“Inflation” is an increase in the supply of money.
When you create new money out of thin air, the purchasing power of the monetary unit decreases.
Trump *inflated* the money supply by trillions of dollars to buy lockdowns, send stimulus checks, fund Operation Warp Speed, etc.

Don’t forget his need to have the stock markets end high during his term.. I remember him standing next to Powell talking about ‘a huge V shaped recovery’, I thought he was full of shit, but fucking-a, V shaped recovery it was.. Powell knew what would happen, told Trump, and he was in 🤝🖨️
Republicans live in this bizarre dream world where they whine & complain about all the bad things Democrats do, then either ignore or are too dumb to understand that their "guy" is doing literally the exact same thing.
Warp speed huh
Inflation is increasing prices. You could increase the supply of money, by creating money out of thin air, and still have prices go down (deflation), if productivity gains increased production more than the increase in money supply. Unfortunately that is rarely the case.
Inflation is not “increasing prices.” Prices rising is the *result* of inflation. The words we use matter.
Sorry, but inflation is commonly defined as a general increase in prices. See here and many other sources:

What you are talking about is a monetary base increase-that is not inflation.
You can have monetary base increases that can result in lower prices (deflation) stable prices, or higher prices (inflation) depending on the growth in goods and services being higher, the same as, or lower than the monetary base increase.
If there is $1 in circulation and one oranges are produced, and the next year there are $2 in circulation, but 4 oranges are produced, clearly the purchasing power of the $ went up, not down, even with a monetary base increase.
Both views are right.
Starting from the "everything is "inflating" in supply because optimization of production. And everything have a different inflation rate in the market

nostr:npub1cj8znuztfqkvq89pl8hceph0svvvqk0qay6nydgk9uyq7fhpfsgsqwrz4u point more the attention on the inflation of money as a product, it's overproduction compared to market cause it's own devaluation.
Bitcoin have inflation "in supply".
But deflation "on the market".

It's funny because his portfolio is reported to be about 70% bonds. So he torched it and still didn't get reelected. Huge mistake
