Under President Trump, America is Defeating Inflation

America is beating inflation as President Donald J. Trump leads the country into the new Golden Age with lower costs, higher pay, and economic opportunity for all.

Here’s what you need to know from the latest Consumer Price Index:

• In May, inflation came in lighter than expected for yet another month.
  • Since President Trump took office, inflation has come in below economists’ expectations every single month.

• Core inflation held steady and remains at the lowest level since March 2021.
  • Under President Trump, core inflation has tracked at just 2.0% on an annual basis — levels not seen since the first Trump Administration, when prices were low and stable.

• Wage growth remains strong under President Trump.
  • In May, real wages for production and nonsupervisory workers saw the highest monthly increase in nearly a year — and have risen each month since President Trump took office, up nearly 2% over last year.
  • The average private sector worker is on track to see their real earnings increase by around $1,200, adjusted for inflation.

• Prices for everyday Americans continue to fall.
  • Energy prices fell by 1.0% over the last month — down 3.5% over the past year.
  • Gasoline prices have fallen each month since President Trump took office, down 2.6% over the past month and down 12% over the past year.
  • Prices in key areas — such as meats, poultry, eggs, airfares, used and new cars, and apparel — all went down over the past month.

Here’s what they’re saying:

• CNN’s Matt Egan: “We got ANOTHER month of positive inflation news. Despite these historic tariffs, the latest numbers do show that inflation remained relatively tame in May … This was better than expected … We did see a drop in energy prices. In particular, gas prices were low.”

• CNBC’s Mike Santoli: “There’s no way to look at these numbers and say they’re not welcome news.”

• CNBC’s Steve Liesman: “Not only did we get a decline in inflation expectations earlier this week from the important New York Fed report … I do not see broader impacts on inflation from the tariffs.”

• CNBC’s Rick Santelli: “Inflation certainly looks like it is cooling.”

• Fox Business Network’s Maria Bartiromo: “That is much better than expected.”

• Commentator Adam Johnson: “Now we’re talking about numbers that are down in the low twos — under 2.5% — and we’re seeing that now for three months in a row, so this is wonderful news.”

Prices in key areas — such as meats, poultry, eggs, airfares, used and new cars, and apparel — all went down over the past month.

Sure, but judging by the ones near me, Restaurants have decided that the only direction their prices go is up

[linMcHlp]

Price of gasoline at the pump, will increase, because of supply costs that are increasing, one of those costs being the price of steel.

Might be just a bit too early to start the cheering.

In my area, I have not seen any of these celebrated price drops, or even price stability yet. Sure, there are lots of items on "sale" and at "everyday low prices".

But the "sale" prices are higher than the regular prices were two months ago. And some of the packaging has changed with a lower quantity of product.

That is not a "lower rate of inflation". Who am I going to believe? The media or my own lying eyes? Maybe another month will tell a better story. I will start cheering then.

Here’s the inflation breakdown for December 2024 — in one chart

Actually, the inflation rate was 2.9% in December 2024 and this was without tariffs.

Overall, President Trump is doing an awesome job where the economy is concerned, including inflation.

The corrupt bimbos and pretentious 'men' of the press didn't report on the out of control inflation under Biden and they'll ignore the fact that Trump's got it under control - the press might be corrupt but their bias and hate is consistent... gotta give 'em that
