Gas prices have shot up more than 50 percent since the war started February 28

Donald Trump said he loves inflation Wednesday in response to a question about the latest federal report showing inflation climbed past 4 percent for the first time in three years.

“I love it; the numbers were great,” Trump said. “You know what I really love? I love the inflation.”

The bizarre moment punctuated the administration’s minimization of the country’s affordability crisis, a crisis that is getting worse, according to Wednesday’s Consumer Price Index.

No he probably wouldn't be, because he's not senile and hard to control

Yeah, but no one is scared of him. He can’t make everyone do what he says. And he’s a complete idiot.
