Starting on day one, we will end inflation and make America affordable again.

Starting the day I take the oath of office, I will rapidly drive prices down.

That was even in the 2024 Republican Party platform.

這甚至出現在 2024 年共和黨的政綱裡。

And look, this message, it seemed to work.

看看，這個訊息，似乎奏效了。

It really seemed to resonate with voters.

When you look at the 2024 exit polls, among voters who said that inflation, their family, severe hardship, Vice President Harris, former Vice President Harris only won 23% of the voters.

當你看看 2024 年的出口民調，在表示通膨對家人造成嚴重困難的選民中，賀錦麗副總統、前副總統賀錦麗只贏得了 23% 的選民。

看看，這裡的問題之一是，信不信由你，截至九月（我們有的最新數據月份），通膨實際上比一年前還要高，也就是螢幕左邊，當時川普候選人還在承諾讓美國再次變得可負擔。

It's not the runaway inflation that some feared, but

這不是大家擔心的那種失控的通膨，但

what's notable is that tariffs, the President's tariffs, are part of the reason why we've seen this uptick in inflation.

值得注意的是，關稅，也就是總統的關稅，是我們看到通膨上升的原因之一。

And look, Donald Trump promised to make prices go down, and that was just never realistic.

看看，唐納·川普承諾要降低物價，但這根本不切實際。

It's just not really the way that prices work.

You don't usually see that across the entire economy unless something's really, really wrong.

除非經濟真的出了大問題，否則你通常不會在整個經濟體系中看到這種情況。

Look, I think the bottom line here, John, is if the President is trying to convince voters that the affordability crisis that they're experiencing every single day isn't real, that's going to be an almost impossible task, especially because candidate Trump told them it is real.

看看，約翰，我認為這裡的重點是，如果總統試圖說服選民，他們每天都在經歷的「可負擔性」危機並不存在，這將是一項幾乎不可能的任務，尤其因為川普候選人告訴他們這是真實存在的。

Look, neither prices nor the rate of inflation are down at this point.

看看，目前物價和通膨率都沒有下降。
