Promises kept.
U.S. inflation rose in line with expectations in May, while core inflation came in lower than forecast. President Trump’s tariffs have not yet had a major impact on consumer prices.
The Consumer Price Index increased 2.4% year-over-year, matching economists’ estimates, according to the Wall Street Journal.
That figure was slightly higher than April’s 2.3% reading, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported Wednesday.
Even fake news CNN was forced to admit the inflation numbers were “better than expected.”
“Another month of positive inflation news,” one CNN contributor said Wednesday morning. “Despite these historic tariffs, the latest numbers show that inflation remained relatively tame in May.”
Egg prices and energy prices are also down.

🚨 JUST IN — CNN: "We got ANOTHER month of positive inflation news… this was better than expected. Economists like to look at core inflation… that ALSO came in better than expected."

Texas Rep. Wesley Hunt called out the dead Democrat talking point on X.
“If you’ve noticed: Democrats aren’t talking about egg prices anymore. They aren’t talking about inflation anymore. They aren’t talking about tariffs anymore. They aren’t talking about the stock market anymore. They aren’t talking about the border anymore. So now they’re planning demonstrations to fight “authoritarianism.” Why? Because TRUMP solved every single one of these issues in 5 months. They’ve run out of ammunition.”
