Reuters: Back-to-back strong inflation readings would escalate political risk for President Donald Trump and his Republican party ahead of November's midterm elections. Trump won re-election in 2024 in large part because of his promise to reduce inflation, but Americans have soured on his handling of the economy and many blame him for the pain at the pump.
My Opinion: The president is leading an illegal and unethical war against Iran. And he has broken his promise to reduce inflation. He can't be trusted to keep his promises. He cares more for suppressing his enemies, whether domestic or international, than for the impact of his actions and policies on consumers and workers. He must be held fully accountable.
The president must be held accountable for breaking his promise to reduce inflation

Inflation is the printing of money, for which the Federal Reserve is responsible. The President is responsible for tariffs and supply shocks that increase cost.
Inflation and price increases are separate things.
