The mainstream media is struggling. They are running out of propaganda talking points.
Because CNN has been gobsmacked by President Trump’s latest huge win.
Stable Prices and Economic Revival Silence the Skeptics
In a stunning admission from the leftist media, CNN business reporter Vanessa Yurkevich seemed to express amazement on Tuesday about tame energy and food prices in July under President Donald Trump’s administration. Despite endless warnings from so-called experts about how Trump’s tariffs would wreck the economy, the numbers tell a different story—one of real progress for hardworking Americans.
The latest data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics shows the consumer price index rose just 0.2% in July on a seasonally adjusted basis, keeping annual inflation steady at 2.7%—matching June’s figure. On CNN News Central, Yurkevich highlighted the impressive stability in key areas that hit families hardest. “A tamer inflation report, despite President Trump’s tariffs. This is better than expected. Month over month, as you mentioned, up 0.2%.On an annual basis, up 2.7% in July,” Yurkevich said.
“That’s also what we saw on an annual basis for the month of June. When you look at the key categories that we always look at — energy, food and shelter — energy fell by 1.1%. That was largely driven because of gas prices falling in the month of July by 2.2%.”
She continued, zeroing in on everyday essentials: “Look at that food! I mean, this is where people spend their money, right? Food, every single day. Food flat, 0%, and actually down at the grocery store by 0.1%.” Yurkevich also noted the ongoing pressure from shelter costs, adding, “And then shelter. We always usually see an increase because that is what people are paying on rent. And we know that rents are rising. That is usually the biggest share of this report.”
This cool-down in prices flies in the face of doomsday predictions from economists who claimed Trump’s bold tariffs would trigger runaway inflation. Instead, the president’s America First approach—slashing burdensome regulations and imposing smart tariffs to protect U.S. jobs—has fueled a steady recovery without the chaos the elites forecasted.
President Trump’s deregulation drive is delivering massive wins for the economy, cutting red tape that stifled growth under previous administrations. By rolling back trillions in unnecessary rules, these efforts are projected to boost annual GDP growth by 0.29 to 0.78 percentage points over the next two decades, while slashing inflation by 0.60% per year.
Families are seeing real savings too,up to $10,600 per household from rescinded mandates on everything from vehicle emissions to appliance standards. This isn’t just theoretical either, it’s putting more money back in Americans’ pockets and fostering job creation by removing barriers that protected big corporations and blocked new businesses.
On the tariff front, Trump’s strategy is reshaping trade to favor American workers, bringing manufacturing back home and generating billions in revenue to fund infrastructure and tax cuts. A 10% global tariff alone could create 2.8 million jobs and expand the economy by $728 billion, lifting real household incomes by 5.7%. Far from causing price spikes, these measures have shown no link to inflation, with studies confirming they encourage domestic production in key sectors like steel and autos without meaningful cost hikes for consumers. Tariff revenues have already surged to $29.6 billion in July alone, helping close trade gaps and level the playing field against unfair foreign practices.
The proof is in the pudding: The stock market has hit record highs under Trump, with the S&P 500 up 5.6% since he took office, driven by pro-growth policies like the 2017 tax cuts that slashed corporate rates and supercharged investment. Manufacturing output climbed 0.1% in June after a 0.3% rise in May, and the sector added 9,000 jobs in the administration’s early months—reversing years of losses from bad trade deals. GDP growth clocked in at 3.0% in the second quarter, building on a solid 2.8% in 2024, while unemployment hovers at a low 4.2%.
Sure, job additions dipped to 73,000 in July, but that’s a blip in an otherwise roaring recovery—likely tied to seasonal factors and the lingering effects of past overregulation. With unemployment still near historic lows and manufacturing rebounding, Trump’s common-sense fixes are clearly working.
President Trump is proving that putting America first isn’t just talk—it’s delivering results. From taming inflation to revitalizing industries, his policies are repairing the damage from weak leadership and building a stronger, more prosperous nation for all. The skeptics can keep doubting; the facts speak for themselves.
