Alright, patriots, let’s cut through the swamp fog and lay bare the economic carnage Joe Biden unleashed compared to the prosperity Donald Trump delivered in his first term (January 20, 2017–January 20, 2021). From grocery bills gut-punching your wallet to gas prices draining your bank account, Biden’s term (January 20, 2021–January 20, 2025) was a masterclass in screwing over hardworking Americans. Trump’s second term, barely six months old as of July 24, 2025, is already clawing back gains, with fresh data showing price relief. This is a tale of MAGA competence versus Democrat disaster—inflation, energy, groceries, and jobs tell the story. Buckle up for the truth, backed by hard numbers.
Inflation: Biden’s Price Hike Nightmare
Under Trump’s first term, inflation was a sleepy kitten, purring at an average 1.9% annually, per Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) Consumer Price Index (CPI) data from 2017 to January 2021. Prices barely budged—your paycheck stretched further, and life felt affordable. The CPI rose just 7.8% total over four years, keeping costs stable despite global trade wars. Trump’s tax cuts and deregulation juiced growth without overheating, with core inflation (excluding food and energy) flat at 2.1% by June 2018.
Then Biden stumbled in, and inflation roared like a rabid grizzly. The CPI skyrocketed 20.1% over his 45 months, per a November 1, 2024, Forbes report, compared to Trump’s 7.1%. By June 2022, inflation hit 9.1%—a 40-year high, per BLS. Supply chain chaos, Russia’s Ukraine invasion, and Biden’s $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan in March 2021 dumped fuel on the fire. Real wages tanked 2.14% by Q1 2024, per FactCheck.org, as prices outran earnings. Biden’s claim he inherited 9.1% inflation? A lie—CPI was 1.4% in January 2021. From an America First view, this was government malpractice, clobbering families while Trump’s low-inflation era let them thrive.Fast forward to July 2025: Trump’s second term is taming the beast. March 2025 CPI dropped month-over-month for the first time in nearly five years, per an April 10, 2025, White House memo, with core inflation at its lowest since March 2021. Annual inflation hit 2.7% in June 2025, up from 2.4% in May, per The Economist, but Trump’s tariff pauses and deregulation are keeping it in check. The contrast is stark—Biden broke your budget; Trump’s fixing it.

Groceries: Biden’s Kitchen Table Robbery
Grocery prices under Trump were a picnic. From 2017 to 2020, the CPI for food at home crept up 6.5%, per a July 18, 2024, FactCheck.org analysis. A loaf of bread cost $1.43 in January 2021, and a dozen eggs averaged $1.47, per BLS. Trump’s trade policies and energy independence kept supply chains humming, so your cart didn’t bankrupt you.Biden’s term? A grocery store horror show. Food prices surged 22.2% from 2021 to 2025, with peaks of 7% in 2021 and 10.1% in 2022, per BLS CPI data posted on X July 20, 2025. By May 2024, bread hit $1.97, eggs $2.70, per Al Jazeera. The 2022 egg price spike—up 70% year-over-year—had families skipping breakfast staples. Biden’s supply chain fumbles and energy price hikes jacked up costs, with grocery inflation hitting 13.5% in August 2022, per CBS News. Even as inflation slowed to 1.4% for food by November 2024, per the Center for American Progress, the damage was done—your grocery bill never recovered.
Trump’s second term is bringing relief. Since January 2025, grocery prices rose just 0.5%-1.4%, with eggs down 12.7% in April, per X posts July 24, 2025. Wholesale egg prices crashed 50% by April 2025, per the White House. America First policies—drilling and deregulation—are stabilizing supply chains, proving Trump’s focus on your kitchen table trumps Biden’s neglect.

