Democrats Created High Prices — Trump Is Finally Bringing Them Down

If you’ve felt the squeeze at the grocery store or pump, President Donald J. Trump wants you to know — he sees it too, and he’s taking the blame off hardworking Americans and putting it where it belongs: squarely on the failed economic policies of the last administration.

In a new year-end article from the White House, the Trump team lays out the case plainly: inflation and high costs didn’t come from mysterious market forces — they came from Democrat spending, regulation, and economic incompetence. And for the first time in years, prices are falling.

Under President Joseph R. Biden, prices soared across the board — from used cars and hotel rooms to airfare and gasoline:

Used car prices shot up over 20%
Gas prices spiked roughly 30%
Hotel rates and airfares climbed by more than a third

That kind of inflation wasn’t random. It was the predictable outcome of massive government spending, endless regulations, and a federal government that lost touch with everyday Americans.

Contrast that with the numbers since Trump returned to the White House:

Inflation has been cut in half, and Americans have even seen their first overall price decline since 2020.
Prices for everyday essentials — eggs, fruit, pasta, shampoo, even Thanksgiving turkey — are lower this year than last.
Propane, firewood, heating oil and other home energy costs are down — good news heading into winter.

Everyday prices matter more than Washington talking points — and this administration isn’t just measuring inflation, it’s bringing it down where it counts.

Trump’s policies aren’t just slowing price growth — they’re putting more money back in your pocket:

Real wages, which sank under Democrats, are rising faster than inflation in Trump’s second term.
Mortgage rates are lower than when Trump took office — a reprieve for homebuyers and families across the country.
Rents have been falling month after month, easing pressure on renters and landlords alike.

This isn’t abstract economic theory — it’s the kind of relief families in Nevada and across the country feel at the checkout line and behind the wheel.

And this administration isn’t stopping there. The White House highlights additional steps that will keep prices moving in the right direction:

Historic tax cuts including no tax on tips, overtime, and Social Security income.
Deregulation savings projected to save the average family over $2,000 annually.
Revived consumer confidence and small-business optimism as Americans spend and invest again.

Make no mistake: this isn’t luck. It’s a direct contrast with nearly four years of runaway costs under Democrat leadership. Where Biden’s policies fueled inflation, Trump’s put it in reverse — proving that economic growth and lower prices go hand-in-hand when government gets out of the way.

For everyday Americans tired of high prices and shrinking dollars, this shift isn’t theoretical — it’s real relief. And as the year ends, President Trump is making the case that this turnaround is just the beginning.
