This is probably not appreciated in this community, but Trump really had an impact on this during the early covids. The economic system was collapsing in March 2020, so under Trump they pumped $$$ into the system. Basically the money supply increased 4 times. More money printed in 2020 than the total number of dollars printed EVER, all the years before that combined.
I personally have no idea if Trump did it or who is responsible, but it happened under Trump, and now we’re seeing some of the inflationary consequences of that.
Obviously, if you increase the money supply, the costs of things will also increase.
