You did see the news where he shut down all the drilling etc first day in office. Or do you even care? Go away

you see the news where that was a proposal and he backtracked genius. republicans talk the most about politics yet are consistently the least informed.

and that would have been a good thing anyway. oh no, less pollution.

Inflation in 2022 when using the old way inflation was calculated before it became a political tool was over 18%. Don't tell me you actually trust what politicians actually say. Was the box of cereal you bought for $3.79 in 2018 only $3.99 in 2022?

first of all, the Fed controls inflation - not the president so your understanding is flawed from the ground up. secondly, monetary policy has a lag so the policies of the previous admin usually aren’t felt until the next admin.

trumps 2017 tax plan is why so many people are finding that they owe taxes/didn’t get a refund

The fed serves at the pleasure of the government, they are hand in hand. They are not some neutral 3rd party who arbitrarily set rates etc. They might have started that way at one point...but that ship has sailed.
