Trump says 'I love the inflation' after CPI hits three-year high
President Donald Trump told reporters "I love the inflation" after the Labor Department reported the consumer price index rose to a three-year high. He said inflation would fall once the U.S. war against Iran ends and claimed "we've been taking out millions of barrels of oil," adding that U.S. forces seized Iranian oil shipments, including 22 ships taken "late at night with no lights." The comments frame higher consumer prices as an acceptable trade-off for aggressive foreign policy and raise questions about administration priorities as Americans face rising costs for gas, food, and health care.
Trump just said “I love the inflation.” The gasp among GOP operatives registered on the Richter scale
Except Speaker Johnson who will feign ignorance
That clip will be in EVERY Dem campaign ad lol. #moron
Maga will never hear that quote. It will not be played in the media they consume.
I’m sick of having a fake president who seems to have narcolepsy 24/7. The GOP can choke on their gasps. They are to blame for all this.
Put it on a billboard
That’s how far we’ve come as a nation. We employ a president who is happy when Americans can’t afford shit.
Sometimes the ads write themselves
Anything that happens under Herr Shitler’s watch is the greatest anyone has ever seen, including inflation!
Says dude with six bankruptcies and a boatload of failed branded products.
Wait until the federal reserve raises interest rates, then the clown isn't going to "love the inflation" quite so much.
I give it 24 hours until the GOP members of Congress start going on CNBC and Fox to explain why inflation is a good thing!
Trump loves the Tariff extortions into his pocket. He doesn't give a shit about any of us, never has, never will.
Nah. They’ll just say “it’s locker room talk”
I was talking to a MAGAT. He said it is so unfair that Black people and gay people get a month to celebrate. Why do veterans only get one day? When I told him that our Veterans rightfully received two full months each year to be honored….. he walked away monitoring how great dozy Donnie is.
Trump loves it when he's making $billions more and the American people are suffering.
WOW...THIS isn't FOR him or ABOUT him but once again he rapes and pillages all that is ours.
Inflation IS great for people who own stuff, especially those who borrowed money to own stuff (aka billionaires). It's only awful for those of us who consume stuff, and especially those of us who borrow money to consume stuff (aka everyone else)
LOL! This conman is the stupidity that just keeps on giving!!
The ads for Democrats for the midterms are writing themselves every time he opens his fucking mouth.
I dunno. It’s almost as though he could shoot someone on 5th Avenue…
Congress: remember Blanche is the one who privately interviewed Ghislaine Maxwell & moved her to a ‘club Fed’ detention center, ignored the law to release all Epstein Files, & proposed giving Trump a $1.8 B Slush Fund that would pay J6 idiots that attacked police. Do Not Approve Him!
He's insane in the membrane.
Dems campaign ads are going to write themselves. Think of the money we'll save!
Pretty much certain that guarantees the Democrats win the Primaries. And I’m OK with that He just can’t get any dumber. But wait…
His "thoughts"/impulses rarely leave his genitalia, do they?
I wouldn’t get too excited. They will be screaming “fake news” by 2300 EST.
He means he loves the market swings he's creating with his perpetual lies about the state of the Iran War.
To me, that is the proof that this is dementia and not just Trump being Trump. He gets worse every day. If this is just the same old Trump, who predicted that he would say "I love inflation" today? When has he said he loves inflation before?
Hopefully it registers with some of his supporters.. who are actually hurt the most by it....🤷♀️
He says so many conflicting things it doesn’t matter.
No one will need to hire consultants to help them with their advertising this year
The monster is a result of 50 years of republican politics, right wing rage radio, misogynist rhetoric, bigotry and demonizing Democrats. He’s just capitalized on it to seize power.
He's adding thoughts for a complete confession. He said last week that he doesn't care about the financial stress Americans are enduring, and now adding that he loves that he is dumping higher inflation on We The People.
If he likes inflation all he needs to do is look down.
With Dumbold Trump focusing on vanity projects or an ill-advised war of choice with Iran, the consequences for typical Americans are never considered. For all of his aspersions on “elites”, he’s clueless to what families face daily. But he doesn’t care either. #CantAffordTrump
And all the GOP operatives have already started spinning it so fast the earth is now rotating backwards.... and his cult will never hear about it on fox....
Many of Trump's brain neurons have stopped functioning. He has forgotten that inflation and trade deficits are detrimental to our economy.
The TV ads just write themselves. Right up there with - I don't care about Americans' financial situation.
If you are unable to fix runaway inflation because you are an idiot trapped in an idiotic war you idiotically started, then just declare that inflation is actually great! It will work on the 30% stupidest Americans. Aka MAGA.
Not surprising! HE DOESN'T CARE😖
That should be in the ad of every Democrat. Republicans run on conspiracy theories and culture wars because they have no accomplishments to be proud of.
He has given D so much material to run in ads and I have zero confidence that they can take advantage of it
Affordability and corruption. That’s it, Democrats. DO NOT stray from this.
They will also learn to love inflation.
