Trump Treasury Guy ‘Predicts’ Lower Consumer Prices Months from Now?

This IS Interesting…..

‘Promises ‘ from Trump & Co. ain’t something one can count on…..

 

Midterms ARE coming……

And the Lousy Econmy will do Republicanbs NO favors….

Trump’s other stuff ain’t helping either…..

Oh?

Grocery prices will come down, and consumers should feel a real rebound in purchasing power in the first half of 2026, the Trump administration’s top economic officials said Sunday.

Why it matters: The government’s own inflation data keeps ticking up, as most shoppers say they’re paying more for groceries now than a year ago.

• The affordability crisis has become a political liability for the White House, as the Trump administration confronts the same reality the Biden administration did: Economic success doesn’t really matter to voters if grocery prices are rising.

Catch up quick: Late Friday night, President Trump signed an executive order lifting reciprocal tariffs on coffee, tea, beef, tropical fruits, juices, nuts and spices.

• Of the hundreds of goods and services that make up the Consumer Price Index, nothing is rising faster than coffee and beef, up 15% to 20% year over year.

The big picture: The move is still an acknowledgment of sorts — that Americans bear at least some of the cost of tariffs, that they’ve driven up food prices, and that reversing trade policy may be one of the fastest ways to ease the pain….

If they did?

It’s just make things worse….
