The mainstream media can send you into a doom spiral. They think anything Trump does will end this country.
But now a bombshell report proved Donald Trump was right all along.
Trump’s Economic Strategy Keeps Inflation in Check
President Donald Trump’s leadership continues to defy the so-called experts, as the July 2025 Consumer Price Index (CPI) rose a modest 0.2% month-over-month, holding steady at a 2.7% year-over-year inflation rate, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS).
Contrary to economists’ predictions of a spike due to Trump’s tariffs, this stable report, highlighted by CNBC, marks the second consecutive month of 2.7% annual inflation, showcasing the resilience of Trump’s economic policies in maintaining price stability.
The CPI, a key inflation gauge, once again outperformed forecasts, underscoring Trump’s ability to navigate global trade challenges without triggering runaway inflation. In a Truth Social post Tuesday morning, Trump pressed Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell to act: “Jerome ‘Too Late’ Powell must NOW lower the rate.”
He added, “The damage he has done by always being Too Late is incalculable. Fortunately, the economy is sooo good that we’ve blown through Powell and the complacent Board.” Trump’s call for rate cuts reflects his proactive stance to keep the economy booming, leveraging a strong foundation to push for growth-friendly policies.
Tariffs Prove Critics Wrong as Prices Remain Stable
The CPI report reveals that Trump’s tariffs, now affecting over 90 countries with rates up to 50% on nations like India and Brazil, have had minimal impact on consumer prices.
As Leavitt noted, “The tariffs are in the numbers, but they’re certainly not jumping out hair on fire at this point,” a sentiment echoed by former Biden economist Jared Bernstein on CNBC.
Household furnishings rose slightly by 0.7%, but imported goods like clothing and canned fruits and vegetables stayed flat, proving Trump’s strategic trade deals—like the 90-day tariff delay for China—are shielding Americans from price hikes.
Shelter costs drove much of the CPI’s modest rise, per the BLS, while energy prices fell 1.1% and food prices held steady, with grocery costs dipping 0.1%. CNN noted with surprise:
“Look at that food. This is where people spend their money, right? … Food [is] flat, 0%, and actually down at the grocery store by 0.1%.”
Core CPI, excluding volatile food and energy, rose 0.3% monthly and 3.1% annually, slightly above expectations but still manageable, reflecting Trump’s balanced approach to economic pressures.
Markets Rally as Trump’s Policies Fuel Confidence
The financial markets responded enthusiastically to the tame inflation data, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) climbing 0.6% to 21.735 USD and the S&P 500 (SPY) also up 0.6% to 642.291 USD, as seen in the finance card above.
The Nasdaq Composite gained 0.8%, signaling investor confidence in Trump’s economic stewardship.
Trump’s extension of tariff deadlines and deals with countries like Japan and South Korea demonstrate his deal-making savvy, ensuring economic stability while pressuring global competitors.
As the Federal Reserve faces calls for a September rate cut, Trump’s policies continue to drive a robust economy, proving detractors wrong and delivering results for Americans.
