The communication from the Trump WH was often times clumsy and unpolished. Additionally, the whole "he didnt mean that literally"-defense only worked when a more charitable alternative interpretation was available. This is not the case here. And last but not least, it's absolutely moronic to bring up the topic of consumer price inflation. Politically speaking, that's the very last topic the Biden WH should be talking about.

its “transitory” - so says the economic academic/lifelong political geniuses that gave us the great recession and the concept of negative interest rates. so what if prices went up 300+% over the past 6-9 months, they’re only up 10% this month! and some are even down 5%!

e: from that same tweet in the replies. save $0.16 on a hotdog but if you want any sort of beef:

If we take it literally this is totally true. He isn't saying all prices are lower after all.

The truth is you and others went out if your way to interpret it in the most favorable light. If Trump had posted this can you really say with a straight face that Void would have brought it up at all? We both know he wouldn't, and he probably would have actively defended it.

That's a lot of what if.

Not really. Because Trump said way worse and way more obviously false things and they still defended him.

Compared to Trump's twitter, this is like a 0.5/10. Not even enough to register.

Oh, we weren't having a debate. I was stating a position backed up with incontrovertable facts, and you could only respond with "conjecture durrrr!". If you want to debate you're going to have to grow at least 40 more IQ points.
