Just wait for a few months to really feel the effect. This is only the preview. Trump is tanking the economy before our eyes with his tariffs

Well, first of all, inflation always existed in the current economic system that we have. Trump could be making it worse.

Greed. The reason it always costs so much. No matter who’s in office it doesn’t matter. Corporations see a decline in consumers and raise prices to counter the lower revenue.

Inflation has slowed, but prices are still high because inflation measures rate of increase, not price level.
Inflation down ≠ prices down. It just means prices aren’t rising as fast as before, not that they’ve gone back to 2019 levels.
Groceries stay high due to lasting supply chain costs, labor shortages, fuel prices, and corporate markups.
Politicians sometimes say “no inflation” meaning the rate is stable now, but that can sound misleading since people still feel the price level.
So, Trump’s statement isn’t accurate …. inflation has eased, but prices remain elevated.

Because they.measure it month to month to.hide when it really went up.
Because your government isnt being truthful. The country is being cooked.
I really doubt anyone with a entry level understanding of finance or economics didn’t see how this was going to play out.
Now on-boarding manufacturing isnt bad, but overall the administration’s methods and side quests of questionable integrity leave you questioning if even the changes that could be beneficial are intended to be beneficial or instead simply another method to cause further damage for personal gain.
Unfortunately critical thinking was tossed out the window, instead everyone wants to cheer for their team ( left vs right ) as taught.
China is where the USA was during the 1970’s. I believe a country’s health can be directly inferred from how it treats infastructure investment / maintenance and you can draw a very stark conclusion comparing the two ( usa vs china )

We have a devaluing of the dollar and record high corporate revenue.

He saying that cause he wants the FED to lower interest rates even more, but it doesn’t work that way, lower rates less growth

I believe that the way inflation is calculated has been changed over the years to make the figure lower. See the following link for the grisly truth [shadowstats](https://www.shadowstats.com/)

There is always inflation. Every month. “Lowering inflation” means it still happens, just to a lesser degree.

Who ever says there is no inflation is a liar. Inflation is a stated goal of the federal reserve.

This administration just lies and says what it *wants* to be true.
It’s like watching one of those people who read The Secret (dumb book) and think that if they just believe it hard enough, it will become reality.
It’s not working, the people are paying the price for all of their actions and decisions, while they lie and cheat and manipulate markets to enrich themselves and other wealthy merchants around the world.
We have a low merchant class acting as if they are kings of the earth.

Which was years ago. Now not so much
But if you take it from 2020 it’s up 20% at least
