According to new inflation numbers from the BLS, utilities and grocery prices are the biggest drivers of inflation
Washington, DC – Ahead of his speech today in Michigan, Trump scrambled to deflect blame for the energy crisis that he created with a rant on Truth social. Trump insists that he is bringing costs down, but new inflation numbers from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) show that soaring utility bills and food prices are the two main drivers of inflation. Instead of putting America first, Trump is diverting taxpayer dollars to foreign entanglements while driving up costs here at home by taking a sledgehammer to manufacturing projects that would have brought cheaper, cleaner energy onto the grid.
