Misunderstandings Are Rife

To the Editor:
A no doubt well-intentioned reader wrote to say (The Letter Hive, June 14) that the conviction of Donald Trump on 34 counts of felony must be a “sham” because during the Trump administration, inflation, commodity prices and interest rates were all lower than they are today. Leaving aside the stunning gap in logic, I might respectfully point out that the macroeconomic trends he mentions are determined by forces not in the control of the US president, whoever he or she is. I’m afraid that this kind of misunderstanding is rife today.
Sincerely,
Eric J. Evans

Biden’s day 1 war on oil and gas as well as coal has led directly to higher costs of goods and transportation – that get passed down to consumers. This lead to begging Saudi Arabia for increased output and raiding the national oil reserve.
