The Democrats took to X with a post tying “record inflation” to President Trump. However, the graph that they showed was from the end of Trump’s first term, through Biden’s term, and then into Trump’s second term. An account representing the Republicans posted the same graph, but with the Biden years marked. The Democrats ended up deleting the post. The hammering that this post received provided an example of why some call for more “control” over what is said on social media.<\/p>\n

A tweet from the official Democratic Party’s X account was ridiculed on Thursday after inadvertently showing prices skyrocketing under former President Joe Biden.<\/p>\n

The post attempted to describe rising grocery prices under “Trump’s America” using a graph dating from October 2019 to 2025. The graph claimed that “U.S. Grocery Prices Reached Record Highs in 2025” with prices “higher today than they were on July 2024” in categories such as dairy, produce and meat.<\/p>\n

However, many X users pointed out that the graph, in fact, showed prices skyrocketing in 2021 when Biden was president and only leveling off at the end of 2024 when President Donald Trump was re-elected.<\/p>\n

“You’re showing us a graph of stable prices suddenly rising the moment you came into power and then steadily rising higher and higher until Trump was reelected,” political commentator Chad Felix Greene wrote.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
