President Donald Trump‘s “I love the inflation” remark continued to draw backlash across political circles Thursday, as former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton joined critics who have accused the president of being out of touch with the financial pressures facing American households.
‘Who Said It Best?’
Trump’s remark drew criticism because it came as Americans continue to grapple with higher living costs, with headline inflation in May reaching its highest reading since April 2023, while housing, healthcare and other essential expenses continue to strain household budgets.
In a post on X Thursday, Clinton drew a comparison between Trump and Marie Antoinette, invoking the French queen’s infamous “Let them eat cake” phrase often associated with elite detachment from ordinary people’s economic struggles.
“Who said it best?,” Clinton added.
