Trump says ‘inflation is back’: ‘I had nothing to do with it’

President Donald Trump acknowledged that inflation has returned, stating, “Inflation’s back,” during an interview with Sean Hannity on Fox News. Consumer prices increased significantly last month, with a reported 3% rise year-over-year, as noted by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Trump attributed inflation to former President Joe Biden’s spending policies, claiming they expended $9 trillion on a “Green New Scam.”

Economists remain divided on the causes of inflation, citing factors like federal spending, production costs and global issues, indicating that the relationship is complex and not solely attributed to Biden.
