2025 Déjà Vu: Is President Trump Repeating Biden’s Biggest Economic Blunder?

EDITOR'S NOTES

CNN’s latest spin job, “Trump denies inflation is hurting Americans. It’s the same mistake that haunted Biden,” isn’t just a hit piece—it’s an accidental confession. It exposes how both Trump and Biden, like every modern president, rely on narrative warfare to distract from the reality of a rotting dollar. In this breakdown, I’ll show how Trump’s denial of inflation in 2025 is ripped straight from Biden’s 2022 playbook, why neither party has stopped the real source of inflation, and what you need to do before the Fed’s monetary time bomb takes out your savings.

Inflation: The Silent Tax That Never Went Away

Let’s make one thing brutally clear—when politicians claim inflation is “cooling,” they’re not saying prices are falling. They’re just saying the pain is increasing slightly less quickly. Meanwhile, your cost of living has exploded. That’s not relief—it’s slow suffocation.

Trump, back in the Oval Office, now insists “groceries are down” and “we have no inflation.” That’s not just wrong—it’s delusional. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, grocery prices have continued to climb since he took office again. Americans are still paying the compounding price of inflation baked in between 2021 and 2024—and now in 2025, nothing has reversed. If anything, it’s getting worse.

CNN’s own data confirms it: the average household is now spending $1,043 more per month than they were in 2021 just to maintain the same lifestyle. That’s not a data point—it’s a death sentence for the working class.

Does Trump’s Position Mirror Biden’s?

Remember when Biden brushed off inflation in 2022? He claimed we had “the fastest-growing economy in the world” while Americans couldn’t afford chicken or diapers. It was classic deflection, and the voters punished him for it.

Fast-forward to 2025. Trump’s back, but he’s making the same fundamental mistake: denying the economic pressure millions of Americans feel every time they fill a cart or swipe a card. He torched Biden in the past for downplaying inflation—but now that he’s in charge, he’s doing it too.

This isn’t a gaffe. It’s what the presidency requires. Every modern administration lies about inflation because to speak the truth would mean confronting the government’s own addiction to spending and debt. And no one in power wants to do that.

Inflation Is Not a Bug—It’s the System Working as Designed

Here’s the dirty little secret neither party wants you fully understanding: inflation isn’t an accident. It’s not a result of “global supply chains” or “unforeseen economic shocks.” It’s engineered.

Whether it’s Biden’s bloated stimulus packages or Trump’s tariffs and MAGA-era budget blowouts, the result is always the same: the money supply gets juiced, the dollar gets weaker, and your paycheck buys less.

Both presidents greenlit multi-trillion-dollar spending plans. Both embraced emergency stimulus. And both allowed the Federal Reserve to function like a legalized counterfeiting ring—minting fiat for elites while regular Americans carry the cost.

Trump Named the Fed—But Will He Stop It?

To his credit, Trump has done what Biden never dared: he named the Federal Reserve as a culprit in America’s inflation crisis. He’s pointed the finger at Jerome Powell, criticized rate hikes, and publicly accused the Fed of tanking the economy.

But here’s the uncomfortable truth: naming the Fed isn’t the same as dismantling it.

Until the White House—or Congress—makes an actual move to audit, restrict, or abolish the Fed’s power to conjure trillions out of thin air, it’s all just theater. The engine of inflation keeps humming while you and your family get steamrolled.

And guess what CNN said about that? Nothing. Not a word. They’ll mock Trump’s grocery claims all day long but won’t touch the central bank that’s been hollowing out the economy since 1913.

Americans Know They’re Being Lied To

Don’t let them gaslight you into thinking inflation is a statistical illusion. When your monthly bills are higher than your paycheck, when your savings buy less every quarter, when your kids are eating less because groceries cost more—you know inflation isn’t under control.

Moody’s isn’t guessing when they say you’re spending over $1,000 more per month than you did in 2021. That’s the compound effect of years of monetary malpractice. You’re not just paying more—you’re earning less in real terms, saving less, and slipping further behind.

The American middle class isn’t angry because they think the economy is bad. They’re angry because it’s killing them—and every president since the Fed’s founding has been part of the scam.

You Can’t Vote Away Inflation—You Have to Opt Out

Here’s the painful truth: no politician is going to fix this. Not Trump. Not whoever comes next. Because they can’t. The system isn’t broken. It’s doing exactly what it was designed to do—transfer wealth from the many to the few, quietly and efficiently, through currency devaluation.

You’re not just living through bad leadership. You’re living through the slow collapse of a fake monetary order. And the longer you trust it, the more it robs you.

Final Thoughts: This Is Your Last Warning

Trump’s return to power is not a reset—it’s a rerun. The same lies, the same policies, the same gaslighting. Sure, he’s thrown the Fed under the bus—but unless he’s willing to kill the engine, you’re still being taken for a ride.

There’s only one rational path left: opt out of the rigged system before it buries you.

Get smart. Get prepared. Protect what’s yours while you still can.

Because if Trump, Biden, and the Fed have taught us anything, it’s this:
They’ll print you into poverty and call it prosperity.

Stay sharp. Stay sovereign. The exit door is still open—but not for long.
