Trump 2.0 vs Bidenomics is the fight I can’t escape. I’m sitting on my sagging couch in Philly, staring at a $72 grocery receipt for what used to cost $45. Eggs, milk, bread—basic stuff—now feel like luxury items. That’s the economic war hitting my fridge.
Trump 2.0 vs Bidenomics: Jobs and Paychecks
I lost my marketing gig in 2022. Zoom call, cat on the boss’s lap, “restructuring.” I threw $300 at Dogecoin thinking Bidenomics would save me. It didn’t. The coin crashed, and I ate ramen for a month.
Now Trump 2.0 is back with tariffs and tax cuts. My cousin in Ohio just got overtime at the steel plant. He bought everyone wings last weekend. Real money, real jobs. But my rent jumped $200. Tariffs help some, hurt others. Brookings says manufacturing is up 8%. I feel the win in his wallet, the loss in mine.
- Trump wins: Factory jobs, lower gas ($3.20/gallon).
- Biden wins: EV charging is cheap—I saved $40 on a Jersey trip.
- Tie: Both added to the debt. My future kid pays.
Trump 2.0 vs Bidenomics: Inflation Hurts
Inflation under Bidenomics was brutal. I hosted a cookout in 2023—burgers doubled in price, half my friends bailed. I burned the cheap ones anyway and cried into my beer.
Trump’s tariffs are slowing price spikes. Bread is still $5, but it’s not $7. NYT says growth is steady. I track every dollar in a buggy app. It stopped one $180 takeout binge. Small wins.
Trump 2.0 vs Bidenomics: What I Learned
I hated Trump’s noise at first. Then I saw my cousin’s paycheck. I loved Biden’s green push. Then I saw my heating bill. Both have hits and misses. I’m just trying to keep the lights on.
Final Score in the Economic War
Trump 2.0 vs Bidenomics? No knockout. Trump’s ahead on jobs and swagger. Biden scored on equity before inflation ate the gains. My budget is bruised but breathing.
