In a Yahoo/YouGov poll conducted in late November, 49 percent of respondents said Trump has done more to increase prices, while 24 percent said he’s done more to lower prices. Another 17 percent said he’s done “about the same,” and 10 percent said they’re not sure.
Only 49% noticed the incredibly noticable rises in the cost of everything this year. The other 51% are either intentionally lying to themselves, are so financially secure that they didn’t notice the changes, or are immense idiots.

That’s a great summary of the Trump coalition, generally.
I’m really dreading the wild things he might try right before the midterms to alleviate this or distract from this, because this is the killer issue for Trump and he knows it damn well. Fingers crossed that the worse he does is drop the prime rate to 0 and print 5 or 6 trillion new dollars.
