President Donald Trump has claimed that grocery and gas prices are falling, crediting his tariff policies. However, economists argue that this claim is misleading. Since Trump took office, food prices have risen, and gas prices have remained relatively stable. While overall inflation has slightly decreased during his tenure, it still indicates an increase in price levels. Grocery prices, specifically for items like eggs, have increased significantly. Gasoline prices nationally average around $3.18, far from the $1.98 Trump mentioned. The slight decrease in oil prices is not necessarily positive, as it often signals an expected economic slowdown.
