Well, howdy there, Internet people, it's bell again.

So today, we're going to talk about how Trump's tariff inflation is here.

0:11.0

Well, surprise everybody.

0:14.0

The inflation created by Trump's tariffs that was predicted by economists all over the world is starting to show.

0:21.7

Consumer prices rose 2.7% in June over last year and rose 0.3% just last month.

0:30.1

That's right.

While Trump was declaring that inflation is dead, it was actually rising.
