During the first weeks of Trump's presidency, a significant absence of attention towards lowering prices has emerged, despite it being a primary concern during his campaign. Trump has publicly stated that his focus has shifted to immigration issues rather than inflation, even as prices continue to rise. He acknowledged inflation's severity but suggested constant discussion of it yields little action. While inflation peaked at 9.1% in June 2022, recent figures illustrate a decrease to 2.9%. Trump's stance reflects a reluctance to prioritize cost-of-living issues over immigration and border control.
Trump's promises to bring down the cost of living were a big reason he was elected, but since taking office he has now twice said that's not his top priority.
I always felt the border was first... inflation was terrible... but you can only talk about it so long. The price of apples doubled.
