Video transcript 0:57

It was just announced that inflation came in substantially hotter than expected last month, double what was predicted with much of the gain coming from food prices going up, rent and housing costs going up and car prices going up. Interest rates, as you know, are also a big factor. They're very high. They've gone from 2% when I was in office to 10% now and you can't get the money. That means it's much higher than 10%, which really kills the American dream for young people. We have a lot of young people here, a lot of college people here. The fact is that the Federal Reserve brought the interest rates down a little too quickly. It was too big a cut and everyone knows that was a political maneuver that they tried to do before the election, but they did the wrong thing. It was totally a political decision and inflation has started to rise.

Authorship Analysis
Aide-Written
Indicators:
  • Business hours posting — 13:52 EDT, well within aide-managed window
  • Attached MP4 video suggests produced/packaged content coordinated with media team
  • Clean grammar and complete sentence structure consistent with aide drafting
  • Trailing ellipsis ('…') and telegraphic brevity have authentic Trump flavor — could be caption written by Scavino to tease a clip from the concurrent Detroit Economic Club speech
  • Context: Trump was scheduled to speak at Detroit Economic Club at 1:00 PM EDT; this post at 1:52 PM likely accompanies clipped footage from that appearance

"inflation came in substantially hotter than expected last month"
Half True

September 2024 CPI released October 10, 2024: headline 2.4% YoY (consensus 2.3%), core 3.3% (consensus 3.2%), core MoM 0.3% (consensus 0.2%). Data was above expectations on all measures — the directional claim is accurate. 'Substantially' is a significant exaggeration of a ~0.1 percentage point miss that economists characterized as showing inflation 'stickiness' but not a dramatic surprise.
