But Tarlov wasn’t backing down. She responded, “Hey Michele, while I appreciate that you continue to at least pretend to respect me, in this instance it’s not about ‘me knowing better.’ The data is showing 66% of Americans think he’s not focused on inflation. Maybe we’ve all got it wrong, but that’s a lot of ppl to be off base.”
Tafoya stood her ground, replying, “I respect how you hold your own on @TheFive. But after 3.5 weeks, you’re willing to blame the rise in inflation on the new admin? That is where you should know better. For 4 years your party told us inflation was ‘transitory,’ etc. But after four weeks, it’s now the fault of the White House?”
While Tafoya opted to exit the conversation gracefully, Tarlov continued to defend her position. “I continually talked about how persistent inflation was a problem, people were upset at prices, etc. Of course it’s not all Trump’s fault! But if 66% say he’s not focused on it enough doesn’t that suggest an issue? Also, tax cuts and trade wars are inflationary,” she insisted.
Social media users overwhelmingly sided with Tafoya, ridiculing Tarlov for what they saw as a desperate attempt to pin economic woes on Trump. One user quipped, “Next to Elizabeth Warren, we have Jessica Tarlov,” while another labeled her the “queen of the Karens.”

The sentiment among many Americans remains clear: Trump deserves more time before being judged on economic performance. A recent YouGov poll found that most respondents believe the president should be given at least six months in office before being held accountable for economic outcomes.
Tarlov’s attempt to shift blame onto Trump not only backfired but also underscored a broader sentiment among conservatives who see such attacks as baseless political grandstanding. As inflation continues to weigh on Americans, many are looking for genuine solutions, not political finger-pointing.
