Bombshell from Haberman and Swan:
Trump wanted the Epstein issue buried and snapped at anyone who mentioned it.
In the days before WSJ published that Epstein birthday book scoop, Trump tried to quash the story by calling Rupert Murdoch, News Corp.'s chief executive, and The Journal's editor in chief.
He failed. https://t.co/FRS0DNATAh
Never forget - inflation was TRENDING DOWNWARDS, trending towards the Fed’s target rate of 2%, and THE US ECONOMY WAS TRENDING TOWARDS NORMALIZATION FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE 2019
And the dumbest fucking people in the world voted for a guy who has completely single-handedly reversed those trends thru his own domestic and foreign policy decisions
BREAKING: May CPI inflation rises to 4.2%, the highest level since April 2023.
Core CPI inflation also rises to 2.9%, the highest since September 2025.
Inflation in the US is officially back above 4% and more than double the Fed's target.
Odds of Fed rate hikes are rising.
JUST IN: US inflation jumped to 4.2% (y/y) in May —>the highest in 3 years and up from 2.4% in February before the war in Iran.
Higher gas and energy prices drove 60% of the gain. Shelter and food (especially restaurants) also contributed. The monthly increase was 0.5%.
Core inflation (excluding food and energy) was 2.9% —>highest since September
I mean if we’re going to do this, why not just buy ads of Donald Trump on video saying he wants to rape kids or whatever? They wanna play the game, let’s play the game.
