday. "Hundreds of thousands of people signaled to us this weekend that we got it right, by downloading our app."(y)
