The Trump Economy has delivered record-low poverty rates AND big increases in incomes. We have a construction boom going on in America thanks to AI and data centers. There’s just one big sore thumb in the economy: high oil prices.

@mitchellvii Stocks at record highs. GDP at 5.1%. Real incomes at record highs. Poverty at record lows. Food inflation below 20yr average. Factories at 82% capacity. Crime at record lows. But... Trump approval- record lows. What am I missing?!

A rate increase does not increase oil supply. There I stated the obvious. An acceptable COA can be to do NOTHING when what you do will not solve a problem. The answer to how to lower inflation and not kill growth? Lies with 536 people that work in D.C., and none of them work in the Federal Reserve. $40T National Debt is why there ia higher inflation. Too many Federal dollars sloshing around in the economy. Make the dollar strong again 💪 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲 @POTUS

Can you get any governor to suspend the gas tax for Americans?

🚨Average price of oil barrel using constant dollars-NIXON 1968 through TRUMP 2🚨 📊Charts examine the average price per barrel during each administration from 1969-2026 using constant dollars. 💰Constant dollars are currency values adjusted for inflation to reflect the same purchasing power across different time periods. ➡️Trump 2 average is currently $85 which is lower than: Biden $98 Obama 1 $122 GW Bush 2 $115 Reagan 1 $102 Carter $118 **$4 over Obama 2 Lowest averages 📉 2000-2026: Trump 1 $46 GW Bush 1 $52 💵Trump 2 average will adjust during remaining term (2 yrs 3 mths). Brief context is noted for each Administrstion period in chart. ⛴️As Hormuz Strait traffic continues toward pre-conflict level (see tanker tracker) + Saudi-UAE-Iraq pipeline bypass,m stabilizes, pricing will improve. Additional wildcards: 🇷🇺🇺🇦are Ukraine-Russia war 🇳🇬Civil war conflict in Nigeria. 🛩️🚛All above are sources of middle sour crude which yield refined diesel and jet fuel. Historical averages yield perspective in “constant dollars” 👇👀

And flatline when those massive data centers poison everything around them and taking massive power draws while only requiring about a dozen long term staff.

Lowering interest rates puts more money in people's pockets. It's time to end the fed. The feds job is to keep people in debt and when they climb out of it, put them back in it.

Oil prices affect everything.

Replying to @StephenMoore
Perhaps you should have opined on what the price of oil would be if Iran succeeded in its attempt to attain a nuclear weapon. You think that might impact inflation?

Replying to @StephenMoore
Well lets talk about the increase in cost of goods, those income increases mean nothing. When the current dollar cannot buy as much.

Not for the working poor and lower middle class. Gas in AZ when Biden left office was $3.19/gallon, today under Trump it is $4.59/ gallon. Costs are up on food and other resources.

Don't get me wrong I want every one to prosper but is it real and long lasting. What about the debt and deficit? Does that not come into factor on the reduction of poverty? How real and sustainable are these statistics?
