Are these the same people that said printing trillions of dollars would REDUCE inflation (Inflation Reduction Act)?

Donald Trump loves to remind voters that President Biden has overseen the highest inflation in 40 years.
But don’t count on Trump, the presumptive Republican nominee for president, to bring inflation down faster than Biden if he wins the presidential election in November.
Most economists believe inflation, deficits and interest rates would be higher during a second Trump administration than if Biden remains in the White House, according to a quarterly survey of forecasters by The Wall Street Journal.
“I think there is a real risk that inflation will reaccelerate under a Trump presidency,” said Bernard Baumohl, chief global economist at the Economic Outlook Group. That would likely lead the Federal Reserve to set interest rates higher than if inflation continues its downward trajectory, he added.
The Journal’s survey, conducted July 5-9, received responses from 68 professional forecasters from business, Wall Street and academia. Of the 50 who answered questions about Trump and Biden, 56% said inflation would be higher under another Trump term than a Biden term, versus 16% who said the opposite. The remainder saw no material difference.
He is full of shit. Economists are good at reading books and thats about it.
Trump is the man !
Let's not forget that weaponizing the US against Russia—by seizing the $300B in USD via SWIFT—has been a diaster. Other countries began divesting their US Dollars now that they realized the US could just as easily weaponize it against them. What happens when you suddenly add 100s of billions to trillions of unused US Dollars to the supply pool? Doesn't take a genius to understand the law of supply and demand.
This had to be one of the most retarded moves by the Biden Administration amongst a slew of them. It didn't even affect Russia. In fact, their currency actually increased in value as they made trades with other BRIC nations. The only ones it hurt were American citizens, and this doesn't even add all of the other variables that increased inflation, like the endless money printing and writing off of billions in student loans.
IF Trump is elected, he'll be coming into a very strong economy with all numbers headed in the right direction. He'll need to tread very carefully not to screw things up.
Which is unlikely.
