TL;DR

New inflation data shows grocery prices have increased since Trump took office, contradicting his claims that they are 'way down.' Prices rose 0.3% from August to September and are about 2.7% higher than a year ago, with broad increases across most categories. Experts attribute some of the rise to tariffs and trade policies implemented during his administration.
