In a recent interview, President Donald Trump shifted the conversation away from rising prices and inflation to the national debt when questioned by Fox News anchor Bret Baier. Over previous months, Trump had promised to tackle inflation and reduce costs, which many credit as a factor in his electoral defeat of Kamala Harris. However, following his victory, Trump expressed skepticism about guaranteeing lower prices and acknowledged the difficulty in reversing price inflation. He highlighted tariff strategies and the importance of addressing national debt, currently at $36 trillion, as central to the economic conversation.
Trump's response to inflation during an interview with Bret Baier shifted focus to national debt, indicating a reluctance to address rising consumer prices directly.
Despite previous promises to reduce inflation, Trump has recently downplayed expectations for lower prices, stating that it's challenging to bring them down once they're high.
During the interview, Trump emphasized the importance of tariffs and cited the national debt, amounting to $36 trillion, as a primary concern over rising prices.
In an analysis last July, it was revealed that Trump increased the national debt by over $4.8 trillion, significantly more than Biden's $2.2 trillion increase when excluding COVID relief.
