Official economic data indicates that consumer prices are continuing to rise rather than falling rapidly.
According to PolitiFact, overall prices have increased by about 4.3% and grocery prices have risen by 3.4% since Donald Trump began his term in January 2025, with federal data showing that with few exceptions, prices have been going up. Reporting from CBS News confirms that consumers face sharply higher costs for many necessities two years into his term rather than lowered costs. Furthermore, ms.now reports that consumer prices climbed once again, directly undermining claims that prices are decreasing.
