Three Key Takeaways:
- CNN’s admission that inflation is going down after a recent report caught Donald Trump’s attention, leaving Democrats in a difficult position, as it contradicted their narrative of an economy in crisis under his leadership.
- The February inflation report showed a drop, with consumer prices increasing by just 2.8% year-over-year, easing fears of inflation reaccelerating, and offering a positive shift after months of rising prices.
- Despite Democrats’ attempts to blame Trump for soaring costs, early economic data – including lower gas prices and egg prices dropping after bird flu disruptions – suggests a positive trajectory for the economy under Trump’s leadership.
Donald Trump has battled with CNN for nearly a decade.
But what he heard from the left-wing network caught his attention.
And Donald Trump heard two surprising words on CNN that left Democrats in awful shape.
CNN admits that inflation is going down after a new report
President Donald Trump inherited a sluggish economy after four years of destructive policies under former President Joe Biden.
Biden created the worst inflation in 40 years after going on a multi-trillion-dollar socialist spending spree.
The first inflation report of Trump’s Presidency – which covered the end of Biden’s time in office – made it appear that it was accelerating again after it increased from the previous month.
Democrats and their media allies seized on this to create a narrative that Trump was driving up prices.
Predictions rolled in that his tariffs would begin to drive up prices for consumers and reignite inflation.
CNN business reporter Matt Egan said the February inflation report was “very encouraging” after a drop.
“Finally, we have some good news on the economy and really the number one issue for many Americans, the cost of living,” Egan said. “So we just learned that consumer prices in February increased by 2.8% year-over-year, 0.2% month-over-month. Both of these figures were a step in the right direction. And both were better than expected.”
The Consumer Price Index (CPI) increased by 0.2% after rising 0.5% in January.
Inflation was accelerating at the end of the Biden administration because he tried to juice the economy to help former Vice President Kamala Harris in the 2024 Election.
Treasury Department data revealed the government spent $3.03 trillion during the last five months of the fiscal year compared to $2.68 trillion during the same period a year ago.
Prices are moving in the right direction
Egan said that the report eased the nerves of those worried about inflation reigniting.
“So this is definitely very encouraging to see because it’s going to, I think, relieve some fears that inflation was perhaps reaccelerating because this actually breaks a streak of four straight months . . . where the inflation rate was going in the wrong direction, right?” Egan explained. “It was going higher and higher. Finally, we’re seeing it dip. Not back to the 2% goal, but nice to see it cool off here.”
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt celebrated the news on social media.
“Lowest Core Inflation in Four Years, lowest Mortgage Rates since December, Airline Fares DOWN, Gas Prices DOWN,” Leavitt wrote on X.
Gas prices dropped to their lowest level since March 2021, according to Gas Buddy.
Democrats and their media allies were using a bogus attack on Trump over the price of eggs to hit him on the economy.
Egg prices have surged after the Biden administration slaughtered more than 130 million egg-laying hens last year because of bird flu.
The Department of Agriculture has been taking proactive steps to battle bird flu.
Egg prices have dropped $2 from an all-time high earlier in March.
The early economic data is encouraging for Donald Trump despite the predictions of doom coming from the media.
