Donald Trump had increasing inflation every year of his presidency with the exception 2019 when Covid hit.
In 2020, Biden had low inflation (1.2%) because Covid was still dampening economic activity.
In 2021, Biden had higher inflation (4.7%) as we came out of Covid with high demands for goods and services
In 2022, Biden had high inflation (8%) due to shortages from abroad as demand outstripped supply.
In 2023, Biden had a drop in inflation to 4.1% due to actions of FED and decreases in shortages.
In 2024, Biden had a drop inflation to 3.2% as of August. due to action actions of the FED.
Currently inflation is 2.5% and the FED predicts inflation to continue falling slowly through the end of the year.
The take away is neither president was responsible for inflation increases or decreases simply because the president can not control the economy. Congress as well as economist recognized this many years ago in establishing the Federal Reserve and making the FED responsible for managing the economy with the goal of of having maximum economic growth with minimum inflation.
