Are U.S. Prices Really Falling as Trump Claimed?

President Donald Trump claimed on social media that 'oil is flowing,' 'the stock market is booming, jobs are at record levels, and prices are coming down.' But real data shows a more mixed economic picture. While gas prices have eased from their peak, they remain well above pre-war levels, and inflation is running at 4.2% — the fastest in three years. Job growth has slowed sharply compared to the previous administration, and layoffs are rising.
