Corporate Media Prep To Blame Four Years Of Bidenflation On Second Trump Administration
If Americans weren’t fooled by the propaganda press’ inflation idiocy before the 2024 election, then they won’t fooled after it either.If Americans weren’t fooled by the propaganda press’ inflation idiocy before the 2024 election, then they won’t fooled after it either.Democrats mock Americans struggling to afford groceries
In a since-deleted post on X, Democrats on the Ways and Means Committee mocked Americans who are struggling to afford high grocery costs.
The account responded to an article on X that found that consumers had spent a record $10.8 billion on Black Friday online shopping. Despite the economic hardship many Americans have endured over the last four years, Democrats dished out a tone-deaf response.
Much of the inflationary spending came from the Biden-Harris administration and Democrat-approved legislation.
"And here we were thinking y'all couldn't afford eggs!" the account said in the now-deleted post.

The post failed to mention the economic turmoil many Americans have actually experienced. For example, the cost of eggs jumped from $1.74 per dozen in 2020 to $3.82 in 2024, according to data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Eggs are not the only commodity that has been affected by cost increases and inflation. The cost of groceries overall has skyrocketed over the last four years. In 2020, food inflation increased by 3.9%, compared to 6.3% in 2021, 10.4% in 2022, 2.7% in 2023, and 2.1% in 2024, according to the BLS.
Inflation affected not just the cost of food, but also the cost of living. Monthly inflation peaked under the Biden-Harris administration at 9.1% in June 2022. Although it has since subsided, inflation reached a multi-decade, record-breaking high of 8% in 2022.
Much of the inflationary spending came from the Biden-Harris administration and Democrat-approved legislation.
In July of this year, the national debt surpassed $35 trillion for the first time in American history. The Biden-Harris administration at the same time approved the American Rescue Plan and the Inflation Reduction Act, which respectively approved $1.9 trillion and $750 billion in spending.
The consequences were felt by Americans. Poll after poll leading up to the election showed that the most important issue for voters was the economy and inflation. At the same time, respondents indicated that they were worse now than they were four years ago and overwhelmingly trusted former President Donald Trump to handle the economy over his Democratic challenger.
This sentiment was ultimately reflected at the polls where Trump secured a historic landslide victory. Despite the tremendous loss Democrats endured, it appears they have not yet learned from their mistakes.

The New York Times’ David Brooks Is Either Stupid Or Dishonest. He Should Be Fired Either Way
Democrats are doing everything to explain their election wipeout but admit that Joe Biden’s presidency and all of the party’s disastrous policies were a wreck. Because the national news media are first and foremost dedicated to helping Democrats, they’re doing the same thing. New York Times conservative columnist who always votes Democrat David Brooks is […]Nixon Can Teach Trump About The Pitfalls Of Revenge Politics
The same types of angry diversions that consumed Democrats over the past eight years could easily undo Republican governance.Here’s How The Media Are Lying Right Now: They ‘Missed The Mood’ Of The Election
Nobody can be mad at Democrat leaders for not admitting until after the election how terrible they’ve been. But their champions and enablers in the national news media can truly go directly to hell for it. CNN’s top propagandist, Brian Stelter, who self-identifies as a media analyst, devoted an entire edition of his daily rag […]MSNBC's Joe Scarborough shocked to finally learn how inflation impacts grocery prices: 'Butter is $7?!'
MSNBC host Joe Scarborough was flabbergasted when he found out how much inflation has affected the price of butter in the United States, as the network comes to grips with Vice President Kamala Harris' election loss.
On his talk show "Morning Joe," Scarborough recalled an instance when he was speaking to a Harris voter who told him Donald Trump was going to win the presidency simply due to the unaffordability of groceries.
"A few weeks ago ... somebody who was going to be voting for Kamala Harris came up to me and said, 'Oh my God, Trump's going to win. ... I go to the grocery store, [and] butter is over $3,'" Scarborough recalled.
The host said he sort of laughed and thought to himself that the person's argument was kind of "reductive."
'What, is it framed in gold?'
It was at that point, Scarborough's wife and co-host, Mika Brzezinski, interrupted to tell him that the butter she buys is actually more than double that price.
"It's $7. ... I'm just saying it's 7,” she stated as they somewhat spoke over each other.
"What's that?" Scarborough asked.
Finally cluing in to what he heard, Scarborough looked shocked as he stopped dead in his tracks.
"Butter is $7!?" he asked.
"Yeah," Brzezinski calmly replied.
"What, is it framed in gold?" Scarborough said as his panel laughed.
"Yeah, it depends on where you go," his wife reiterated.
As the segment went on, it became clear that MSNBC and its hosts are either slowly figuring out that Americans are fed up with the high cost of living, or the network has finally decided to discuss the reality of the average consumer now that the election is over.
Part of these network revelations included an NBC News exit poll that showed how much worse Americans view their financial situation in 2024 compared to previous election years.
For 2024, 46% of those polled felt they were worse off financially than in 2020. In 2020, that number was just 20%.
For 2016, the same question saw 27% say they were worse off, while 33% said the same in 2012.
This was followed by a different exit poll showing how Americans have suffered as a result of inflation.
Respondents were asked how inflation has affected them and their families.
Three-quarters of Americans said that they have suffered either moderate (53%) or severe hardship (22%) due to inflationary costs, while less than a quarter (24%) said they felt "no hardship at all."
Scarborough would go on to state that when looking at the current cost of groceries and gasoline compared to 2020, it must have been a very easy choice for the majority of Americans to vote Trump.

