In 2024, Trump campaigned on "ending inflation on Day One."
Two years later, the affordability crisis is even worse than when he returned to office — thanks to his policies.

Gasolina pressiona inflação americana e complica a vida dos bancos centrais
A inflação ao consumidor nos Estados Unidos, divulgada nesta quarta-feira, trouxe um dado muito ruim. O CPI subiu 0,6% em setembro, depois de já ter acelerado para 0,4% em agosto, número que já era bastante salgado. Em 12 meses, a inflação americana roda agora em 3,7%. O choque, claramente, vem da energia. A gasolina subiu 9,1% no mês e respondeu por mais da metade da alta do índice. O grupo de energia avançou 5,2% em setembro e acumula alta de 20% em 12 meses; a gasolina está 34% mais cara do que há um ano.
