Remember, inflation continues to add on.
Yes, there was extremely high inflation early on in Biden's term because we had a global pandemic that Donald Trump completely bungled, but they don't seem to ever want to mention that fact.
All the people who were complaining about prices back then are suddenly oddly quiet.
I saw a funny tweet online today about this actually.
Because there was a viral tweet when Biden was president from an individual.
I think this person works at Real Clear Politics, which is like a right wing website.
And they were talking about their Outback Steakhouse bill.
And they were saying how bad inflation was.
People at all income levels notice it.
And they were talking about their $150 Outback delivery on DoorDash that they ordered.
And the reason why this became so viral back in the day, if you're looking at 6.7 million views on this tweet, is because they were complaining about their steak and lobster dinner prices being so expensive.
And so they said, I have two teenage boys, two bloomin' onions, a steak salad, lobster tails, a filet, a chicken sandwich, and a sirloin plus tip and tax.
$125 on DoorDash right now.
It is crazy.
That was December 13th, 2023.
And so I noticed somebody yesterday, they said, I randomly started thinking about this Bidenflation tweet back from December 2023.
So I downloaded DoorDash and I decided to put in the same items that they ordered and see the price.
And so that same order that was $125 that this guy was complaining about back in December 2023 came out to about $220.
Today, an 85% increase under Donald Trump, yet those same people who complained day in and day out during the Biden administration, suddenly, it's no problem, A-plus economy, everything is great.
