    For all you inflation heads out thereā€¦

    US M0 money supply was $3.6T in January 2017 when Trump took office.

    It was $5.25T in Jan 2021 when he left office, a 45% increase in the money supply.

    As of December 2023 it was $5.83T, an 11% increase under Biden.

    So if weā€™re saying increased money supply caused inflation, the Trump admin is about 4x more responsible for it than the Biden admin.

      I donā€™t think Iā€™ve seen anyone saying he caused inflation. Just that heā€™s trying to tell everyone he won the economy and everything is back to normal. There are multiple articles now with his allies and staffers wondering why the people arenā€™t on board with that message.
