Bill Kristol Tweets Dumb ‘Inflation Subsides’ Prediction Minutes Before News Inflation Spiked 9.1%


Just another example [1] of why Bill Kristol is devoutly to be ignored:

Insufferable NeverTrumper Bill Kristol should know by now that putting dumb inflation hot takes on Twitter minutes before devastating economic news is released doesn’t return dividends.

Kristol tweeted at 8:00 a.m. a laundry list of predictions he claimed were “[s]traightforward from here.” One of his crystal ball items he mentioned was: “Inflation subsides.” That prediction only had a shelf life of about 30 minutes.

At which point, the news of the 9.1% inflation figure dropped… Highest in over 40 years.

This shows us two things : Kristol will invariably defend Democrats if he thinks it’s going to score points against Donald Trump. I do believe we can mark that one down as an object failure. Also, being establishment GOP, he has no clue as to what he’s talking about.

Oh, and as a bonus, News Busters has this one right… The man is completely insufferable. The only mystery surrounding him at this point is why anybody listens to anything he says.
