Will prices ever go down?
Trump gets voted in because economy went to shit under Biden, thinking Trump could fix it. He ends up making it worse. Now mass firings of employees are everywhere with no job taking in anyone but Indians and using AI. And jobs barely pay much and cost of living is ridiculous now. Yet somehow the CEOs of all these companies have made more money than they ever had. What's genuinely going to happen if no one can get a job or afford to even live anymore? I highly doubt people will retaliate and cause all these rich fucks to flee the country. If no one can work or get money to afford things, how does company stay afloat?

>ever go down
No but it has nothing to do with elected politicians or electoral politics, which is completely divorced/segregated from the post-1970s Financialized global economy.
As long as the U.S. Congress (and other western governments) which holds the power of purse strings aka their job is to control spending, continues to approve $2T/annum budgets, the overall problem of inflation in the Real Economy of goods/services/commodities will continue.
Trump, his new 2025 administration came into office with the intention of significantly cutting gov spending but can only do that (not by Trump's word alone but) by the Congress, and mainly with help from Trump's own party the GOP elected pols in U.S. Congress, making the decision(s) to reduce spending. Apart from a dogged few Repbulicans in the Congress (called the 'freedom coalition') the rest of the Congress votes together to continually increase fedgov spending. So the administration has a plan to—hopefully, rolling the dice—increase U.S. annual gdp growth rate from its current anemic 2% up to around 5 or 6 percent. Which doesn't solve the debt or interest payment problems but at bare minimum could keep the U.S. gov from hitting brick wall of Total Default which it will in four years if the Real Economy of goods-services-commodities doesn't grow fast enough.
U.S. gov is being engulfed by Interest Payments on its own ever-rising debt, which have now swamped discretionary speending.
