When you all go out and vote within the next 20 days, just remember that Trump just said “I love the inflation“. This is after inflation came in higher than expected.
Verdict: Missing context.
Trump did say "I love the inflation," but BBC reported he said it at the White House on 10 June 2026, after May CPI came in at 4.2%. It came months before the September inflation report.
