Re-setting trade and supply issues with China are important objectives, but their benefits will be medium- to long-term. It is to President Trump's credit that they are at last being attacked.
While this weeks' election results were awful, a lot can change in a year. If there's no improvement, the mid-terms will be tough.
The Post’s headline is over-dramatic, as is typical of everything they publish. Inflation persists in being problematic, but “raging” is, of course, an exaggeration.
The Federal Reserve has TDS.
Washington Post in 2022 when inflation was over 8%, more than TWICE today:

It’s not Biden’s fault.
2024, https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2024/11/14/inflation-american-rescue-plan-covid/
It’s under control and Biden did all he can to fix it.

It’s nice to have the libtard media basically practice apologetics (for them this is religious) for one.
Now inflation is at 3.0%, it’s a problem, and Trump is to blame.
Trump is right to focus on energy. When oil goes down all prices go down. The Post is a tabloid run by aussie trash. They have some good columnists but that’s it.
I was listening to reports from known Conservative sources Trump got a wakeup call and his economic plan was off the rails...If the SCOTUS rules against him on the tariffs and its looking more like they will, his duck is cooked.
Wait until the dumbasses at the New Yawk “media” start blaming all of Hans Gruber Dummani’s Screwups on Trump. All the Muzzie mammies won’t be able to buy food for their kids or their goats.
Frankly, inflation tamed to acceptable level.
There will always be an inflation, because of gov wants it that way.
Inflation is the least of my worries right now.
Rise of terror, communism, crime and illicit drugs are.
Government deficit is probably the most scariest thing right now. And thinking how Schumer fights to rise it by another trillion or two!
Trump doesn’t set the prices for those things. Neither did Joe Pedo. The CEOs do that.
Price of eggs has come down - a lot
Biden inflation hit as high as 9 %. We are at 3% now.
This is booschidt. I don’t see any illegal aliens going home because they can’t afford the “American Dream Better Life” here. They are all happier than pigs in crap with the financial situation here. It’s only the self-unemployed Americans who are bitching because they have no money and have to riot for Soros and the Muzzies to have the dough to buy cat food.
My experience shopping is that prices are relatively stagnant. They were a bit higher after jan 21 2025 (was Joe Autopen legacy, and fear of what Trump was gonna’ do), but prices are stable to lower for me buying the same stuff. Dishonest reporting.
I don’t know about elsewhere. But grocery prices are up in my neck of the woods. It’s very noticeable. If that’s due to Trump’s tariffs, I’m okay with that. In the long run, I think tariffs will be good for this country.
But here’s the thing. Trump wants the Fed to lower interest rates. That will do nothing to rein in the current inflation. Something gotta give here.
And whatever that is, it won’t help Republican chances in the 2026 midterms.
Interesting. During the Biden administration, prices were up 9% and not a peep from you guys. Now, prices are up on some goods by half as much and the world is coming to an end. Also, you cherry-picked Target, Walmart, and Amazon because they sell mostly items that are imported. The last numbers I saw was a CPI of 2.9%.
Also, the whole idea behind tariffs is to increase the price of imports, which will induce more domestic production and jobs. The bad news is that these supply effects to lower prices require increases in plant and equipment, and that takes time. In the short run, the only thing to do is avoid imported goods when you can.
2025 Thanksgiving dinner under Trump is 25% lower than 2024 Thanksgiving dinner under Biden, according to WalmartKeep enjoying turkey, gravy, mashed spuds, and jello salad all year long.
So, now, instead of 60 cents/pound, bananas are 65 cents/pound? *yawn*
Typical of the Post's garbage propaganda...
If democrats were in charge, all we’d be hearing is how they reduced inflation (because it wasn’t as bad as someone predicted).
