Who doesn’t love guessing games? So, guess which silver-tongued orator said this: “Inflation doesn’t exist. Inflation is temporary. Inflation is transitory. Inflation will be going away. Inflation is Trump’s fault. Inflation is the greedy oil companies’ fault. Inflation is Putin’s fault.”

Stumped? OK, maybe this will help. Who has criticized and blamed everybody and every single thing for his multiple catastrophes except … China? Bonus points for guessing which son got over 4.5 documented millions just from Chinese entities alone, and planned to kick up 10% to “the big guy,” giving him “his taste,” a la Tony Soprano.

Still no clue? OK, last hint. While surveying the devastation and smoldering rubble of his first year in office, what 21st-century Demosthenes uttered this to the nation: “I think my first year exceeded expectations”?
