The Orange Menace was asked if he was worried about the latest inflation numbers, and answered with the sort of accidental campaign ad Democrats usually have to edit together: "No, I love it. I love the inflation."
Inflation is not an abstraction when groceries, gas, flights, and everything else keep getting more expensive. But Trump's brain appears to have converted rising prices into another sales pitch. CBS reports he tied the number to the Iran war and said oil and gas would fall after the war ends, which is a lovely comfort if you enjoy paying more now for a promise from the man who made "infrastructure week" a punchline.
The inflation is so beautiful, sir. People are crying at the register.
