Wages aren’t keeping up with Trump’s inflation. 30-year mortgage rate up from 5.99% before the war to 7.6%, or $4,330 more per year for a typical household. Household debt, Q1 ’25 to Q2 ’26: +$56B. Families going into more debt just to get by. Total cost to American borrowers of Trump’s broken promise to cap credit card interest rates: $94.9B. Share of each extra dollar of income going to household debt: 52¢. Take-home income up $109/month since 2022; debt payments up $57. Cost of Living Basket Since Dec. 2024: Electricity +12.7%, approximately $222 more for the average household. Rent +5.1%, approximately $256 more. Gasoline +43.7%, approximately $758 more.

I recommend people read this to get a sense of the president's grave cognitive impairment. Trump is either unwilling or unable (or maybe both) to answer the questions he's actually asked, so he just rants and raves while the interviewers do their best to provide structure to his random brain firings
