President Donald Trump said his administration has been doing a good job on that front. “I inherited very, very high costs, and they’re all coming down now,” Trump said Aug. 4 on Fox News. “The food, the groceries, it’s all coming down.” With a few exceptions, prices have been going up since Trump began his second term in January 2025, official federal data shows.