I’m guessing Iran is going to pounce on the fact that he called a Marine a thug.
Republicans are against it until they’re for it. They will do whatever Trump tells them to do if trump loves inflation then Republicans love in inflation.
By 4:00 PM they’ll tell us it’s being taken out of context.
Why? Don't they know that, for his followers, 30+ % of the populace, he can say nothing indefensible? It's as if he's Scripture and they're fundamentalists.
Affordability is off the charts in America. Utilities (water, garbage,sewage), Natural Gas, Electricity, Gasoline, Groceries etc etc.
Who is the stupid person now?
Trump slips in a little honesty from time to time. Inflation is just us giving more money to the billionaires. Of course they love it.
Another great Dem midterms ad!
inflation is a good way for corporations to price gouge that is why the wealthy banks liked the housing crisis - so many foreclosures meant opportunities to purchase discount properties
Pfffft, who cares about anythig from the gop. They are bloody hypocrites. They haven't stood for anything, other than staying quiet and supporting the orange piss baby breaking every law he can and stealing. At this point do we really care about their reactions to anything?
He’ll have maga chanting that soon enough.
Of course he said that: he has to normalize it so the MAGA faithful believe it's good for them and are reminded that he cares so deeply about them.
GOP operatives brought us trump. What did they expect?
the cult will now love the inflation
During 2024 presidential campaign trump consistently criticized Biden administration for elevated inflation levels. trump stated these rising costs were due to excessive government spending & specific energy policies.
Republikkkans want us to starve, or die from preventable illness, because we're just considered fuel in their slave economy
When "I love the poorly-educated" ends up as "I love inflation".
Trump loves inflation. The NYT just exposed the Epstein Situation Room freakout. We’re bombing water supplies in Iran. And the 2026 midterms are taking shape. It’s a lot. Read the full recap.
Republican, Ashley Hinson, adores Trump. Iowan running for US Senate wants to be Trump’s top ally in the Senate. 💙Vote Josh Turek💙
He’s wishing for world peace 🤡 bsky.app/profile/midd...
Property developers love inflation. Inflation makes real estate prices go up.
Since re-election, Trump and his family of thugs have made billions. Are you tired of the winning yet? www.cnn.com/2026/06/10/e...
Still not on either the NYT or WaPo homepages: Trump: "I love inflation"
it is here on NYT homepage under the White House Again Shrugs of High Prices Amid War With Iran story
It should be a banner headline. Along with Trump's claim that the US has a massive hoard of Iranian oil.
But this dreck is on the front page of the NY Times. Ugh!
I don't want to just assume that this would be on the WaPo and the NYT homepages if Joe Biden said that he loved inflation. That would be presumptuous, even if it's one of the safest assumptions in the entire world.
And if Biden said it? Those papers’ headquarters might actually self-combust with the energy generated by the zeal to cover the story.
Democrats should play this over and over.
Both run by members of the Epstein class.
You have to scroll down a bit on Google News, but Yahoo Finance has it as a headline.
Object lesson in @mtsw.bsky.social They are doing what they can to manage his bad press They are his flacks, as authentic as chaff
We dont need our own Joe Rogan. We need our own New York Post
“I love the inflation” is something I never thought I’d hear a politician say…
You're going to hear it a lot between now and November.
Trump gonna bring back Gerald Ford's WIN buttons except it'll stand for "Want Inflation Now"
Right up there with “grab ‘em by the p%#*y”
Trump has a textbook case of ODD, usually seen in toddlers who scream “NO!!” at any suggestion. Since everyone else doesn’t like inflation, his natural reflex is to embrace it.
We need a video of Melania saying "I love the inflation"
Honestly, it’s like he’s trying to help me write my next #NoKings protest sign.
Americans can’t afford groceries. Trump is waging a war in Iran. Inflation just hit a 3-year high. Reporter asks Trump if he’s concerned. Trump’s response: “No, I love it. I love the inflation.” This is real. This happened today. 🙃 #USDemocracy #Pinks newrepublic.com/post/211629/...
In 2 days he will deny he said it
He's just going to say he did not say that later... and they'll believe him.
I think we are finding out who the "stupid person" is.
and the market is down almost 800 points at 3 pm
Next hear MAGA echo “we love inflation too!” Because it’s a cult.
Are you concerned about the inflation number that came out this morning? Trump: “I love the inflation.”
Every single democrat who's running for office needs to put this into their messaging campaign this election cycle. Then going forward democrats need to pull this gem out every election cycle for the next 20 years to remind people the GOP isn't your friend and they're bad at running the economy.
Call me old-fashioned, but I prefer presidents who don't love inflation. Besides, What kind of president (hint; only a psycho or demented one) says he loves inflation? It's eating us alive out here.
Example 5,642 of evidence of dementia.
Every single repub needs to be told he said that and then asked if they like inflation as well. Priceless.
He is sooooo stupid, he thinks inflation only means more sales revenue for his large corporate benefactors. He is fucking clueless, ignorant, and unconcerned about who actually pays for the sales gouging by his oligarchs.
