"Fox News personalities are panicking about President Trump’s economy. Fox’s Maria Bartiromo, who has begun loudly sounding the alarm about Trump’s tariffs, lost patience with a Trump official on Tuesday, and walked through the reasons why business leaders are unhappy with the chaos Trump has unleashed."

~ Greg Sargent

"In two months, the United States has experienced the worst outbreak of measles in decades. The stock markets have suffered heavy losses. Prices of household items and food have risen.

In two months, the United States has become more of a pariah than a partner concerning human rights, global security, environmental protection, and goodwill."

As The Guardian reports, Mr. Trump addressed topics of recession and inflation today, stating, "It should be great for us":

"Donald Trump on Sunday refused to rule out the possibility that the US economy will head into recession this year and that inflation will rise, as his chaotic trade tariffs policy cause uncertainty and market turbulence."

"It’s fair to say that these high egg prices have become a symbol of how Trump’s focused on just about everything BUT this 'Day One' promise. And how that promise is badly broken—and with his erratic tariff and other policies, will likely get a lot worse before it gets better.

So faced with this broken promise, how does Trump respond?

Yesterday, he posted on article whose headline was: 'Shut Up About Egg Prices.'”

"He has also gutted the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), which forced companies engaged in fraud to repay billions of dollars to consumers.

Second, how dare he! Trump ran a fraudulent campaign on the premise that he would bring down prices (which were already going down under Biden) on day one and that he would make a peace deal in Ukraine before he even took office—or in 24 hours."

"It’s Sunday, and Trump is saying we all need to 'shut up.' Seriously. He just posted a headline that reads: 'Shut up about egg prices—Trump is saving consumers billions.'

First, he is causing consumers to lose 'trillions,' not 'save billions.' Trump has tanked the markets, causing trillion-dollar losses to 401(k)s and pensions."

“'All told, for example, the prices of computers and electronic goods are estimated to rise by more than 10%, clothes by 7.5% and cars by 6.1%,' former car czar Steven Rattner explained. 'The CEO of Target has said that produce prices (we get a lot from Mexico) could rise in the next several days. The CEO of Ford has said that tariffs would ‘blow a hole’ in the auto industry.'”

The Contrarian · Trump's Economic TrainwreckBy Jennifer Rubin
Continued thread

As Sarah Longwell, Tim Miller, and Jonathan V. Last note, Trump campaigned by harping on the economy and inflation, to gin up anger among potential voters, then dropped the subject like a hot potato. Because he cannot bring prices down, never intended to do so, and has no plan to do so. His interest is in encriching himself and cronies.

But voters willingly drank the Kool-Aid.

Meanwhile:

"Higher prices have been the dominant issue for the last few years and concerns aren’t going anywhere. Instead of fighting to lower prices, Trump raised costs. This was his decision and his decision alone. Any fair-minded analyst will call nonsense."
