Trump, inflation, and ‘Day One’ - Washington Examiner

The Bureau of Labor Statistics says inflation increased 3% on an annual basis in January .

The consumer price index has been creeping upward since the fall of 2024 .

Food away from home is up 3.4% from a year ago ; meat, poultry, fish, and eggs are up 6.1% ; and nonalcoholic beverages are up 2.2% ..

Much of that belief is based on Trump ’s early efforts on the border and immigration, which was the second -most important reason he was elected. But 66% say Trump has not focused enough so far on lowering prices. They don’t expect results immediately, but they want to see Trump working on it. That’s something Trump and the entire White House should always keep at the top of their list of priorities..
