Unexpectedly?

Unexpectedly? By who?

Pretty sure tons of people said that if Trump takes office, inflation would skyrocket thanks to the tarrifs and all his other bullshit... This was entirely expected. It's the result we all knew was coming if he took office.

If it were any Democrat in office right now, the media would have been pinning the blame harder than fighting games got blamed for violence in the 90s. Getting real sick of the narrative they're spinning.

Republicans just took power.

Not unexpected at all.

We hired one of the worst people in the world to lead us. It's a stretch to call this unexpected.

Unexpectedly?

Yiyre kidding, right? I was quite literally waiting for this news. It never wss an if, just how bad

What's unexpected about it? We re-elected a twice impeached anti-democratic felon rapist who utterly failed his last term.

Every American who could rub brain cells together warned this would happen.

Unfortunately, those people represent a minority in The Divided States of Dumbfuckistan.

That article is carrying a lot of water for the Trump administration. Nobody knows why prices are going up!

Unexpectedly?

Unexpected by whom?

Good job on voting to cancel out Joe Biden’s monopoly breakup because he didn’t do it fast enough

“Unexpectedly”

If it’s anything to me, it’s unexpectedly low.

There's nothing unexpected about it. Have they not been paying fucking attention to what the Orange Jackass had been doing to is?

who ever wrote this article is a total moron. Unexpectedly? noo.

Shocked pikachu face

I fucking love how there is basically only one comment on this entire post

Unexpectedly by who!?

"Unexpectedly"? Everyone but the MAGA idiots expected it.

The only thing unexpected here is the bad headline. Simply using the first sentence would be more accurate and meaningful

Wait. Unexpectedly for who? I certainly expected it. Most people I've talked with are also not surprised.

Then those interviewed and writing this article are idiots. 2024 article.

Yet most mainstream economists say Trump’s policy proposals wouldn’t vanquish inflation. They’d make it worse. They warn that his plans to impose huge tariffs on imported goods, deport millions of migrant workers and demand a voice in the Federal Reserve’s interest rate policies would likely send prices surging.

Sixteen Nobel Prize-winning economists signed a letter in June expressing fear that Trump’s proposals would “reignite’’ inflation, which has plummeted since peaking at 9.1% in 2022 and is nearly back to the Fed’s 2% target. 

The Nobel economists noted that they aren’t alone in sounding the alarm.

Who could have expected this

Maaaybe tarrifs are not that great

Thank President Musk and his First Lad Trump.
