Reuters interviewed 20 people under the age of 30 to understand their support. The most common reason given for backing the former president was inflation and the perception the economy was not working for them, underscoring how the rise in prices for daily staples is more salient for some than high stock prices and low unemployment during the Biden years. […] At the same time, a majority said they agreed with Trump's reticence about aiding Ukraine in its war with Russia, an isolationist stance at odds with Biden's foreign policy agenda.

Ok so Trump was the one that gave out stimulus checks that sparked hyper inflation. Yet they see him as a solution to inflation?

Something's not adding up here.

It's fair to say that stock prices being high does fuck all for most of us. But my agreement with this position ends there.
