Trump vowed to slash prices — inflation just hit highest in months



Despite President Donald Trump’s repeated claims that there is “no inflation,” consumer prices jumped in June, rising to an annual rate of 2.7%—the highest level in months. Economists cite the President’s tariffs, now beginning to take effect, along with rising costs for food, energy, and rent.


The Consumer Price Index increase “is slightly higher than expected and is up from an annual pace of 2.4 percent in May,” according to The New York Times.

ABC News called it “a notable surge of price increases as President Trump’s tariff policy took hold.”


“Worsening inflation poses a political challenge for President Donald Trump, who promised during last year’s presidential campaign to immediately lower costs,” the Associated Press reported Tuesday, noting that inflation “rose last month to its highest level since February as President Donald Trump’s sweeping tariffs push up the cost of a range of goods.”


Inflation is the highest in months, as the Trump tariffs begin to take effect. You can expect a steady increase in the inflation rate as the tariffs, another tax on Americans, takes effect. It may very well rise above 3% in July. It is hard to say where it will peak, at this point. Will trump once again back off his worldwide tariff threats?
The “highest in months” …where it has been back to the lows.

I know y’all got nothing else to bang on at this point, but come on. This from the party of “it’s just transitory inflation”.

Bidenflation wrecked this country and people’s savings accounts:

 
Biden's inflation was about 20% over four years. Trump's inflation has been in the 2's and even the 4th quarter won't be a year for Trump.
Do you, always, just make shit up. Do you ever research anything you say other than making sure it passes the sniff test of your cult leader Donald Trump. You are full of shit and you are speaking it out continually.

Do you ever think for yourself or let Joy Reid tells you how to think?

Educate yourself, drudge.
You are quoting compounding inflation. The inflation, previously discussed, is aggregated comparative inflation. The more common inflation discussed.
Trump's recently quoted 2.7% inflation would be higher if quoting compounded inflation. You don't have a clue.
Read the articles below before you start popping off about inflation which you don't have grasp

Over four years Biden’s inflation added up to just a hair under 20%. Hell, it was almost 10% in just one year. You know that is the truth.

Do some research and provide actual numbers with an explanation of how the numbers were determined. There is plenty to call out on inflation during the Biden administration. You don't have to make shit up to show it.
But every country in the world had inflation after COVID. Biden was not President of those countries.
The 20% can be arrived by compounding the inflation during Biden's's admin. If you use a compounding figure for Trump's first term it would be close to 10%. But the common inflation number used is a comparative number by time frame. Biden had 4.9% and Trump, in his first term had 2.5%. Plus you need to compare inflation with earnings growth Biden had earnings growth of 19% while Trump had earnings growth of 15% in his first tyerm. I know you don't understand any of this.
But I am impressed on how intelligent I am.

In other words, blame all of Biden's bad numbers on Trump or something else so they don't count. But Trump's numbers count.

The problem is you insist on using facts. MAGA don't need no stinkin' fact.
 
The MAGA minions will refuse to believe it. As inflation increases over the months to come, and it will, MAGA will start saying inflation is good.
Fact is that there is always inflation......every year there is inflation.
What there isn't every year is inflation that your master, Biden was
producing for this country.

Sheesh
