    Inflation accelerated in June as President Trump’s tariffs
    started to leave a bigger imprint on the economy, keeping the
    Federal Reserve on track to hold interest rates steady when
    policymakers next meet this month.

    The Consumer Price Index rose 2.7 percent from a year earlier, the
    swiftest pace since February, data released by the Bureau of Labor
    Statistics showed on Tuesday. That is slightly higher than
    expected and up from an annual pace of 2.4 percent in May.

    “Core” inflation, which strips out volatile food and energy
    prices and is seen as a reliable gauge for underlying price
    pressures, also shifted higher. Those prices were up 2.9 percent
    from the same time last year.

    Over the course of the month, prices rose 0.3 percent, a notable
    pickup from a 0.1 percent increase in May. Core prices rose 0.2
    percent.

    *Just* as predicted by all economists and business analysts.

    Tariffs are mostly a de facto regressive tax, and Trump's white
    trash & minority base is going to at least start wondering, if only
    unconsciously, here soon if the 10 or so transgender athletes
    competing at the NCAA level was really *that* big of deal?!!

    Trump supporters — the knuckle-dragging racist Trumpswabs — have
    never complained about Trump doing nothing for them. He validates
    their racist sense of white grievance while fucking them up the ass
    on substantive matters. That's all that matters to them.

    “If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the
    best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell,
    give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for
    you.” ~~ Lyndon B. Johnson

    Other than ""trump wins"

    Trump wins, and it cannot be overstated.

    That's right, Trump makes Democrats act like idiots.
