Americans are weary of ever-rising prices. The economy was one of the factors that pushed Donald Trump to victory. 

But can President Trump fix the inflation problem?

In this episode of the Money Metals' Midweek Memo, host Mike Maharrey looks at inflation in the context of a Trump presidency. He explains why he doesn't think inflation is going anywhere and there is not much the president can do about it -- through no fault of his own. Along the way, he covers the November Federal Reserve meeting and throws in a little political philosophy. He also shares some early projections on 2024 silver demand.
