The rise to 9% was because prices across the whole world were rising because of COVID, some more than the US. And the inflation rates were failing, both here and the world, until Trump's Liberation Day. And inflation started to rise here, but not in the rest of the world.

So the inflation under Biden was because the whole world was experiencing issues. The recent rise is solely because of Trump and his policies.

That is what your graph shows.

Do you sleep through the part where Covid caused inflation worldwide-lol!!??

Biden was bringing it down well until Trump's tariffs.

But it will be clear to everyone soon that inflation is rising.

Then what will you say with your nonsense-lol??

A "rise" from < 2% to nearly 9%, which still hasn't made it back to where Biden inherited the lowest inflation in years from Trump.

Trump keeps saying the tariffs will make us rich.

But all they are is a regressive sales tax, so how does a tax make us rich-lol.

Ten dollars you can't answer that one-lol!!
