00:00Trump voters growing impatient. In January 2025, President Donald Trump pledged to end

00:07inflation on day one and bring prices way down. A year later, everyday costs still show a stubborn

00:13gap. Inflation is up 3.0% year over year, roughly unchanged from late Biden. Food rose 3.1%,

00:22staples 2.7% versus roughly 1.8% through most of 2024. Shelter approximately 5% to 6%.

00:30Gas hasn't meaningfully fallen. Elevated food and housing costs squeeze holiday meals and year-end

00:36budgets. Essentials haven't fallen sharply, and uneven energy, medical, and transport costs add

00:42burden. Supporters expected prices to drop quickly. With inflation near 3%, frustration has grown.

00:48Some voters say they are waiting for the relief we were promised. Economists say no president can

00:54end inflation instantly. Tariffs and other slow-moving forces, Federal Reserve officials,

01:00including Fed Chair Jerome Powell noted, helped keep it above 2%, while Trump now says prices are

01:06too high and asserts they're beginning to fall.