Energy: Biden’s Gas Pump Gouge
Trump’s first term was an energy paradise. Gas averaged $2.48 per gallon from 2017 to 2020, dipping to $2.28 by December 2020, per the Energy Information Administration (EIA). Domestic oil production soared to record highs by 2019, per Reuters, thanks to Trump’s “drill, baby, drill” mantra. Electricity prices rose a modest 4% over four years, per FactCheck.org. Cheap energy kept inflation low and factories humming, a win for America First.
Biden’s war on fossil fuels sent energy prices to the moon. Gas hit $5.03 per gallon in June 2022 after Russia’s Ukraine invasion spiked global markets, per EIA, settling at $3.76 by May 2024. Over Biden’s term, gas averaged $3.22, with energy prices up 34% total, per an April 29, 2025, White House memo. Electricity costs jumped 28.3%, per FactCheck.org, as Biden’s green energy push strained grids. His halt of Keystone XL and drilling permits in January 2021 choked supply, hammering truckers and commuters. From any point of view, this was deliberate sabotage of our energy independence.
Trump’s back, and energy’s rebounding. By July 2025, gas is ~$3.15, per X posts July 20, 2025, and energy prices dropped 2% since January, per the White House. Deregulation and renewed drilling are slashing costs, proving Trump’s policies put American workers first, not eco-zealots.
Jobs and Growth: Biden’s Mirage vs. Trump’s Muscle
Trump’s first three years added 6.7 million jobs, with unemployment at 3.5% by February 2020, a 50-year low, per BLS. Manufacturing jobs grew by 414,000, a 3.3% bump, per freep.com. GDP growth averaged 2.67% pre-COVID, per AP News, hitting 2.3% in 2019. The 2020 pandemic cratered 20 million jobs, but by January 2021, the economy was rebounding, with 67.8% S&P 500 gains, per FactCheck.org. Trump’s $2 trillion CARES Act in March 2020 saved millions from ruin.
Biden’s job numbers look shiny—16.1 million jobs added, unemployment at 4% by January 2025, per FactCheck.org—but it’s a mirage. He inherited a recovering economy, with 15 million jobs regained from pandemic lows. Manufacturing added 610,000 jobs, a 6.5% rise, but three-fourths of Biden’s job gains were government or adjacent, per a April 29, 2025, White House memo. GDP growth averaged 3.4%, per AP News, but 2021’s 5.9% boom slowed to 1.9% in 2022, per Forbes. Biden’s $4.3 trillion in new debt, half from COVID relief, dwarfed Trump’s $8.4 trillion over four years, per Bankrate. Real GDP grew 8.4% under Biden vs. 6.8% under Trump, but inflation ate the gains.
Trump’s second term is revving up. Since January 2025, 345,000 jobs were added, including 9,000 in manufacturing, with 15,000 federal jobs cut, per the White House. GDP shrank 0.5% in Q1 2025 due to tariff-driven import rushes, per The Economist, but consumer spending and private investment are surging, per an April 30, 2025, White House report. America First policies—tax cuts and deregulation—are unleashing growth Biden could only dream of.
The Verdict: Biden’s Failure, Trump’s Triumph
Biden’s economic record is a disaster for every American scraping by. Inflation soared 20.1%, groceries jumped 22.2%, gas hit $5, and real wages dropped 2.14%. His $4.3 trillion debt binge and green energy obsession crushed families, while job gains masked government bloat. Trump’s first term delivered 1.9% inflation, 6.5% grocery hikes, $2.48 gas, and 6.7 million jobs pre-COVID. His tax cuts and energy dominance built a powerhouse economy, only dented by a once-in-a-century pandemic. Now, in July 2025, Trump’s slashing prices—eggs down 12.7%, energy off 2%—and adding 345,000 jobs in six months.
From an America First perspective, Biden’s term was a deliberate assault on the heartland, prioritizing globalist pipe dreams over your paycheck. Trump’s record, past and present, proves he’s the champion of workers, farmers, and small businesses. The numbers scream it: Biden broke America; Trump’s building it back. Time to keep the MAGA momentum roaring and send the swamp’s economic clowns packing for good.
