Trump's Price Relief Promises Result in No Measurable Change

Regular gasoline now exceeds $4 per gallon, more than double the promised price of under $2. Food-at-home prices are up 2.4%, and the median price for hundreds of brand-name drugs has risen 4%. The average credit-card APR remains near 21%, more than double the 10% cap called for on January 10. Taxpayers have received zero dollars from proposed $5,000 DOGE checks and zero dollars from tariff dividend checks. These outcomes follow an 'Emergency Price Relief' Fact Sheet issued two days into office. The current inflation rate is 2.4%.
