It was 3.0 when Trump took office, 2.4 last month, 2.3 this month.

Inflation DOWN 35% since Trump took office. The msm was saying 2.7% was the new normal inflation as late as November 2024.

How could tarrifs ever cause INFLATION.

Do they print money?

Does the media ever know English?

Only inflation causes inflation (expansion of the money supply).

Inflation can be caused by more than just money supply expansion. There are lots of reasons to raise prices. Tarrifs on countries exploiting labor and their people to gain economic advantage isn't usually one of them.

Nigger, they provide the formulae for those numbers on that website. They are the official numbers and the are simply used to compare the costs of specific items over time, yac dumb that. They manipulate those numbers by changing what they price, but changes are noted. Inflation is down 35% since Trump took office despite fucking idiots believing that these tariffs would cause Inflation to spike.
