Democrats have a new desperate strategy. And it will be fun to watch it play out just like their immigration strategy has so far.
Believe it or not, Democrats want to blame Trump for “Bidenflation”: a term they’d rather not acknowledge but can’t escape. In an act of stunning audacity, they’re accusing Trump of failing to fix the economy in his first week back in office.
Under Joe Biden’s administration, the price of eggs and other groceries soared, thanks to runaway inflation, supply chain disruptions, and the administration’s war on American energy. Yet, according to MSNBC and their Democratic allies, the fact that egg prices haven’t plummeted in Trump’s first week is somehow his fault. Headlines like Newsweek’s “Trump Promised Cheaper Eggs – Can He Crack It?” suggest that voters expect miracles—or at least, Democrats hope they do.
The Cost of Bidenflation
Let’s not forget how we got here. Under Biden, inflation soared to its highest levels in four decades. The Federal Reserve, forced to play catch-up, raised interest rates aggressively, causing ripple effects throughout the economy. Families felt the pinch at the gas pump, the grocery store, and in their heating bills. While the Fed bears some responsibility for not acting sooner, the root cause was Biden’s reckless spending and energy policies.
Enter Trump. In his first week back in office, he’s taken decisive steps to address these issues. His executive orders target energy independence, including reopening federal lands for oil and gas drilling and fast-tracking pipeline projects. Trump understands that energy prices are the foundation of the economy. When gas and heating oil are affordable, the cost of goods—from eggs to electronics—naturally decreases.
But Democrats and their media allies aren’t interested in explaining how economic recovery works. Instead, they’ve launched a coordinated effort to frame Trump as ineffective. MSNBC recently ran a piece questioning why inflation hasn’t evaporated overnight. In their eyes, Trump’s focus on immigration and energy policy is a distraction from more “pressing” issues, like why a dozen eggs still cost more than $3 in some places.
Energy: The Keystone of Economic Recovery
Ohio Senator JD Vance put it best in a recent interview, explaining how energy prices impact the cost of goods sold. “When you lower energy costs, you lower the cost of transportation, manufacturing, and even farming. That’s how you bring down the price of groceries,” Vance said. It’s basic economics, but Democrats prefer to ignore it.
Trump’s energy policies are already showing promise. Gas prices are trending downward, and analysts predict that heating oil costs will follow. If Trump’s initiatives continue, Americans could see $2 gas again, a stark contrast to the Biden years. And as energy costs stabilize, so will the cost of goods, including eggs.
The Blame Game’s Shelf Life
So, what will Democrats say when prices start to drop? They’ll likely credit Biden’s policies, arguing that Trump simply reaped the benefits of seeds planted by his predecessor. It’s a convenient narrative, but one that’s unlikely to resonate with voters. Polls show that Americans are well aware of who’s responsible for Bidenflation. They’re not buying the idea that Trump—in just one week—could undo four years of economic mismanagement.
In fact, Trump himself addressed this absurdity during a recent press conference. “They all said inflation was the No. 1 issue. I said, ‘I disagree,’” Trump remarked. “I talked about inflation too, but how many times can you say that an apple has doubled in cost?” He’s banking on voters understanding the long-term nature of economic recovery—and he’s probably right.
Media as the Democrats’ Mouthpiece
The media’s role in this blame game cannot be overstated. Outlets like MSNBC and Newsweek are amplifying Democratic talking points, framing Trump as indifferent to the struggles of everyday Americans. But their narrative has a glaring flaw: it assumes voters have short memories.
Most Americans remember the economic prosperity of Trump’s first term. They recall $2 gas, a booming stock market, and stable grocery prices. Comparing that era to the economic chaos under Biden makes it clear who’s better equipped to manage the economy. The media’s attempts to rewrite history are unlikely to succeed.
Conclusion: Actions Speak Louder Than Words
As energy prices continue to fall and the economy stabilizes, Democrats will find it increasingly difficult to pin their failures on Trump. Their strategy of blaming him for Bidenflation is already wearing thin. Americans understand that economic recovery takes time, especially after four years of mismanagement.
Trump’s focus on energy independence and immigration lays the groundwork for a stronger, more resilient economy. And while the media plays its part in the blame game, voters are more interested in results. When gas hits $2 a gallon and heating bills shrink, the Democrats’ narrative will crumble—just like their credibility.
