The Cleveland Fed's real-time "Inflation Nowcasting" model projects that annual core PCE is currently running at 3.7% with headline PCE tracking at 5.4% and headline CPI at an eye-popping 6.1%. The red flags are suddenly a much deeper shade of scarlet.
Citing the relentless rise in gasoline prices, UBS economist Alan Detmeister reckons headline CPI inflation for May will come in at 4.3% - a rise of almost two full percentage points from 2.4% in February, before the Iran war started, and one of the largest three-month changes in headline CPI in decades.
Detmeister estimates that three-month annualized headline CPI inflation will reach 8.51% in May, which would be the fifth-largest reading since 1982 excluding the 2021-2022 pandemic years.

VP_Spiro_T_CheneyHuh… that’s two points higher than the terrible Bidenflation.

Trump needs to audit the Fed. The refusal of Jerome Powell to resign has caused a lot of problems.

Trumb wants Powell to LOWER interest rates, which would boost inflation even higher.

Typical "kill the messenger" bagger moron logic.

When reality does not align with MAGA dogma, Baggers simply deny reality exists.
Inflation is 0%, see how Trump made everything better! Audit the Fed and everything will be magically fixed forever.