Trump’s Reelection Is The Most Inspiring Political Comeback Of All Time
Trump’s landslide reflects a triumph over the lockdowns, inflation, and division that defined the Biden era.Donald Trump’s victory is a beacon of hope across the world
Millions of people around the world were holding their breath last night. I've talked to Europeans to try to get a bead on what’s happening over there. There are Europeans like you and me who are frustrated with their own globalist, tyrannical bureaucracies telling them how to live and what to believe. If Donald Trump didn’t win, where in the world would they look to for hope that this madness would stop? Which leader could they count on to stand in the gap against their globalist elites? They, too, had a lot on the line in our election last night.
But today brings hope, not only in America but for freedom-loving people worldwide.
We need to restore the balance of power in the federal government — the way America’s founders intended.
We know Trump is going to stop the madness at the southern border. He is going to deport serial criminals and sex offenders who entered our country under Biden and Harris' watch. The media will try to convince you that deportations are something akin to Hitler, but they turn a blind eye to their Democratic predecessors who have deported even more illegal immigrants than Trump. In fact, Bill Clinton deported more illegal immigrants than any president in U.S. history, shipping 11 million out of the country in the 1990s. In contrast, Trump deported less than a million during his first term, which is even less than the 1.8 million under the Obama administration.
Deportations of criminals who are in our country illegally is critical to protecting the safety of the American people, a practice that has been exercised by presidents for decades.
Our friends across the pond have been witnessing the destruction of their societies since EU globalists opened Europe's floodgates to immigrants in 2015. Crime is rampant, communities governed by Sharia law are multiplying, and their social programs are being pushed to a breaking point. Tuesday night gave them reason to hope. America is going to say, "No more," and perhaps this will be the rallying cry for our European brothers-in-arms to stand up as well.
The election was also a major blow to draconian globalist organizations. The United States will no longer be beholden to the Paris Climate Accords. Our nation will no longer give credence to the World Economic Forum. We won’t give the World Health Organization a single penny more. All these very well-planned globalist initiatives are going away.
But Trump can't act alone. Thank God we won the Senate. This is an incredible step forward, but for these big plans to come to fruition, we need the House. If the Republicans — actual freedom-loving, Constitution-abiding Republicans — don't have the House, you’re not going to be able to get things done except by executive order, which we don’t want to do. One reason things were so bad during the last four years is that Joe Biden simply signed executive orders to reverse everything that Trump accomplished, completely bypassing Congress. We have to do it the right way. We need to restore the balance of power in the federal government — the way America’s founders intended.
One of the most hopeful things Trump said Tuesday night is that we’re going to enter a new golden era in America. I believe him. He could have said that in 2020, and I wouldn't have believed him as much as I believe him now. That’s because Trump now has a team of people that's not exclusively comprised of politicians.
Bringing in somebody like Elon Musk is one of the most hopeful things for our country I've witnessed in my lifetime. I know that guy can cut spending. I know he will find the waste in our government because he's not a government guy — he's a businessman. He's going to slash all the redundancies that have been justified by career bureaucrats for decades. We have a chance of cutting our budget and creating a reasonable one.
Trump’s promise to cut regulations also spells hope for our country. He cut more regulation in his first term than any other president, but Biden and Harris have since added a mountain of rules. He will have his work cut out for him, but he will get it done. He must if this economy will roar again.
We could have a true rebirth of freedom and the American dream, and I find that really hopeful. So many Americans are tired of worrying about their kids struggling and seeing Bidenomics and regulation yank from their children's hands the possibility of the American dream that they attained. Donald Trump is the biggest chance of bringing it back.
Today, I’m filled with hope. Real, tangible hope. And you should be, too.
