The Republican Party is now trying to accomplish something unheard of in Western civilization – hold power indefinitely while accepting responsibility for absolutely nothing. Including massive infighting that has pitted numerous Senators against Trump, with John Thune even taunting him.
The GOP has been in control of the U.S. House for nearly four years and the Presidency and Senate for nearly two. And yet the Republicans are going into the midterms blaming the ongoing economic problems on Joe Biden, not on Trump’s tariffs, corruption, and wars.
Recently, on Fox Business News, Pat Fallon (R-TX) answered a question about the affordability crisis and energy shocks by declaring, “Sure, Joe Biden and the democrats did that. Affordability takes a few years to kick in.” Huh? At the end of Joe Biden’s term, inflation stood at 3%. Now, under Trump, inflation stands at 3.5%. In May under Trump, inflation reached a three-year peak of 4.2%.
