No. BLS data shows CPI inflation at 3.7% for the year to September 2026, up from roughly 3.0% when Trump took office in January 2025. It fell to about 2.4% earlier in the term but has risen since, driven mainly by energy costs (up over 20%). Core CPI stands at 2.6%.

Chris Murphy has late this week revealed he’s been briefed on the Trump administration’s plans to resume military operations after the November 3 vote in the US.
Notably, he warned that the plan is “insane” as it “will lead to devastating escalation and the likely destruction of our commitment to the rule of law….”
