“Members of Congress don’t want to talk about how inflation is surging in the Trump administration. As inflation hit 3.5 percent in March—its highest …”
MISLEADING
While multiple sources confirm that inflation hit 3.5% in March and was a high rate, the claim misleadingly attributes this specific inflation surge to the 'Trump administration.' The evidence attributes the surge to the 'war in Iran' or general economic factors, not specifically to the Trump administration's policies or actions.
