Trump and Company can say it went up 10% or more. It WILL...NOT....CHANGE...what people see in their wages and expenses. It just won't. America at the end of the day will not tolerate bullshit what they see with their own eyes and feel in their wallets.

I do think the cake is baked though for 2026 midterms. There's not enough money in the world for Trump to buy off voters in the time left. And culture war crap from Republicans will look totally tone deaf. There would have to be massive shennigans going on for Dems not to take the House and grind Trump's agenda to a halt.
