The Inflation Rate Falls As Trump Promises a New "Golden Age"

I turned off Trump's speech because it made me anxious. He was rushing through the script so fast he tripped over words and didn't emPHAsize key points to drive the message home.

But he did hit the points. The speech was about 20 minutes. I think he should have taken maybe 28 minutes to give the speech, adding in emphasis and pauses.

A fiery President Donald Trump on Wednesday night promised Americans a shock-and-awe push for affordability, offering a glimpse of his 2026 agenda to overhaul Democrat policies that have left housing and health insurance increasingly out of reach for working Americans.

"Tonight, after 11 months, our border is secure, inflation is stopped, wages are up, prices are down, our nation is strong, America is respected, and our country is back - stronger than ever before. We are poised for an economic boom, the likes of which the world has never seen," he declared in a nationally televised address from the White House.

In tone and delivery, Trump brought optimism to the 20-minute address and vowed to voters that they would soon see lower prices, higher wages and a brighter future. He also made clear he intends to inject himself onto the midterm elections ballot when Americans will choose which party will control Congress in 2026.

Woven throughout the speech were assurances that while many foreign issues have captured the Trump triage, America's kitchen table issues are his main focus.

At many points in the speech, Trump reflected back on a year prior, and the near-anemic economy Americans were suffering with, emphasizing that they can't afford to go back to the era of Democratic policies.

The speech was markedly and definitively "Trump." Senior White House aides confirmed to Just The News that shortly before the speech, the president tinkered with it and added his own fiery flair.

Maybe that's why there was stumbling over some words -- because he had just edited it.

...

Democrats lead Republicans on the 2026 generic ballot 48 to 45, but a change in prices could convince 74% of them that inflation and costs are no longer a problem, according to a new Echelon Insights poll.

Here's the first twenty seconds of the speech.

Trump may or may not have had advanced information that today's report on inflation would be a favorable one. (I assume he did.)

Not even CNN could spin it.

Inflation came in at 2.7%, the lowest in four years -- in other words, the lowest since Biden's policies began driving it sky high -- down 0.3% from the 3.0% mark in September.

"Experts" "expected" the inflation rate to be higher than 3%. They expected rising inflation, not falling inflation.

Bowtie Goebbels Tucker Carlson had announced before the speech that Reliable Congressional Sources had confirmed to him Trump would use the speech to DECLARE WAR ON VENEZUELA, which Bowtie Goebbels is of course opposed to. He has on Maduro spokesmen to assure his largely-foreign audience that Venezuela is a nice country that doesn't send Tren de Aragua terrorists to the US.

I saw a Bowtie Goebbels cultist declare that Carlson was SECRETLY RIGHT, because Trump really had planned to DECLARE WAR ON VENEZUELA but Carlson's brave disclosure of this before the speech forced Trump to change it.

Sure. Trump was ready to announce a war -- one of the most controversial things a President can do -- but Tucker Carlson saying so a few hours before the speech was enough to get him to back off the DECLARATION OF WAR.

Pathetic.
