That's why Democrats always say things like "We can all agree the most important thing is defeating Donald Trump". The groups that make up the Democrats' voting base aren't unified - not in any profound sense.
Without a common enemy, the big tent is in danger of blowing away.
That is the mission of the legacy media: Spin everything to make President Trump look worse to low information voters.
I don't lose any hair over the price of gas or groceries and don't assign blame other than the 21% "transitory inflation" bump we adjusted to gradually during Sharter Joe's four year disaster. Which the media never cites.
(As a casual aside: Ralphie has a full head of thick dark brown hair, and because at my middle age if I haven't gone bald or gray yet, it isn't happening. My late father and paternal Grandfather had NO gray hair).
. That said, before LIEden's bird flu chicken cull, we were paying between $6 and $7 for an 18-count carton of eggs. After the cull, that same 18-pack was between $14 and $15 for several months, the end of LIEden's MalAdministration and the first few months of Trump's second term. Prices started falling as young chickens not killed in the cull started laying, and has continued as chickens hatched after the cull also started laying. Now, depending on the store, we've been paying $2.85-$3.50. So, "Trumpflation" is so complicated with realities as to by a myth.
Per https://oilprice.com/oil-price-charts/ , WTI, West Texas Intermediate (the grade produced in ... western Texas) currently is $92.45. A couple of months ago, it peaked at $115. Brent crude is $100.54 currently. IOW, the NY Slimes selected the price for the grade less relevant to the US because they want Trump to look worse.
The price I paid yesterday for gas - usual station, Regular, credit price - is up 17 cents from a week ago, but still 50 cents lower than its high a month or two ago.
I do not love paying 20 or 30 cents per gallon higher than January this year, and I love even less the deaths of 14 or 15 US service personnel, but those are dwarfed by the prospect of Iran's 47-year war on the US, in which thousands of Americans were killed ending ... and by Iran's ability to threaten most of Europe and much of Africa and Asia with nuclear weapons being crushed.

It is Brent Crude that hit $100, which is ONLY oil that derives from the North Sea. Crude Oil is indeed at 92+/- at the moment. Jeez people, oil and stock prices fluctuate constantly, most of which has ZERO to do with political issues. The broader stock market is down today mostly because of AI concerns. There is still 4 1/2 hours left in the trading day, so no one knows what is going to happen or how it might transpire by the close.
