It is not really surprising that the folks at the Bulwark keep harking back to Trump’s promises during the 2024 presidential election campaign to bring prices down on day one given the Bulwark does not have a creatively maladjusted voice.
The Bulwark is not the only media citing Trump’s failure to lower prices, but the Bulwark comes to the forefront of my mind because JVL is disappointingly locked into the same ‘what everybody knows’, failing to apprehend the dark, four dimensional financial chess game Trump is engaged in to bring down prices.
Clearly, Trump’s election promise to bring prices down on day one was bombast and hyperbole given that bringing prices down across the board is a complex problem that requires time to put the required actions into motion and time for the effects of those actions to come to fruition.
