Moron I've already cited your own data, what is it you think you are going to refute by reposting it?
Obama 2013 - 1.5% - LOW inflation
Obama 2014 - 1.6% - LOW inflation
Obama 2015 - 0.1% - very LOW inflation
Obama 2016 - 1.3% - LOW inflation
Trump 2017 - 2.1% - just slightly above Fed target inflation.
What don't you get?

I understand basics far better than you do, as shown by my being the only one who is presenting data/numbers.
2% inflation is considered IDEAL for economy and is generally target rate Federal reserve aims for.
Inflation is not some dirty word, EXCESSIVE INFLATION is the problem, which is what is being discussed in the thread while you don't even seem to understand these bare basics.
In your link inflation numbers in Obama's second term into Trump's first term are LOW inflation numbers.
Which go back further than most recent administrations.
BTW; "EXCESSIVE INFLATION" is relative and subjective term. And like all inflation, is something that adds to the previous inflation rates.
That "2% Ideal" is rarely achieved or maintained for long. As, AGAIN, the following data/numbers show;

No you haven't. Nor have you grasped the correct context.
You being an idiot, I don't expect you to understand being refuted.
I present for the benefit of the others reading here who might be fooled into thinking you have a clue what is being discussed.

The policies where domestic energy companies are saddled with egregious regulations and restrictions is the dumbest thing you can do when the economy is driven by oil.
Don’t like oil? Come up with an alternative that is viable to drive the economy and lower costs.

Biden (son of Obama) 2021 - 4.7% HIGH Inflation
Biden 2022 - 8.0% VERY High Inflation
Biden 2023 - 4.1% HIGH Inflation
Biden 2024 - 2.9% Way above "target" Inflation
What don't you get ?
Are you a Dumbass or just a plain liar ???
Oil aka petroleum is major raw material for synthetics ~'plastics'.
i.e. petroleum/Oil is a raw resource as much as an energy source.
Other carbon resources are more difficult and expensive to use as "raw materials" in place of petroleum.

Moron, not a word of that addresses Obama handing off solid economy to Trump in 2017, which was at discussion.
You are all over the place, but since you bring up 2021-2024 inflation - can you think of something perhaps happening in 2020 that wrecked supply- demand balance and caused GLOBAL inflation phenomenon?

The federal reserve, fiat currency, and going off the Gold StandardFirst off, it was Biden and the Democrats who had a four year inflation rate total of about 20%. So, when Trump has like 2.8% inflation, it gets added onto the inflation we already had under Democrats. So, prices under Trump are 22.8% higher than prices were four years ago. Then, you have to also consider that the blue states are the ones with higher prices and Trump can't do that much for blue state inflation. Democrats own that.
The Democrats have decided that “affordability” is the issue that will win the next election cycle. Are they daft? The most unaffordable states and cities in the country are Democrat strongholds.
Over-reaction by tyrannical Democrat political leaders to a flu-like illness that resulted in economic shut-downs and un-neccesary disruption of supply and demand balance through un-needed and oppressive social and economic restrictions/constrictions.
i.e. socialist fascists like you fabricating a phony crisis to exert oppressive social controls and restraints.
Followed by "election" of a Democratic idiot for POTUS. (And other Democratic idiots in city and state governments)

Your stupid bullshit never ends does it?
Here is Trump in 2020, urging shutdowns:
Trump calls for shutdown until April 30
President Donald Trump is extending the voluntary national shutdown for a month as sickness and death from the coronavirus pandemic rise in the U.S.

It wasn't flat. It was growing, low unemployment economy.
Trump1 Real GDP growth is in yellow, do you see any growth we didn't see under Obama? I don't.
And what did Bush and Trump hand off? Steaming pile of crap to dig out of is what they handed off.

However he didn't MANDATE/ORDER "shut-downs". That was mostly Democrat State Governors who exceeded their legal authority.

Another post, another load of bullshit. You just can't help it can you?
19 of the 26 Republican governors issued shutdown orders with Trump's support.
