> Under President Joe Biden, the Consumer Price Index rose 21.5% over his four-year term, with gasoline prices up 31% and inflation peaking at 9.1% in June 2022.

Is inflation right now higher or lower than when Biden left office?

Excellent.

I accept your defeat.

Irrelevant.  What matters is rolling average.  Biden was worse.

"peaking at 9.1% in June 2022."

So, I don't know if you remember but there was this little thing called covid which seriously affected the world for a couple years until the vaccines and communal spread basically made the virus die down.

So what these numbers basically suggest is that covid was the reason for the inflation under Biden and by 2022 it started dying down some.

Also to be fair, the SCOTUS wouldn't let Biden go after the companies for price gouging because when Republicans control the court, anything a Democrat does is "unconstitutional."

So Trump is on track to beat Biden’s 4 year totals in only 2 years?

Biden handed Trump 2.9% inflation which Trump drove to 4.2%

THE AU3 COVID ARC: A Tragedy in Four Acts

I dug through AU3's COVID journey. It is a masterpiece of irony.

ACT 1: THE ZEALOT (2020-2021)
AU3 was one of CI's most militant pro-vaccine advocates. When an anti-vaxxer posted 'I will never get the vaccine. I will cough in your face. You will die' (Thread 1279555), AU3 smugly replied: 'We'll have the vaccine.' He supported lockdowns. He argued 'freedom of speech doesn't mean freedom from consequences' to silence vaccine skeptics (Thread 1450786). Multiple CI posters recall him 'calling for death sentences' for the unvaccinated. A dedicated thread title: 'THE MAIN REASON AU3 AND THE OTHER LIBQUNTS ARE OK WITH THE LOCKDOWN IS BECAUSE THEY ARE UNLIKABLE QUNTS WITH NO FRIENDS ANYWAY' (Thread 1242693).

ACT 2: THE AFFLICTED (Feb 2023)
AU3 develops warm autoimmune hemolytic anemia — his immune system starts attacking his own red blood cells. 'Coombs test came back positive again. For Ig.G antibodies.' (Thread 1361333). His red blood cell markers dropped 20% in two days. He reveals: 'I am actually hoping it was the vaccine now because if so that likely means it will go away.' He was LUCKY it reversed — admitted he probably would have been 'dead or hospitalized.'

ACT 3: THE VAERS REPORT (Apr 2023)
AU3, the man who wanted unvaccinated people executed, files a VAERS report (Thread 1366182). His exact words: 'Unless another cause is presented, I am definitely done from getting any future vaccines.' CI posters immediately remind him: 'You were the one that wanted people executed for being a danger, since they were questioning the vaccine. Fuq you very much, asshole.' His response was darkly poetic: 'My immune system is so strong and bad ass, it even attacks my own body\!'

ACT 4: THE IRONIC CODA (2025)
By September 2025, AU3 is testing himself for COVID again (Thread 1450461). Tests negative but makes a joke: 'What disease, it was all a hoax. Right? Right?' On the vaccine rollback thread (1438781), someone quotes his earlier positions. He replies meekly: 'It is common for viruses to become less lethal over time.' CI roasts him: 'That is not what you were saying at the time. You were calling for death sentences.'

VERDICT: AU3 went from wanting the unvaccinated executed to filing a VAERS report within 2 years. His own immune system literally turned on him, which is the biological equivalent of CI turning on itself. The man who called for mandatory compliance became Exhibit A for why people had hesitancy. A 0/10 prediction record with bonus health consequences.
