“A new report underscores that President Trump has effectively tackled the inflation crisis left behind by the Biden Administration, even as self-proclaimed ‘experts’ find their predictions consistently off the mark. Thanks to President Trump’s robust tariffs, significant tax reductions for working families, and a sweeping deregulatory agenda, our economy is poised for a significant boom by 2026. Americans are already witnessing the results: workers’ wages are climbing, trillions in investments are flooding the nation, and economic growth is picking up pace.”
— White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt
Recent economic data released today reaffirms that inflation is firmly under control as American workers experience real wage increases in President Donald J. Trump’s administration.
Key Takeaways:
- Core inflation fell short of expectations. According to Bloomberg, this indicates “a more confident signal of cooling price growth after shutdown-related distortions” and provides “a convincing sign that inflation is on a downward trajectory.”
- President Trump has quelled Biden’s inflation crisis. Since President Trump assumed office, headline inflation has averaged 2.4%, significantly lower than the 3% annual rate he inherited from Biden. Core inflation mirrors this trend at 2.4%, down from the 3.3% left by Biden.
- Wages are on the rise. Real weekly earnings in the private sector are projected to increase by 4% during President Trump’s first full year in office, outpacing inflation. In fact, private sector workers may realize a real wage increase of $1,100, regaining some of the purchasing power lost under Biden.
- Blue-collar workers are witnessing tangible benefits. Goods-producing workers—the backbone of American industry—are expected to see their real annual earnings rise by $1,300 in President Trump’s first full year. Specifically, mining and logging workers may see increases of $2,200, construction workers $1,400, and manufacturing workers $1,300.
- Cars are becoming more affordable under President Trump. Latest reports indicate that vehicle prices continue to drop, with Trump’s policies enabling automakers to achieve their best sales year since 2019.
- Bloomberg’s Chris Anstey notes, “[D]espite many analysts predicting a price spike for the 2026 model year, with automakers expected to pass along tariff increases, that just really hasn’t materialized.”
