Caused. trump policies CAUSED inflation. You know it's true, why lie in the headline?

Worse, thought they used "midterms" twice in one sentence. My head hurts.

This is a horrible spin that presents “alternative facts” rather the entirely different reality we’re all living through.

Trump's Tariffs caused prices to go up. Why can't any of you media platforms just come out & say it?

What? Can't believe you don't support the purveyors of the Big Beautiful Bill that's taken so much of your money and given it to those that already have a lot of money? You just need to hold on. It'll eventually trickle down. At the moment you'll just have to run faster to stay in the same place.

He didn’t fail to stop it, he caused it. Between the tariffs and bad trade deals and the illegal war in Iran he caused the inflation.

he caused the inflation we're dealing with cut the bullshit

Whoooosh

AP also says AI tools may suggest headlines www.ap.org/the-definiti...

These folks seem to make a lot of money for stenography that doubles as lies.

He CAUSED the inflation with tariffs and war.

You mean the unforced error presidency that was the REASON for this terrible economic downturn? The tariffs? The war? HOW ABOUT AN ACCURATE ACCOUNT AP? You know, the news?

The AP so badly wants to be straight fascist propaganda.

You feckless bastards. Call it out: Trump is creating this economic pain

Sane-washing him is not helpful. He talked about reducing inflation during his campaign, and occasionally mentions it in his helicopter shouting sessions, but he has taken zero actions toward reducing inflation, and in fact has quite directly done the opposite. He did not "fail" he never even tried.

For 6 straight months …

Not only did they fail to bring down costs, they are increasing inflation driving up prices faster and faster and it is 100% self inflicted. Who votes for these losers who either supported or let this happen in deference to Trump knowing it would hurt their constituents??

U sukk. Trump, more than any other president, is singularly responsible for inflation. War of choice, tariffs, unpredictable governing, corruption, it's all right there in front of you, but no, conservative, pro-Trump bias means the AP just can't fathom what caused it. Please retire.

People are sick of everything about this administration, not just the high prices, but the obscene amount of corruption. Republicans have failed to reign any of this in and now they will pay the price.

Donald Trump, the white supremacist?

What proofs do you have that trump tried to curb inflation? I've yet to see a single item on the right-wing agenda that would either reduce inflation or improve the lives of non rich people. Also, just fyi from the Biden years :

Trump CAUSED inflation!!!! His insane tariffs, his colossal theft, his war with Iran, his traitorous actions towards Ukraine. He caused every single problem the U.S. and the world are suffering.

Stop it? He CAUSED it.

He CAUSED the price hikes by being a greedy, racist, idiot who serves Putin and Israel. Some honest headlines should acknowledge this.

How about "Trump Caused, Rather Than Cure Inflation"?

He literally made the costs go up for everyone on everything this is pro-regime propaganda

You know, AP, this is why I stopped subscribing. You and NYT. Don't give me this crap that you are just reporting facts. THESE ARE NOT FACTS. Stop lying in the media and supporting these fascists.

Trump has never kept a *promise* in his entire life, & he will not start now. Want “normalcy” to return, get everyone you know registered to VOTE, VOTE🌊🌊🌊🌊[blue] EARLY up /down ballot, give Democrats control of Congress.

If only there was some kind of reporting agency that could have warned people about the facts of his proposals, previous record, and backers and policies?

Has he also "redefined the presidency"? "Reimagined the DoJ"? He did not fucking "fail to stop inflation" He turbocharged inflation, wrecked the economy turned the stock, options, futures, forex, bond markets into lunatic whipsaws. Why can AP not state facts? Why the softball?🤡

And tariffs, too!

The man who started the avalanche is unable to stop it.

Remember, inflation was going DOWN when trump came into office. 6.3 in Jan. 2023 all the way down to 3.1 in Nov. 2024. Then the tariffs.

“Failed to stop” OMFG that is too funny.

He didn't fail to stop it. He's caused it! It was on it's way down when he was sworn in.

The AP is the Reuters of New York Posts..

