In a stunning rebuke to the doom-and-gloom predictions of the far-left media and so-called economic “experts,” the latest data confirms what President Donald Trump promised: Inflation is plummeting under strong, America-first leadership.
While the Biden-era inflation crisis crippled family budgets with prices soaring past 9% in 2022, Trump’s return to the Oval Office has unleashed a wave of economic stability.
The February Consumer Price Index (CPI) report released last on March showed annual inflation dropping to 2.8% (compared to 3.0% in January), defying expectations and marking another victory for Trump’s pro-growth agenda.
The rate is getting closer to the Federal Reserve’s target of around 2%, which is considered healthy and sustainable. Too high inflation erodes purchasing power and raises living costs, while too low inflation can stall economic growth and lead to job losses.
However, the latest numbers from the Truflation US Inflation Index reveal that inflation has plummeted to just 1.46%, far below the Biden-era highs and even the current BLS-reported rate of 2.8%.
The data, updated April 7, 2025, reflects a massive turnaround in the American economy — one that’s been quietly happening under the radar since President Trump’s return to economic influence.
The year began with inflation peaking at over 3%, but under Trump-aligned economic momentum, prices have dramatically cooled. The year-to-date low sits at 1.22%, a milestone that hasn’t been seen in years.
On Friday, Trump wrote on Truth Social:
“This would be a PERFECT time for Fed Chairman Jerome Powell to cut Interest Rates. He is always “late,” but he could now change his image, and quickly. Energy prices are down, Interest Rates are down, Inflation is down, even Eggs are down 69%, and Jobs are UP, all within two months – A BIG WIN for America. CUT INTEREST RATES, JEROME, AND STOP PLAYING POLITICS!”
(Note from Truflation: Truflation’s inflation data diverges significantly from the Consumer Price Index (CPI) published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) due to methodological and structural differences. Truflation aggregates over 14 million real-time data points daily, capturing prices across diverse categories such as food, housing, and utilities, and updates its inflation index continuously. In contrast, the BLS relies on around 80,000 manually collected data points, reported monthly with a lag of several weeks. For instance, as of April 6, 2025, Truflation’s inflation rate was 1.22%, while recent BLS data typically trends higher due to its reliance on lagging metrics such as Owner’s Equivalent Rent (OER), which inaccurately reflects real-time housing costs).
