Inflation Drops to 2.8% in February, Media Pushes Fear Tariffs Will Counter It

Inflation Drops to 2.8% in February, Media Pushes Fear Tariffs Will Counter It

In February, U.S. inflation eased to 2.8%, slightly below expectations.

And that’s only after President Trump has been in office a little over 1 month.

However, liberals are trying to stir up fear his new tariffs on steel and aluminum imports are going to break the bank.

They say those tariffs will lead to future price hikes.

The current dip offers some relief and a glimpse at what’s to come.

Despite what the anti-Trump media says to spin any positive action his administration accomplishes, there’s no stopping the prosperity headed our way.

Will it get a bit bumpy in the near future? Sure. Their debt-based slave system has to come down. And then we transition into a new system.

The inflation rate is down to 2.8%!

New York Post reports:

US inflation slowed more than expected in February, with core inflation posting its smallest gain since 2021 — although the data was gathered before President Trump began to ramp up his tariff wars this month.

The Consumer Price Index rose 2.8% over the past 12 months — below the 2.9% gain that economists had expected and also below last month’s surprisingly strong 3% reading, the Bureau of Labor Statistics said Wednesday.

Core CPI, which excludes volatile food and energy prices, came in at 3.1% — the lowest reading since April 2021.

Dow Jones futures rose 223 points, or 0.5%, on the softer inflation report. S&P 500 futures jumped 0.8% higher, and Nasdaq 100 futures gained about 0.9%.

“The tariff-battered markets are going to breathe a sigh of relief this morning, as higher inflation was the only thing that could make things worse,” Chris Zaccarelli, chief investment officer at Northlight Asset Management, said in a note.

Keep that fear going, liberals! ‘Tariffs will destroy everything!’

They act like tariffs is Covid part 2.

A rapidly intensifying global trade war, where more countries retaliate against Trump tariffs when #inflation is still around 3% (headline 2.8%, core 3.1%), is not really that comforting. pic.twitter.com/lrc0XLMs9t

Uh-oh, did a reporter on CNN say something was going good in the economy on President Trump’s watch?

Will he still have a job tomorrow?

Inflation dropped to 2.8% in February during President Trump’s term, proving his 25% tariffs on cars from Canada and Mexico are effective. Exhausted from all this winning, America’s Golden Age is officially underway! #WednesdayVibe

Happy hump day