Nice way to act as if it weren't his fault and the Republicans' entirely.

I "failed to stop the hamburger from being eaten" when I ate it.

Isn't it all the same? Voters frustraition with high prices is just another angle on inflation?

Donald Trump says it would be the voters' fault if Republicans lose the 2026 midterm election.

INFLATION WAS 2.7 when Biden left office. It’s now 3.4 officially but in reality is far closer to 5 pct with gas, food, and soaring interest rates. The Biden economy was booming. Trump has created a financial train wreck with the war with Iran and tariffs. BE PRECISE. Trump has failed MASSIVELY.

Fuck right off with that headline

And tariffs, don't forget the tariffs, even when they were rolled back, corporations pocketed the refunds and we didn't see any reduction in prices. Consumers have been truly screwed over (a bit crude but can't think of a better description) over and over.

The democrats will not save us from corporate greed

They should wear that shit as a badge of honor. Instead they all bent the fucking knee.

"failed to lower" This is what a complicit media looks like

Epic fail here AP.

Repubs only care about this when it's an election. Otherwise, we could be selling blood to eat.

Trump *CAUSED* Inflation!

Words matter, @apnews.com.

Trump broke those promises and instead took actions that are obviously inflationary. But no traditional media will state the obvious and instead write embarrassing empty drivel like this.

Failed to stop inflation? Laughable, Republicans and Trump are making it worse. Tariffs, the Iran war he started, wages falling behind, removing inspection safeguards on food, ignoring systemic health care costs, ignoring post-Covid predatory price increases. But, billionaires are getting richer.

This can't just be about greed. It also needs to be about decency.

The AP has been gobbling Trump’s scat since he rode down the escalator with a quiver full of racial slurs.

Democrats are trying to stem the bleeding caused by millions of Republicans stabbing away at all of us You know it I know it VOTE 💙 BLUE

Republicans have to grow up and learn to accept reality. You have to work and earn it. Don’t expect voters to just hand it to you. When you get a job, do the damn job.

It’s such a garbage headline again. Trump went out of his way TO CAUSE INFLATION. Name one thing Dump has done that any economist on earth says would lower inflation.

Who wrote this, gemini flash?

AP buries the lede once more, protecting Trump.

When voters evaluate this administration through a panoramic lens, inflation is simply the result triggered by bad policies and reckless decisions - like tariffs, the war with Iran and the loss of confidence in Trumps leadership capacity. I’m more concerned about the causes than inflation.

Inflation was down to 2.6% prior to the Nov 2024 election. It is currently at 3.7% & that’s with Trump’s Fed pick changing inflation measuring metrics. Without that we’d be at 4% right now. Trump tariffs and war are what got us here, not Biden.

"Failed to stop inflation"?! HE F*****G CAUSED IT!!!

rewriting the last portion: "polling suggests Democrats are successfully tapping into voter frustration ahead of Midterms" setting aside the typo, you should delete this post as it meets absolute no moment from the past 10+ years

The article does mention that Trump’s policies caused prices to go up, but the headline is misleading. Failed to stop vs. causing inflation are very different!

hate when i cant get my third pumpkin

Fecking useless journalism. #embarassing

Never thought the AP would be so compromised

Failed to stop? It was. He started it with tariffs and a war

Trump directly caused the inflation with tariffs and unnecessary wars

Two pumpkins?!? In THIS economy?!?!!!

👆👍🏼

I used to recommend you to low info voters as an alt to faux news, but it’s becoming increasingly apparent by your editorial choices that headlines(at a minimum) are designed to minimize the harm this admin has heaped on us. Let me fix it for you…he CAUSED inflation rather than failed to address it🙄

How about the truth? Trump CAUSED inflation is in its 8th month due to the forever war he started. Democrats are merely pointing at facts.

dipshit donald's promise to bring down costs is worth just as much as any other promise he's ever made. Especially since he CAUSED the high prices in the first place.

SHOULD BE AN EASY JOB! Ha ha ha! 😂😅🤣 💲💲💲
