That is just not true. Current inflation is at 2.4%. The last time it was at that rate was September 2024, almost four years after trump left office.
Obviously given the time delay in cause and effect, we will be seeing the inflation trump caused in a few months to a year. Inflation expectations are moving up fast, and at the highest level since 1981(when they were dropping). We can expect double digit inflation for the first time in almost half a century.

Yes, it IS true.
Correct. All items for the 12 months ending March 2025.
Yes, during September 2024, when Dems had to "put on a front" because the election was coming up, "all items" inflation per BLS dropped down to the same 2.4% (which, like I said, is the lowest rate since Trump's first term). Technically, it was at the VERY VERY beginning of the Shadow Government's term, but that was a result of inheriting Trump's policies. Inflation only went up up up from there, for YEARS, until it was finally "election season" again.
So we start with the claim that the BLS figures are the lowest in over four years, and go on to the claim that they are not, because the BLS is lying. GFM cannot even keep his story straight.
If GFM's second conspiracy theory claim is correct, then maybe the current BLS are all lies by trump. Given the threats made against the BLS by trump, that is vaguely possible. Honestly, we may be looking at the last legitimate numbers from the BLS before massive layoffs.
The last statistics were for March 2025. That is half a year after September 2024. There are no "years" in that period.
The fact is that inflation has been bouncing around between 2.4 and 3.4% for about a year. Biden was able to get inflation down to nearly 2%, but that last 1% seems to be difficult. We have seen that before, and it would have taken years of sacrifice to get that last 1%. It is worth it for the decades of effortless low inflation, but it is not quick.
Would have taken, because trump has decided to go a different direction, and increase inflation. Over the next year or so, we will see double digit inflation for the first time since men wore bell bottom pants and danced to disco. Half a century of fighting inflation is being thrown out by trump.
We will be paying the price for trump for the rest of our lives.

Yup, and they are (especially the so-called "core" figure, meaning all items less food and energy).
Never happened.
Never claimed that they were.
Wrong. The issue is that YOU can't properly follow a conversation, so you make shit up instead.
None of this happened.
We will be paying for trump for the rest of our lives. With any luck, our children, or grandchildren might not be paying for trump for the rest of their lives.
Here is a simple question, if inflation is double digits in 2028, who here will vote for trump in a third unconstitutional term?

Correct.
Correct, and that "tied with March 2025" figure is the lowest since the transition between Trump and the Shadow Government, ergo Trump's first term.
Yes, there are. Roughly four years, in fact.
Yes, because "about a year" was conveniently during "election season". What about the three years before then?
Biden didn't do anything; stop pretending that Biden was even CAPABLE of doing anything other than drooling, mumbling and screaming incoherently, and pooping his depends.
Yup, during Trump's first term.
It's been going down during Trump's term.
