Trump says 'I love the inflation' after CPI hits three-year high

financeJun 10, 2026995,723

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.

Betty💪22

Put it on a billboard

Stefan 🥼20

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

Nat Turner’s Slave Rebellion13

Anything that happens under Herr Shitler’s watch is the greatest anyone has ever seen, including inflation!

Angeleno Bob8

Says dude with six bankruptcies and a boatload of failed branded products.

Dirk Straun8

Wait until the federal reserve raises interest rates, then the clown isn't going to "love the inflation" quite so much.

hollyknj.bsky.social8

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!

DerMann517

Trump loves the Tariff extortions into his pocket. He doesn't give a shit about any of us, never has, never will.

angryralph.bsky.social7

Nah. They’ll just say “it’s locker room talk”

oligarchssuck.bsky.social6

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.

wickit411.bsky.social6

Trump loves it when he's making $billions more and the American people are suffering.

grammymae.bsky.social5

WOW...THIS isn't FOR him or ABOUT him but once again he rapes and pillages all that is ours.

Drew Burns5

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)

"I DISSENT"5

LOL! This conman is the stupidity that just keeps on giving!!

Guy B5

The ads for Democrats for the midterms are writing themselves every time he opens his fucking mouth.

Elizabeth Gormley4

I dunno. It’s almost as though he could shoot someone on 5th Avenue…

myaidog.bsky.social4

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!

foghornleghorn1357.bsky.social4

He's insane in the membrane.

Jessica Crabbit (she/her)4

Dems campaign ads are going to write themselves. Think of the money we'll save!

NYBob 💙4

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…

David M. Reiss, M.D.4

His "thoughts"/impulses rarely leave his genitalia, do they?

Rod4

I wouldn’t get too excited. They will be screaming “fake news” by 2300 EST.

David Reeves aka Photoline3

He means he loves the market swings he's creating with his perpetual lies about the state of the Iran War.

Dave Urban3

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?

lalalalinda.bsky.social3

Hopefully it registers with some of his supporters.. who are actually hurt the most by it....🤷‍♀️

thejoesmith.bsky.social3

He says so many conflicting things it doesn’t matter.

radiobill3

No one will need to hire consultants to help them with their advertising this year

OG SKATER3

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.

Democracy-Rising3

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.

The WEBBIX3

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

Grumpy Old Man2

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....

grannyvalkyrie.bsky.social2

Many of Trump's brain neurons have stopped functioning. He has forgotten that inflation and trade deficits are detrimental to our economy.

Lori 🇺🇦💩🐸👑2

The TV ads just write themselves. Right up there with - I don't care about Americans' financial situation.

SteveG2

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.

🇺🇸🇨🇦🐾✌2

Not surprising! HE DOESN'T CARE😖

anita72.bsky.social2

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.

Josh2

He has given D so much material to run in ads and I have zero confidence that they can take advantage of it

swampbabe81.bsky.social2

Affordability and corruption. That’s it, Democrats. DO NOT stray from this.

Bee Gutjahr2

They will also learn to love inflation.

Carrington Ward2

I’m guessing Iran is going to pounce on the fact that he called a Marine a thug.

Feathered Stone2

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.

Sherrie Van2

By 4:00 PM they’ll tell us it’s being taken out of context.

📚 John McAndrew 🌏🇺🇦2

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.

Blackbelt0102

Affordability is off the charts in America. Utilities (water, garbage,sewage), Natural Gas, Electricity, Gasoline, Groceries etc etc.

P Collirigger2

Who is the stupid person now?

APBAmlb19872

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.

acehannarules.bsky.social2

Another great Dem midterms ad!

FM2

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

Meh, I'm just a Canadian. What do I know?2

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?

🇨🇦 🏳️‍🌈 crucialwax 🔵2

He’ll have maga chanting that soon enough.

Charles Scott2

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.

BeaglesResist❌👑Release the trump-epstein files2

GOP operatives brought us trump. What did they expect?

donna6226.bsky.social2

the cult will now love the inflation

O'BrienP 🇺🇸 💔 💙 ☘️2

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.

Stearley2

Republikkkans want us to starve, or die from preventable illness, because we're just considered fuel in their slave economy

Demorcef2

When "I love the poorly-educated" ends up as "I love inflation".
