Former President Donald Trump and several Republican governors have criticized the Biden administration, saying its poor decisions and policies have led to the current record-high inflation.

“Inflation just hit ANOTHER 40-year high of 9.1%, which is terrible for our Country. Fuel prices up 60%, Airfare up 34%, Eggs up 33%—how can people survive this? How can businesses survive this?” Trump said in a statement released by his political action committee Save America on July 13.

Trump said the Democrats were too busy attacking him instead of focusing on the economy.

“Our Country is so weak right now because the Radical Left Democrats have no clue what they are doing,” Trump continued. “All they want to do is ‘get Trump,’ and they are willing to destroy our Nation to do it.”

The former president ended his statement by saying the voters can help turn the economy around when placing their votes in the 2022 midterm elections.

“America will not allow this to go on for much longer. Don’t vote for the Radical Left Democrats, vote for America First Republicans—Save America!”

On Wednesday, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics announced the consumer price index (CPI) soared 9.1 percent from a year ago, reaching the highest level since November 1981.

On a monthly basis, the CPI rose by 1.3 percent, higher than economists’ estimates of 1.1 percent.

Food prices jumped by 10.4 percent, while energy prices surged 41.6 percent. Meanwhile, Americans’ real wages dropped 1 percent from May to June.

Now, the question is whether inflation has peaked, or it will peak in the coming months. Sen. Rob Portman (R-Ohio) predicted that inflation would soon hit double-digit figures if President Joe Biden moves ahead with plans to increase taxes on most Americans.

Several GOP governors took to Twitter to criticize the Biden administration for the latest inflation numbers.
