Trump defies odds, achieves economic triple play with rate cuts, tariffs and cooling inflation

Contrary to conventional economic wisdom and warnings from critics on the left and many economists that cutting interest rates while imposing broad tariffs would inevitably stoke inflation, the Trump administration is achieving all three simultaneously – with the Federal Reserve lowering rates, significant tariffs in place and inflation cooling to 2.7% as of late 2025.

Despite widespread predictions from economists and opponents that combining rate cuts with tariffs would prevent inflation from cooling, recent data shows the Federal Reserve reducing rates amid Trump's tariff regime while inflation has eased.

The Consumer Price Index report for November 2025, released this morning by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, showed headline inflation cooling to an annual rate of 2.7%, down from 3.0% in September and below economists' consensus expectation of 3.1%.

Core inflation, excluding volatile food and energy prices, came in even lower at 2.6% –the slowest pace since early 2021 –providing a positive signal amid Trump's second term. This better-than-expected moderation reflects ongoing efforts to stabilize the economy following higher inflation trends earlier in the year.
