A new CBS News poll finds 68% disapprove of President Trump’s handling of inflation and the economy.

The entire poll is brutal:

* 58% say prices have been going up in last few weeks.

* 65% say Trump’s policies are making grocery prices go up.

* 77% of those judging Trump most on economy and inflation say he’s not spending enough time on it.

* 64% disapprove of his handling of economy.

1. Solid D performance.

2. Sure prices have been going up, but

it is widely reported that corporations are taking absorbing some of the tariffs, lowering their profits, to help control inflation.

If they can take a hit to their profits to control inflation under a Republican president, why couldn't they have done the same under a Democratic president?

3. Trump doesn't understand what's happening

He relies on Fox News and the degenerates around him for reality about the world. Peter Navarro, BobFK, Jr., Noem. Data on anything is suspect.

4. Things are lining up favorably for midterms. Wish pollsters would ask, "Does that mean you'll consider voting for Dems."

5. 58% say prices have gone up? What the fuck is that?

It doesn’t matter what they say. Prices have gone up.

It’s like a hundred people walk out into the rain, and 58 of them say it’s raining. Doesn’t matter. It’s fucking raining!

7. I hear you. It's rumored that Homo sapiens are an intelligent species. Rumored mind you.

I many times feel otherwise.

8. Too soon to tell.

6. Repeat after me, Americans. He doesn't care about you. He never, ever, ever cared about you.

9. In short, Trump isn't worth shit on a stick.
