  1. 70% of Americans now disapprove of Trump's economic handling — the highest figure recorded across both terms. 77%, including 55% of Republicans, say his policies have driven up their cost of living. The "no new wars, prices will come down" platform that won 2024 is now its own receipt.

  5. Core inflation (removing food and energy) up at a 4.8% per year rate April/March. Total Consumer Price Inflation up at a 7.2% per year rate. And housing up at at a 7.2% per year rate as well! - Any chance of any even semi-benign glidepath back to 2.5% CPI-basis per year has been rudely interrupted by the rake-stepping of Donald Trump and his corrupt, cowardly minions.
