Yeah. I see what you did.
You posted a graph where that entire huge catastrophic rise in the graph all happened under your guy.
Nice self-own. Congratulations. Pat yourself on the back.

Meanwhile, in reality: Inflation isn't ZERO. Even in the best of times it's not zero. It's always building on previous inflation. That's why it's so fucking devastating when we get an idiot like yours in there who was putting up high single digit numbers for a few years... because all of that gets compounded upon in the future along with the regular 2% FED target.
Inflation numbers haven't gone below 2%, but they've been under 3%, which is something Joe* can never say.
The only way food prices go back down now is if carting the food gets around cheaper from lower prices at the gas pump. That only happens if you Democrats get the fuck out of the way.

I see that you have still neglected to address your graph.
The media did. The media tried wiping any trace that it put it up there in the first place over the weekend, after Trump simply tweeted back out the same graph with all the price rising during the Biden* years highlighted.
Did you notice that. Did you know that's how they handled it, Ted?
Or did this already become something you forgot when you watched your clickbait video(s) of the day for breakfast this morning before deciding on what headline you were going to post about today without having read or understood anything in the article(s)?
In the business, we call this an Unforced Error...
It's pretty funny watching the media itself doing it, but I find it infinitely more amusing when you specifically did so yourself.
That thing between your ears that you hardly ever use is supposed to be your bullshit filter for things like this, Ted. One glance at that graph should have made you know how bad you would look posting it anywhere along with the message that was going along with it.
But that part of your brain doesn't work anymore. That filter is gone.
This is just rare SOLID PROOF that the above statement is true.
They've grown a lot more blatant with lying over time, but it now appears that we've stumbled into new desperate territory where they're going to order you to throw me softballs like these....
Heh.
Good luck.

Does everybody understand this? Not just Ted.
This is important. I don't think it should be buried along with all the other shit we "discuss" in here everyday.

I am doing my absolute best to try to find some "neutral" coverage on this topic, but I can't find any.
I thought I'd lucked into one with AOL showing it 15 hours ago, but that is just a link to a Daily Caller article on the topic. As far as I can tell, the New York Post is the only Legacy Media paper to report on it, and Fox News (of course) is reporting on it while CNN and MSNBC were silent.
Here's the links. AOL and NYP:

https://nypost.com/2025/07/24/us-news/democratic-party-effort-to-highl
ight-record-high-grocery-prices-completely-backfires/
You can see the idea/story was pretty close to the idea/story they were trying to get Ted to believe and pass on, but slightly altered to CPI and not the exact graph that the President destroyed with a single wordless tweet 4 days ago.
This is our problem. A large portion of our media refuses to report on certain truths everyday while another large portion of our media refuses to report on other truths everyday. (Forget about the fact that a large portion of our citizens don't understand even the basics of inflation or they tend to conveniently forget all about them when it suits their argument).
The easiest lies to get away with are lies by omission. Especially when you have a captivated audience who isn't interested in going out of their way to debunk anything you have to say to them.
Not only that, but lying by omission is also the SAFEST way to lie. Then when you get caught doing it, you can tell people that you didn't lie and you just didn't have all the facts at the time. "Oh. We didn't know. It was a mistake."
They seem to make a lot of mistakes.

Las Vegas’s tipped workers say their income has fallen by more than half as tourism plunges
Las Vegas workers have seen their income from tips plunge by as much as 50% — despite the recently passed no tax on tips law — as tourism to Sin City takes a hit from President Trump’s global trade war.
“No tax on tips, that’s a rad thing. But it doesn’t really do us much good if there isn’t any people to get tips from,” Charlie Mungo, a 36-year-old tattoo artist in downtown Las Vegas, told the Wall Street Journal.
Mungo said he has made about $1,500 a month in recent months.
He added that Canadian customers, who made up about 30% of his clientele, have vanished.
“We’re all starting to freak out,” he told the Journal.
