Inflation slows to a four-year low, ‘better than expected’

The inflation rate slowed in March, giving President Trump another win as he seeks to course-correct America’s economic ship.

While still above the Federal Reserve’s goal, the pace of inflation was slower than expected, decreasing by 0.1% in March, Fox Business reported.

Medical and education costs were among notable indexes that rose, but lower energy prices were the driving force for the overall economic news, with a decrease of 2.4% from the previous month, and a steep 6.1% drop in gas prices, Fox reported.

BREAKING: Inflation is down to 2.4% — its lowest level in 4 years.

You hired President Trump to make life more affordable & it’s working.

CNN responded to the .1% drop, saying it’s the “first time we’ve seen that since Covid.”

“Consumer prices month-over-month, so this was actually a drop of .1% — that’s the first time we’ve seen that since COVID. Year-over-year, the annual inflation rate was at 2.4%. This was also better than expected and a 6-month low.”

The news was another example of “promises made, promises kept” and was celebrated among those not affected by Trump Derangement Syndrome:

CNBC ECSTATIC over Trump’s March inflation report: “Coming in UNDER! Minus 1/10th on headline! Minus 1/10th. We were expecting the exact opposite, up 1/10th. Minus 1/10th? We’re equal to May in 2020… to find a lower number, April 2020… if we take food and energy, still… pic.twitter.com/Yl3alst4gO

It’s almost like President Trump had been saying since before the election “If you bring down energy, everything else comes with it”. Weird.

A rhetorical question if there ever was one.
