Democrats Post Graph To Show Prices Are At the Highest Ever, But There's a Problem
Update: The US Loses $200 Billion Per Year in Foreign Remittances

The graph showed that the monster inflation occurred solely under Biden. Yes, prices continue to be high -- we never actually deflate prices, the best we do is not inflate them further -- but the graph plainly showed that Biden, not Trump, was responsible for all of the inflation.

And the Democrats, who are super-smart you guys, thought this chart was an Own.

After it was pointed out that the chart was an Own but a Self-Own, they deleted it.

JustTheNews:

The Democratic Party on Thursday deleted a questionable social media post that appeared to try to blame President Donald Trump for "record high" grocery prices.

The post on X shared a graph that showed grocery prices in all major food categories going up over the past four years due to inflation, but did not include a spot for 2025. However, a caption on the graph claimed the prices were higher now than in July of 2024.

The original post included the caption "Trump's America." Just The News has verified that the post existed and has since been deleted. The Trump administration has also shared the post.

The party has not commented on why the post was removed, but the post was ratio'd with 9,500 comments, compared to 6,200 likes and 4,700 reposts.

Trump's Rapid Response account reposted the chart, this time showing Biden's term in comparison with the price hikes.

The U.S. loses at least $200 billion per year from our economy in remittances. This number is likely even higher now as the last reliable, bilateral data were published in 2021.

At least 134 countries received remittances from the U.S. in 2021, with amounts ranging from a few thousand dollars to tens of billions of dollars.

In 2021, the top five recipient countries of remittances from the U.S. were: Mexico ($52.6 billion), India ($15.8 billion), Guatemala ($14.7 billion), the Philippines ($12.8 billion), and China ($12.7 billion). Some of these totals have grown significantly even since 2021.

U.S. remittances account for around 20 percent of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of multiple countries in Central America, including Honduras and El Salvador.

Billions of dollars sent in remittances to Mexico are potentially linked to cartels. Some of these funds are in the form of cryptocurrency, making them even harder to trace than conventional funds.
