In Trump’s second full month in office, we’ve got an inflation update that makes all of Joe’s experts look like the clowns they are.

Inflation is back down to under 3%, after peaking under Biden at about 9%. That’s right… no more choosing between a tank of gas or Spaghettios.

The annual inflation rate in the US eased for a second consecutive month to 2.4% in March 2025, the lowest since September, down from 2.8% in February, and below forecasts of 2.6%. — TradingEconomics

Let’s recap the inflation story, shall we? At first it wasn’t happening. Then it wasn’t significant. Then it was a transitory COVID hangover. Maybe it’s Putin’s fault. No, it’s corporate greed. What do you mean? It’s over, and Joe’s a hero for beating it. He even bragged in his last SOTU speech.

The ‘Goldilocks’ number for inflation is supposed to be about 2%, with variability of one point higher or lower to be considered reasonable for a healthy economy.

Inflation turned out to be the surprise villain of Joe Biden’s four-year presidency. It arrived with little warning in 2021, hit a 40-year high in 2022, and undoubtedly contributed to Vice President Kamala Harris’s loss in the 2024 presidential election.

Overall inflation was 21.2% during the four years Biden was in office, with the latest data from December 2024. Earnings rose by 19.4% during that time. So the typical family did, in fact, fall behind during Biden’s presidency. Prices rose by more than earnings, which means a typical paycheck bought less at the end than it did at the beginning.

Voters trusted Donald Trump more on inflation, and the data backs them up. During Trump’s first presidential term, earnings rose by less than under Biden, but inflation was far lower, so the typical family got ahead. Inflation rose 7.9% during Trump’s four years, while earnings grew by 15.4%.[…] — YahooFiance

The same Trading Economics site referenced above has some handy chart tools. They are a great way to put this news in perspective.

The first image is official inflation numbers for the last 12 months, blue box for Biden, red box for Trump.

If you notice on the image, there are several time scales you can choose from for this graph. If we want to judge Bidinflation against the economies of other administrations, having those other numbers in a readily understood visual format would help a lot.

In Jan of 2021, we were sitting at 1.4% on the interactive map, and in January of 2025, we were sitting at 3% even.

Trade Economics graphs for the 10-year time frame tell the story.

What stands out?

Oh right. How much taller those lines are than the ones before and after Biden’s term. That’s NOT a good thing. It means Joe’s economy was trash, then Trump took over and made it sing.

It became clear that Trump was here to rein in spending and waste… not just talk about it.

Trump changed some policies — especially energy. He started slashing regulations. He is making energy as cheap and plentiful as possible, and most importantly?

He’s turned Elon and friends loose, finding all of the grift, graft, and old-fashioned waste that is bleeding the American taxpayer dry. They’re axing waste, like the $41,000 payout to someone who won’t be born for another hundred years or more.

You put that together, it’s a recipe for driving inflation down again. And never once did Joe Biden give serious thought to any of those policies.

It’s far easier to blame corporate greed for something-something magicking the economy into bad news.
