No, Inflation Did Not “Cool Unexpectedly”, It Slowed Because Trump Policies are Working

The Bureau of Labor and Statistics (BLS) has released the November Consumer Price Index (CPI) [DATA HERE] showing the rate of inflation has dropped to 2.7% overall, with core inflation at 2.6%. This is a significant drop from expectations by financial pundits and pontificating economic media.

While the media proclaim, “inflation cooled unexpectedly,” the reality is that it’s not unexpected. The results of a slowing of price increase are not accidental; they are the result of Trump’s domestic economic policies working.

President Trump has been cutting waste, fraud and abuse in runaway government spending; slashing costly regulations across all sectors of the economy and ending Green New Scam energy policy in favor of drill, baby, drill. As noted by NEC Chairman Kevin Hasset, Trump has reduced deficit spending overall.

There’s still a long way to go, but significant MAGAnomic progress is being made. Oh, and that skyrocketing “tariff inflation” the same shocked pundits proclaimed was sure to happen this time, well, that has not surfaced either. Just like it didn’t surface in 2018 or 2019 when the tariffs were applied the first time.

My New Year's resolution is to be more positive around here next year. More thankful for the good things President Trump is accomplishing and less critical. I am not the man in the arena.

Trump Unveils Deals With 9 Pharma Companies to Reduce Drug Prices

WASHINGTON—President Donald Trump announced agreements with nine of the largest pharmaceutical companies to offer drugs to Americans at lower prices during a Roosevelt Room ceremony on Dec. 19.

“This represents the greatest victory for patient affordability in the history of American health care, by far, and every single American will benefit,” Trump said while flanked by executives representing the manufacturing giants.

“So, this is the biggest thing ever to happen on drug pricing and on health care. This will have a tremendous impact on health care itself.”

The deals with Amgen, Bristol Myers Squibb, Genentech, Merck, and five others will reduce costs for treatments related to autoimmune diseases, cancer, diabetes, and other disorders.

Trump’s drive to obtain most-favored-nation pricing has now brought 14 of the 17 biggest drug manufacturers into the initiative after AstraZeneca, EMD Serono, Novo Nordisk, Lilly, and Pfizer signed deals earlier this year.

Trump noted that 4 percent of the world’s population resides in the United States, yet 75 percent of pharmaceutical company profits come from the region.

“That’s why I signed an executive order instructing my administration to do everything in its power to slash prescription drug prices for Americans while getting other countries to pay more,” he said, adding at the end of the meeting that he will convene insurance companies soon to discuss further cost-savings efforts.

The president said his trade policies and threats of tariffs created the leverage necessary to complete the negotiations.

“If we didn’t have the use of tariffs, we would never be able to do this,” Trump said.

One unnamed drug manufactured in New Jersey and sold in the United States for $1,300 was available for $88 in London, according to Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

“We were paying for all the innovation in this country, and yet the rest of the world was free riding on it,” Kennedy said.

“Nobody has done anything for affordability greater than this,” Kennedy said.
