Inflation came in at 2.4%
Despite the ‘hot’ whisper numbers (and 4 previous Januarys in a row of upside surprises), headline consumer price inflation came in cooler than expected in January (+0.2% MoM vs +0.3% expected). That pulled the headline CPI down dramatically from +2.7% to +2.4% – near the lowest in 4 years…
This got praise from former Democrat Governor Rod Blagojevich.
Blagojevich was pardoned by Trump.
Inflation slowed to 2.4% in January, fueled by low gasoline prices. Trump is making America Affordable Again!

The inflation number is going to shift how the midterm elections go. The headlines are going to get better and better from here on out.
This is another reason the Democrats shut down the government before the 2025 elections. They know the economy is about to explode and they are going to do all they can to slow it down.
