Brace yourselves, folks—another one of the Democrats’ favorite economic talking points just went up in smoke, and not the fancy kind they light up on the West Coast. For months, the Left has been gaslighting Americans into believing that inflation is a mysterious, unstoppable beast still ravaging the economy. They’ve painted a picture of doom and gloom to distract from their own policy failures, while at the same time dismissing every glimmer of economic sanity as “Trump-era nostalgia.” But now that reality is catching up with their spin, things are getting deliciously awkward.
Let’s start with the facts they can’t seem to spin: inflation is dropping. Not just dropping—it’s dropping faster than their approval ratings in rural America. According to the latest numbers, the consumer price index actually fell 0.1% in March. That’s right. Not just a slowdown in the rise of prices, but an actual dip. For those keeping score, that brings the annual inflation rate down to 2.4%, a notable drop from February’s 2.8%. Core inflation, which excludes food and energy, just to keep the number-crunchers honest, also clocked in at a 2.8% annual rate, the lowest since March 2021. You remember that time, right? The moment when the Biden administration stumbled into office and immediately launched a masterclass in economic mismanagement.
And now, suddenly, we’re seeing things turn around. Gas prices down 6.3%. Energy prices down 2.4%. Real average hourly earnings up 1.4%. Prescription drug prices—down. Egg prices—finally not requiring a second mortgage. Even CNN, the unofficial cheerleading squad for Democratic narratives, had to admit the truth: these are good numbers. Better than expected. A six-month low. Moving in the right direction.

Now, let’s be honest—none of this turnaround happened by accident. These aren’t the results of Biden’s economic “strategy,” which seemed to involve throwing money into the wind and hoping inflation would politely sit this one out. No, what we’re seeing now is the result of a slow but steady return to economic sanity. It’s what happens when American energy production is prioritized again. When business confidence starts to creep back in. When there’s a serious conversation about reducing regulatory overreach. In other words, it’s the result of a course correction back to Trump-era policies that actually worked.
The White House, of course, couldn’t resist a little trolling, cheekily quoting, “Never bet against Donald J. Trump.” And who could blame them? The numbers speak for themselves, and they don’t lie—not like some people we could name. In fact, you know things are shifting when CNN is forced to pivot from “unexpectedly worse” to “better than expected.” Funny how that phrase magically returns when the numbers go the Right’s way.

Meanwhile, the Democratic leadership is still stuck in a fantasy world. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries somehow missed the memo and publicly claimed inflation was rising. You’d think someone in his office would’ve slipped him a copy of the latest economic report before he walked into that trap. But no, he went full “prices are skyrocketing” mode, only to get publicly corrected with cold, hard numbers. Maybe Democrats are too busy trying to redefine gender and rewrite history to read a chart anymore.
The Left doesn’t want to admit this, but Americans notice when their grocery bills go down. They notice when the gas pump doesn’t give them a panic attack. They notice when reality contradicts every doomsday narrative MSNBC spoon-fed them for the last three years. The facts are catching up, and no amount of spin can reverse what’s plain as day: the economy is starting to improve despite Biden’s policies, not because of them.
So here’s a little advice for Democrats still trying to shout over the data: maybe sit this one out. Take a break from screaming “Trump is dangerous!” and “inflation is permanent!” and just accept the simple truth—your narratives are collapsing under the weight of actual results. And in this economy, that might just be the most valuable thing of all.
