Hillary Clinton Trolls Donald Trump's Inflation Remark With A Cutting Historical Question

Hillary Clinton used a pointed historical dig to respond to Donald Trump's inflation claim, posting a side-by-side image on X comparing Trump with a portrait of Marie Antoinette and the phrase ‘Let them eat cake.’ The jab followed Trump's boast that ‘I love the inflation,’ a framing that coincided with CPI data showing inflation at 4.2% over the past year. Clinton's move leveraged historical imagery to challenge the argument that rising prices are desirable, while Trump later told the New York Post that he meant inflation would be lower once the Iran conflict ends, insisting his numbers could be worse due to energy costs.
