Listen рussy, you are a Seminole posting on a Clemson board because you couldn’t behave well and now you are crying because a word didn’t get filtered. You are the child
Cry more about it, plz. You unraveling because a few posters join that disagree with what you shitpost about is one of the most pathetic things I've seen. Maybe spend less time on this board and more time doing literally anything else. You're very clearly mentally unwell.
Who knew that Noles were so soft. Less than a week and I have them crying for Mommy.
Hey look its the guy who cried for the owner of the website to create a paywall so you could post without others countering your lack of logic.
What a weak little man.
Only person crying and name calling and having temper tantrums, is you. Not a single person Nole or Hawkeye is crying or upset about your third grader level postings. We are literally laughing at you.
There is your pre-school level post that started the interaction. Maybe that is an elite level post for the Noles, but at Clemson that is a retard level post. Don't be a retard.
And you will come to find out, I don't give a **** if you laugh at me. What a loser you are. What's next, you take away all my internet points? Get fvcked.

Are you a parody account? Because this is just incredible work my friend to write that as evidence of how you don’t care.
You care. This is basically you every single retort and everyone sees it:
He'll just put you on ignore because his feelings got hurt.
Expensive refers to the price of things. The price of things is higher under Trump than under Biden.
The chart is the rate of increase in the price of things. That rate is on the rise, but it is lower under Trump than it was at the height of Covid - which was also partially caused by Trump. And yes, Biden contributed heavily to inflation.
To sum it all up: you retweeted something very stupid.
The chart is inflation rates and it shows how even with a war blowing the price of gas up that inflation is still way below what it was under Biden. Inflation and prices will drop fast when the Iran situation is resolved.
Yes I know. The tweet said “Tell me again how expensive things are…”. Well, they are expensive and the prices are going up. Granted, they are just going up slower than in 2022, but they are going up. Face it, Trump has created this situation with his Iran folly. Just like he and Biden screwed up by doling out so much stimulus in Covid times.
Just in time for the midterms libs. Trump playing 5D chess while you guys are still trying to learn tic tac toe. 
He's just a piece of shite human, like the rest of MAGA
perfect post IMO....the reality is that Trump's inflation just raises prices higher than they were under Biden. Prices historically don't decrease to pre inflation levels...we just add costs to higher cost. Unless we get into a deflationary period and even meet the 2% inflation goal, prices under the next president will be higher than they are now...it's just math
Democrats wanted to give out more stimulus, they wanted to send out another round of checks.
Too much doled out? Fair argument. Democrats would have done less stimulus? No one is buying that argument.
Prices always go up. The stated goal is 2% inflation. We may have had slight deflation in ~2010 or so, but that’s the only time during our lifetimes I believe. So yes, prices will always go up. It’s just about how fast.
Any Dems that wanted to give out more stimulus were absolute morons.
You will find I don’t fit squarely on one team or the other when it comes to fiscal matters. My biggest issue is our federal debt so I’m just as likely to chastise Biden’s spending as I do Trump’s.
Oil down to $90 a barrel on Iran deal. Nasdaq index up 1.4%
Will the deal hold? hmmmm
Will the deal hold? hmmmm
Oil crashes as IEA supply gut predicted for next year. This would mean inflation would go lower and …… intwrwst rates would probably drop.
This is not good news for Democrats

don't you think this is one of the main reasons trump went with this MOU now. He needs the economy to be humming, inflation down by election time...
Of course. It is what it is. He didn’t want to get bogged down and perhaps rightfully so. May not have been the best decision to start the war, but at least we didn’t get drawn into a 10 year boondoggle. Yet.
Goldman now predicting oil flow to be back to pre-war levels by end of July.
The ending to this movie was so predictable

Ok. This is easy. Back in 2020, there was a massive supply chain crunch and global pandemic that kicked off a wave of inflation starting in 2020 and running up to 2022. Prices rose steadily from the inflationary pressure. The inflation rate fell steadily after 2022 down to 2.4% in 2024 and prices remained steady after that. Trump gained office with the promise of reducing grocery prices (somehow.....), America first/world peace, and justice for the Epstein victims, among other things.
Trump was elected, imposed tariffs that drove up prices. started wars that drove up prices, and the inflation rate has also risen to 4.2% along with a surge in price increases. Prices are higher now than they were in 2024 or 2022. Hope that helps.
Is this trending the right way?
- May 2026: 4.20%
- April 2026: 3.80%
- March 2026: 3.30%
- February 2026: 2.40%
- January 2026: 2.40%
This is not rocket science. Its common sense why inflation went up. Hoping it starts moving down quickly now withe the MOU in place. Oil dropping fadt already.
Biden was handed an economy in crisis (similar to Obama and Clinton) and successfully recovered it.
Inflation was lower when he left office than when he started. Unemployment was lower at the end than when he started. In fact, we hit record low unemployment under Biden. The stock market recovered and did well. The job market recovered. Then Trump took over to "save us". Prices are higher now including gas. I know the MAGAs like to compare price points with 2022 (bless their hearts) but compare to 2024. You know, when Biden was still there and was four years in. Inflation is rising steadily. The stock market is at all time highs but growth is slow.
9 out of the 10 biggest single day point drops in DOW history were under Trump. Most of them were in 2020 with one in 2025.
Trump, at best, will be about on par with the Biden economy after he ends his term and well behind Obama/Clinton/Reagan.
It should be common sense but political narratives cloud the issue. Global pandemic, supply chain crunch with hard rebound, and stimulus spending. Most of that damage was done in 2020 and the inflation spike started then. That inflation was going to happen regardless of who won the 2020 election.
Fortunately, Congress passed the Inflation Reduction Act to reduce it.
Right, and they also passed the Affordable Care Act,... The names of these bills don't reflect what they actually do.
