Core inflation rose at an annualized rate of 3.1% in July, the Bureau of Labor Statistics announced on Tuesday, as President Donald Trump's nonsensical tariffs led to rising prices for American consumers. The current topline figure is 2.7% This is .2 percentage points higher than the previous month’s figure.

That 3.1% annualized rate is the fastest rising inflation rate in five months, and higher than the 2.9% annualized rate BLS clocked in July 2024, according to The New York Times.

"For two years inflation was declining toward the [Federal Reserve Bank’s] target. That seems to be over," University of Michigan economics professor Justin Wolfers wrote in a post on X.

Economists agree.

"Trump was handed a stable economy. I expected them to screw up either the labor market, prices, or growth. I didn't expect them to fumble all three," Mike Konczal, senior director of policy and research at the Economic Security Project, wrote in a post on X.


The only reason Trump beat Harris by a measley 1 1/2 points was because of higher prices and inflation. You know, the things he said he would bring down on day one. This hurts his voters in red rural districts the most. Not only has he made life more unaffordable for them, but his big billionaire bill is closing hospitals in those districts, and they are losing health care benefits. And his tariffs are the highest tax increase on them since the McKinnley administration, only making it worse.

This is not going to go over well in the elections for Republicans. Who are just hanging themselves by making excuses for Taco Pedo at townhalls they're getting booed out of.

the only reason Trump beat Harris is because even Democrats didn't want her to replace brain dead Biden

It actually isnt that bad. Wages are increasing more than inflation and the middle class got a tax cut. Gas and food is down unless you live in a democrat state.

Harris lost 13 million voters from the previous election, every battleground state, every county, and the EC votes were a landslide for Trump. Democrats lost members from every demographic.

The tariffs have had little effect.

Gubment teatsucker skrewey lecturing us about inflation.....hahahahahahahahahahahahaha
312-226 is a landslide there, math genius.
 
The first year is to change course: cut the size of government, deport illegals and give jobs back to American citizens, increase wages, increase revenue from tariffs and hopefully weaken China.

It's not easy to try and address the global socialism the U.S has been funding for 30 years.

Yes, REAL wages are rising while they shrank under Biden.

The question is------------>was it LOWER than it was under BIDEN/HARRIS? We can elect people to fix it going forward, but what we can NOT do is have an absolute DISASTER in office while we are trying.
 
We will have disaster with Trump if he is not corralled.

Biden pulled us out of Trump's inflation crisis because he mismanaged Covid response and shipping.,

Trump will do much worse.

It may be October and November before MAGA goes "oh, no."
~~~~~~
Funny, I thought the same about Biden and he made it to Han 2025 even though his brain was broiled and roasted. He had a shadow government running the U.S.
At least we know that Trump in is in the Captains chair not a so called appointee.
 
Trump, imo, is losing his mind. I think it is paresis of the brain.

Yes, he is in charge, and Biden is no part of this discussion other than he left Trump with an inflation rate of about 3% because of the good work of Powell and the Fed.

I don't think Trump believes that the tariffs will cause very unhappy inflation for Americans.

I think by October we will know for sure.

Do remember that Americans live of Main Street not Market and Wall Streets.

John Edgar Slow Horses It was all good economic news today... what is wrong with you?... inflation in check and stock market booming... Next month the Fed will lower rates and it will trickle down to mortgage loans and the economy will take off... SS recipients will see a raise and people will start buying homes again which will boost the construction sector....

The GLOBAL inflation when Biden came into office was because of Oil price hikes... This was confirmed by the world bank...

Trump was the one who got a global deal to cut the supply of Oil globally by 12.5% after encouragement from Oil Lobbyists and the US Oil companies themselves. Trump leveraged everything that US had, Weapons, to get that.

This left Biden little cards to play in getting them to increase Oil production... Biden did get a massive increase in US Oil Production but Oil is a Global Commodity which means US Oil Companies sell to the highest bidder...

Trump wanted one thing when he came to ioffice, lower taxes for the rich, he got that. Deficit is sky rocketing, his tariff plan is brain dead, US is loosing respect around the world...

38% victory.
 
We got lucky today, and now we have government mixed up info going to appear next month.

And you call this 'good news.'

Short of complete economic collapse, we will weather any woes the country undergoes.

Or a nuclear attack.

But the great majority of Americans are threatened by Trump's presidency, and we years to go.
