Kudlow Bamboozles Over Trump Tariff Inflation

As a banner declaring “ECONOMY SOARS UNDER PRESIDENT TRUMP,” Fox Business host and former Trump adviser Larry Kudlow tried to con viewers about the economy.

After seemingly mild inflation data was released on Tuesday, Fox wasted no time crowing that their fave Jeffrey Epstein pal is helping the economy.

KUDLOW: Yes, some items are affected by tariffs, and the prices have gone up. Okay? Household furnishing being one, computers being another, but Sean, here's what fell in this report, and no one's reporting this. Okay, used cars down, new cars down. Airline fares down. They all fell. Their prices, eggs down, okay, snacks, hotel and motel prices down, milk down, butter down, cereals down.

Hannity claimed that gas prices are down. But Kudlow corrected him that “energy was up a little in this report.”

Here’s what the Trump lickspittles didn’t want to acknowledge: Nobody struggling with higher prices for a new computer or furniture, is going to feel relief from lower airfare or hotel prices. Especially if the cost of driving to work is going up, too. Also, while I’ll take Kudlow’s word that the cost of eggs, butter, milk, cereal and “snacks” are down, prices for coffee and oranges spiked in June.
