I would add something else to Mr. Stephens' point. President Trump's presidency looks more and more successful every day by comparison. Who wouldn't love to have those gasoline prices back? What mom wouldn't love to go grocery store shopping and pay Trump prices when putting items in the cart? People were better off under Trump's policies and I have not mentioned China running around the world or Iran making noises or Mexico turning more violent by the week.
NYT columnist Bret Stephens first noted the increased price of eggs and white bread. He added that the price of gasoline was "up 63 percent since January 2021, the month Biden became president."
"The news isn’t all that good. Americans are unsettled by things that are not always visible in headlines or statistics but are easy enough to see," Stephens wrote.
He also added that the White House was obviously not touting those numbers.
"The inflation ordinary people experience in everyday life is not the one the government prefers to highlight," he wrote.
Stephens also pointed to "the collapse of public order," the border crisis, concerns about his age and "a humiliating Afghanistan withdrawal."
"It's the economy, stupid, plus Afghanistan and the border too. So much seems to be out of tune, as my high school music teacher used to say. Or to use a baseball analogy, your fastball ain't fast anymore." . . .
Military readiness: By focusing on “white supremacy,” transgenderism, and DEI issues in the armed forces, Biden’s policies have contributed to a decline in U.S. military readiness and hamstrung recruiting efforts.
