Mockler: He took office and spiked 2.9% inflation, up to 3.8%. Gas prices are up to $4.50 in most states, and he did this all while stripping insurance away from 10 million Americans. I think the most impressive part is the deficit hasn't decreased at all.

Analysis Summary
Inflation did reach 3.8% in April 2026, the highest since 2023, driven primarily by energy costs tied to the Iran conflict — this part is verified by CNBC, NPR, and NYT. The post conflates correlation with causation (inflation rose, but attributing all of it to Trump's specific policies without evidence), omits that gas prices were driven by geopolitical factors beyond his control, and makes unverified claims about insurance coverage and deficit spending that search results don't confirm. The core inflation fact is real; the framing that he 'spiked' it through policy is unsupported.
