Consumer prices fell 0.1% in March, defying predictions that President Trump’s tariffs would spike inflation.
It’s the first monthly drop since 2021 and only the second since Biden-era inflation took off.
Looks like Trump’s economic critics might need to recalculate.
He said he would bring them down, and this is just the beginning.
“Starting on day one, we will end inflation and make America affordable again, to bring down the prices of all goods,” Trump said.
Here’s a post from his son:
BREAKING: Inflation drops to 2.4% for the month of March – Lower than the expected 2.5%.
And Core CPI inflation falls below 3.0% – The lowest since March 2021.
