Fake News CNN is reporting that President Trump has lost the trust of the American people when it comes to inflation. He’s 25 points underwater! Because of all that terrible inflation we’re seeing. Or something. We ordinarily wouldn’t pay any attention to Fake News CNN. (Who does?) But many people are posting a clip about this online, and the claims are going viral. They’re wondering, are Trump and the Republicans really in trouble for the 2026 midterms because of inflation? The question they should be asking is: What inflation?

First, you should see the clip that everyone is talking about. Lots of conservative influencers are worriedly reposting this, which was why we noticed it in the first place. Our apologies for the annoying, nasally voice of the Fake News CNN analyst. He sounds like somebody’s ex-wife screeching about alimony payments or something. Here it is:

Trump’s inflation numbers are an abject disaster. No way the GOP keeps the House, if this data holds.

Trump's net approval is -25 pt. He led Harris by 9 pt on inflation in 2024.

Vs. the GOP at-large, Dems lead by 1 pt on inflation. Dems trailed by 13 going into 2022 midterms. pic.twitter.com/8vY1LrQnPo

What inflation?

This tactic by the fake news media just doesn’t work with Americans anymore. All they’re doing is casting voodoo word spells in hopes that people will be duped into believing their BS. This report has no basis in reality.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) released the July inflation numbers this week. If you went shopping for groceries in July, you already know what part of the report says.

Food inflation was 0.0% in July. Food prices didn’t budge at all. The price of eggs is down 77% since Donald Trump took office, and food inflation has completely stopped. Everything is going according to plan.

The stats also show that gas prices fell another 1.1% in July. This will accelerate more as the Drill, Baby, Drill policy gets ramped up. With energy prices falling, that lowers production costs for everything we make in America. If you see something on a store shelf in America, it got there because of gasoline or diesel. When fuel prices drop, it lowers production costs, which puts downward pressure on prices.

Every American should be furious with the way that the Biden Auto-Pen Regime drove up fuel costs, because that was the main driver of inflation for the past four years. The Auto-Pen people strangled oil and gas production in America, which drove the prices of everything through the roof. (Except for rent and property prices. Those were driven up by the mass invasion of illegal aliens.)

The Biden regime deliberately did this to the American people. They hurt every American family financially by driving up energy costs. Yet CNN is claiming that Trump is suddenly “underwater” on inflation, and voters trust Democrats more than Republicans on inflation. What?!

Overall, inflation ticked up 0.2% in July. That was mainly driven by slight increases in the cost of durable goods. Whatever happened to that runaway inflation and the big recession we were supposed to have because of tariffs?

We predicted earlier this year that food prices would come crashing down by about October or November this fall, right before Thanksgiving. That prediction still stands.

Farmers and ranchers are overproducing for the first time in years this harvest season, because fuel inflation and input costs are finally under control, and also because their products can finally be sold in foreign markets due to the new trade deals. We’ll see some deflation in food costs this fall.

One area that’s trickier, however, is beef prices. California Governor Gavin Newsom (D), who wants to be your next president, is doing everything he can to put the last remaining cattle ranches in California out of business. Newsom refuses to build any new water infrastructure, while claiming there’s a drought because of “global warming.”

Because of Newsom’s man-made drought, he’s tearing out another dam in the Potter Valley in northern California. This will no doubt cause another ecological disaster and drive several fish species into extinction, which is what Newsom did when he tore out the dams along the Klamath River last year. It also eliminates another of California’s cleanest energy sources (hydroelectric power).

But most importantly to Newsom, this will cut off the water supply to Potter Valley cattle ranches. They won’t be able to grow enough hay, so the ranchers are all selling off their herds and going out of business. Newsom is taking tens of thousands of cattle off the market all across California, which will obviously impact beef prices.

Other than that, inflation is near zero, and everything is going according to plan. So, how could Trump possibly be 25 points underwater because of inflation? There isn’t any inflation!
