Corporate Media Prep To Blame Bidenflation On Trump Admin 2.0

Corporate media spent the entirety of the Biden administration running interference for the inflation caused by Democrats’ multi-trillion-dollar spending spree. As President-Elect Donald Trump prepares to take back the White House next month, however, the same propaganda press that pretended inflation didn’t exist are gearing up to blame price hikes and underwhelming job reports on the Republican.

“The evidence is increasingly clear that Donald Trump will inherit a healthy economy when he returns to the White House next month, albeit one with some soft spots,” Politico’s Friday Playbook PM claimed, citing the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ latest jobs report.

The blurb didn’t simply regurgitate President Joe Biden’s statement hailing the latest report as “America’s comeback.” It also conveniently glazed over the fact that the Democrat regime repeatedly took credit for hundreds of thousands of jobs that, after revisions, were determined inexistent.

Calling four years of incessant price hikes that Americans say are “killing” them a “soft spot” isn’t simply inaccurate. It’s deception — the same kind of deception the corporate media weaponized to benefit Democrats ahead of the 2024 election.

Over the last year specifically, the media claimed consumer price index increases were signs of “cooling” and “slowing” inflation. One month before Trump is set to take over, however, the press suddenly predict the November CPI is “signaling a stall in inflation’s steady decline.” Americans’ money, which the press assured the nation was flowing freely under Biden, will now be “affected” under Trump.

There is no denying that Democrats caused the record-high price hikes that have plagued Americans’ pockets for the last four years. The same media that downplayed the blue party’s role in the economic disaster and blamed grocery stores, however, have pivoted to tarring and feathering Trump’s economy before he’s even inaugurated.

According to Axios and a myriad of other outlets, Trump’s tariff plans will “all but assure a fresh spike in inflation.” While it’s true that across-the-board tariffs are an imperfect solution for the nation’s economic woes, they still have nothing on the destruction the Biden regime and wannabe Harris administration wreaked on Americans.

Outlets like Politico can try to blame the unfavorable statistics recorded under Biden on “major hurricanes and labor strikes,” but there’s no denying that the U.S. economy Trump will inherit is far from “healthy.” In fact, the economy is worse off now than it was around the first time Trump was elected.

Trump only performed as well as he did in November because voters were fed up with suffering under Bidenomics. After four years of paying premiums on everyday essentials that can be directly traced back to Democrats, Americans desperate for a change made the economy the “most important issue to 2024 presidential vote.”

Corporate media can try their best to artificially beautify Biden’s terrible economic track record, but the numbers don’t lie. If Americans weren’t fooled by the propaganda press’ inflation idiocy before the 2024 election, then they won’t fooled after it either.
