Well, here we go again. The left is scrambling to spin the latest inflation numbers as part of their ongoing narrative against President Trump. The headlines scream doom and gloom, but don’t be fooled. The truth is, what’s been revealed is nothing short of a victory for common-sense economic policies. The Consumer Price Index rose by a mere 0.3% last month, leading to an annual rate of 2.7%. This is a bit higher than the Federal Reserve’s target, sure, but still a far cry from the catastrophe the left has been shrieking about for months.
To be clear, the uptick in the CPI does not appear to be from tariffs; import prices were flat M/M in May and preliminary data shows only a small increase for Jun; the big culprit here was energy – all the more reason why we need more domestic production: https://t.co/yvuuIBjGmC pic.twitter.com/8N91qfm3Ou

The smart money on Wall Street expected more. They anticipated a larger hike in core inflation. Instead, the increase was smaller. That’s a blow to those hoping to pin their economic failures on Trump’s trade agenda. Mainstream media refuses to report that inflation has been on a downward slope for a while. This comes despite the incessant cries from liberals predicting economic apocalypse.
Let’s break it down. The uptick isn’t due to tariffs. Import prices have been relatively stable, putting to rest liberal talking points blaming Trump’s tough trade measures for inflation. The real culprit here is energy costs, making it crystal clear why America needs to boost domestic energy production. The left’s disastrous energy policies are under the microscope, and they don’t want you to see the failure.
Economists agree—there’s no smoking gun here connecting Trump’s tariffs to rising prices. If anything, the President’s policies are paying off in keeping inflation in check. The left couldn’t root for economic hardship more if they tried, just to score political points. Yet, here we are, still lower inflation under Trump than what we saw during Biden’s tenure. They wish you’d forget this inconvenient fact.
Fed up with the left’s economic fearmongering? Well, so are we. It’s high time America supports media that tells the truth, with no agenda to undermine national interests for some globalist fantasy. The liberals can spin, distort, and lie, but the results speak for themselves. Their endless quest to paint doom and gloom isn’t fooling anyone. Here’s a question that rips apart their fantasy: Why is America’s inflation doing better now, under a leader who puts his own country first?
