◾️It is a historic mistake that no one pushed back on Putin's actions in 2014;
◾️No one stopped Putin when he still wasn't that strong. So he came with tanks and missiles in 2022. Now Putin is even more sure of himself. If we give him a chance to feel his victory, it's unclear what he will do next.

Inflation = rate of price change. Decreasing = good
Current Prices = result of past inflation. Decreasing = it’s complicated.

TRUMP: I think the prices are gonna be, ah, going down already. I mean, the prices are way down. We brought prices way down from what it was. We inherited high prices.
