Anchor blasts Trump's 'baloney' ploy to blame others for inflation

MS NOW anchor Nicole Wallace had no patience for President Donald Trump’s officials stretching themselves to blame president Biden for Trump’s self-created inflationary mess. And her argument was buttressed by a host of agreement from politicians and assorted politicos.

“A gallon of milk can cost $10 if it's organic and non-organic is like $6. … You don't have to be particularly price sensitive to know that the price of everything is through the roof. I mean, gas is up. You don't have to drive a truck to know that diesel is through the roof,” ranted Wallace, speaking of Trump’s helpless ignorance inside his own “feedback loop.”

Voters, however, are well aware, with “90 percent” of Americans aware of gas and food price increases.

And yet, Trump’s lieutenants and his fellow Republicans are laboring to deny the cause of it all.

“Let me show you the delusional attempts at spinning that reality,” Wallace told her panel before replaying footage of a recent standoff between Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-Ga.) and U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins during a Senate hearing. “They're still trying to blame former president Biden.”

“You've supported aid packages for farmers hurt by Trump's policies,” Warnock told Rollins. “Would you also support a food aid package for working families who are just struggling to afford groceries due to increased costs?”

“So, senator, the 3 percent is actually an average cost of food increase over the years. Under the last administration, it went up 20 percent. But the SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program), I think, is really—”

But that that moment, Warnock cut Rollins off, saying: “Do you realize, madam secretary, with all due respect, how sterile that answer sounds for a person who's just trying — right now somebody's trying to buy groceries in Georgia and they can't afford it.”

“Well, but that's because of the Biden administration is the reason,” Rollins insisted.

“Two years later,” proclaimed Warnock. “Two years later, that's your answer: ‘because of the Biden administration?’”

“I mean, the good news is Trump's voters don't even buy that baloney,” said Wallace, turning away from the exchange. “The bad news is people in Georgia are struggling to buy a bag of groceries.”

“And Trump and his family are making money,” said "Runaway Country" podcaster Alex Wagner. “… [H]is children are using the federal government as a honeypot. His son is engaged in incredibly corrupt activities with department of defense contracts for drone companies for rare earth minerals companies. I mean, there are people that are doing very well in this economy, and their name is Trump. And that, I think, is why the message of corruption is particularly galling right now.”

“You just have to either actually care — as most politicians do — or pretend to care, as some politicians do. Donald trump doesn't do either,” said Wallace. “And that's why the real economic data and the political crisis are driving Trump's poll numbers down to historic lows.”
