The first three of these will cause more inflation.  The latter two will reduce inflation, but not as much as the first three increase it. 
He is not going to undo or pause the extra infrastructure spending Biden got going. 

Only three things can reduce inflation at this point.  Either large scale tax increases, large scale spending cuts, or large scale government investments in new production capacity such as factories, mines, mills, etc.  None of those three things are on the table regardless of who wins, based on the proposals they've put on the table so far. 

Inflation is going to sink Biden. But it shouldn't.  Trump has no plan.
