We ask ourselves how crazy can it get and it keeps getting crazier by the day. We have a sitting *president* who simply loves inflation. He told us that today. He loves it. The yous and mes are struggling with prices at the gas pump and in the grocery check out line but we have a guy in office who is not only oblivious to our plight, he enjoys it. He “loves the inflation.” Those cognitive tests need to be replaced by something else.
Reporter: Are you concerned, Mr. President, about the latest inflation number which came out this morning?
Trump: No, I love it. I love the inflation. pic.twitter.com/vktX6C9lbk

Naturally, the internet was gobsmacked, as you can well imagine.
“And Democrats just won the midterms,” Jessica Tarlov, co-host of Fox News show “The Five” and Raging Moderates with Scott Galloway, wrote on X.
“Trump really said, ‘I love the inflation.’ On camera. For all of America to hear. His contempt for you knows no bounds,” Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) wrote on X.
“Donald Trump just said ‘I love the inflation,’ while handing over another $70 billion to ICE thugs. This administration doesn’t care about working people,” Sen. Ed Markey (D-MA) wrote on X.
“‘I love the inflation.’ Woof,” entrepreneur and political strategist Mike Nellis wrote on X.
“‘I love the inflation.’ He never cared about lowering costs for Americans,” Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL) wrote on X.
“Trump on inflation: ‘I love it.’ People can’t afford to feed their families. Your struggle is a joke to him,” Democratic Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker wrote on X.
“Imagine if a political reporter decided to treat Trump’s brain-pudding ramblings seriously and wrote a story that led with ‘President declares ‘Love’ for Inflation’ and then asked prominent Republicans whether they also loved the 4.2% CPI increase,” Stan Oklobdzija, UC Riverside assistant professor of public policy, wrote on Bluesky.
“Whomst among us doesn’t love the inflation that knocks real wages down to where they started in January 2025,” Ben Zipperer, economist at the Economic Policy Institute, wrote on Bluesky.
Trump is truly oblivious in a way that only the rich can be. F. Scott Fitzgerald said, “The very rich are different from you and me.” Yes. This rich guy is completely disconnected from reality. Let’s see how MAGA responds to this one. Inflation hits them where they live.
What’s next for Trump? Trumpvilles? “I love Trumpvilles, they’re so cozy.” “Unemployment checks are free money, what are they bitching about?” Nothing is beneath this man.
I do not think it means what he thinks it means. He’s too Effing stupid.
