Play down

When Biden started his term inflation was 1.4% and it has risen steadily since with 2.5% in March, 5% in May and now 6.8%. Early on Biden said it was only temporary and not a big problem but yesterday he said inflation is a problem for low income people. This is much like the way Trump handled the Covid. At the start he said it was much like the flu but a few months later he started the warp speed program to get a vaccine. Presidents normally like to play down problems if they can.
