Inflation rate more than halves after Trump's first full month back in office

In his first full month back in office, Trump oversaw a sharp slowdown in inflation, which fell more than expected in February. The monthly rate dropped by more than half from January under Biden as gas prices declined, energy costs eased, and core inflation hit a four-year low—early signs that Trump’s policies are already making an impact. - February’s monthly CPI increase of 0.2% was lower than expected, well below January's 0.5% under former President Joe Biden. - Energy prices dipped 0.2% in February, with gasoline prices falling 3.1%, offering relief to American consumers. - Core inflation, which excludes food and energy, also slowed to a 3.1% annual increase—its lowest level in four years—signaling that price pressures are easing. - E.J. Antoni, an economist at the Heritage Foundation, pointed to this dramatic reversal, noting on X that inflation had "reaccelerated since January of last year" before plummeting under Trump. His analysis shows that price growth, which had been stubbornly high throughout Biden’s presidency, immediately slowed once Biden left office. - https://mxmnews.com/article/246f067e-4109-4d02-9ad3-0a9932966dde?inflation-rate-more-than-halves-after-trump-s-first-full-month-back-in-office

It is still higher than when Biden left office and the reason it is going down is because we are entering a Trumpcession.  Consumers and Businesses aren't buying things because there is no stablity right now.  Trump's economics polices change day to day and sometimes by the hour. Businesses don't know if they need to fire or hire people and what products to produce. 

Good luck on getting your SS payments since they fired all that SS staff.

  HaHaHaHa! You have lost your mind....

biden was president in January & Trump was president in February.  Inflation rate went down in February from January.  Not difficult.

That said one month doesn't mean anything, but democrats were the ones screaming about inflation & even had slotnick ranting about it in her address.

Only a complete idiot fuck would think that inflation reduced because Trump assumed office. But also, only an idiot fuck would think that Trumpiffs will do anything but increase inflation.

Are you an idiot fuck, Tom? David certainly is!

David's mxm "news" "statistics" are completely bogus BTW.

😂 you conservatives were the ones posting all the shit on social media with price lists and so on. Poor Aaron was here almost everyday talking about how he couldn't afford anything. 

So do you agree we are heading towards a recession the cause of which is the uncertainty created by Trump's economic policy? Trump said on Sunday he wouldn't rule out a recession caused by his polices.

Think about that for a minute. Trump knows his economic polices are creating a worldwide recession and he says tough shit. Is someone fit to hold office when they intentionally drive the economy off the cliff because they think the result will be more money in his and his billionaire buddies pockets.

Trump and Elon want a recession becuause they are counting on comeing out the other side with having shifted the tax burden entirely upon the middle class and they simply don't care they are condemning the middle class to a lower standard of living. 

CNN reported this data from th BLS.  LAM lives in an alternate reality.

Inflation slowed more than expected in February and cooled for the first time in five months, The Consumer Price Index, which measures price changes across commonly purchased goods and services, was 2.8% for the 12 months ended in February, a cooldown from the 3% annual rate notched in January, according to data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics released Wednesday. On a monthly basis, prices rose 0.2%, versus 0.5% in January.

👋 I do think Trump is responsible. He is creating a recession with his polices and the uncertainty is leading business to layoff people and spend less. Consumers are spending less becuause they have been laid off or fear being laid off. Prices drop when folks quit buying stuff. It means we are entering a recessionary period. 

Quite a difference between "zero inflation on Day One" and "uh, well, I guess what I'm doing might cause a recession, but I don't give a fuck, because the only thing I care about is lowering my and Elon's taxes."

I wonder just how many MAGA converts are looking at what's happening and realizing they were played for fools. Probably a small minority. Trump has an amazing level of power over his cult, and their loyalty won't waver no matter what awful shit he says and does.

One thing we can be certain of is that when the Trumpcession hits, it'll all be BIDENZ FAWLT.
