Deep dives
Trump's Economic Policy and Media Response
The discussion highlights the perception that inflation will be a consequence of Donald Trump's economic policy rather than simply a monetary phenomenon as posited by Milton Friedman. Critics in the media are linking potential inflation to Trump's plans, contrasting this with their prior optimism when Joe Biden took office. Many media outlets previously dismissed inflation concerns during Biden's presidency, fostering skepticism about their current narrative on Trump. This perceived flip-flopping has led to accusations of bias and wishful thinking among those who believe Trump’s economic proposals will not lead to drastic price increases.
