Does MAGA Jim Desmond “Love the Inflation” as Much as Donald Trump?

Suffering from another case of ‘foot in mouth’ disease, Donald Trump declared from the Oval Office:

“I LOVE the inflation.”

 
He was, of course, referring to the latest report that showed inflation spiking to a three-year high, forcing Californians to pay more for everything – including gas, energy, food, and health care.

Donald Trump’s declaration raises the question that Californians deserve an answer to:

Does Jim Desmond agree with Donald Trump?

It’s likely he does… given Desmond has embraced Trump’s “complete and total” endorsement, dismissed the financial burden of the Iran war on working families, declaring it “no pain, no gain,” and defended it – claiming “President Trump is right” and “I support” it. He has also fallen in lockstep with Trump’s cost-spiking agenda – voting against his own housing proposal to avoid acknowledging the impact of Trump’s tariffs and economic policies. California families have had to spend over $4,300 more on goods and services on average under Trump as a result of these policies.

DCCC Spokesperson Anna Elsasser: 
“Southern Californians deserve to know if Jim Desmond loves ‘the inflation’ like Donald Trump. Because no sane person does, and this tone-deaf remark is another reminder that Jim Desmond and Donald Trump don’t care about everyday folks, just keeping their billionaire backers happy.”
