Inflation Surges, Adding Pressure on Trump’s Economic Agenda | Can Trump Lower Prices or Will It Get Worse?

Inflation is rising again, putting pressure on President Donald Trump just weeks into his new term.

Meanwhile, housing, insurance, and airfare costs continue to soar, while consumer spending declines at major retailers like McDonald's. 💰 Trump promised to lower prices "immediately", but with interest rates still high and new tariffs on steel, aluminum, and Chinese goods, could his policies worsen inflation instead of fixing it? 📉 Stock markets tumbled after the latest inflation data, and the Federal Reserve is holding steady on high interest rates.
