Inflation Under Trump vs. Biden
Comparing average annual inflation rates between Trump’s first term and Biden’s presidency highlights how broader economic conditions and policy choices shaped each period.
Trump’s term from 2017 to 2020 saw inflation average about 1.9%, with price growth relatively stable amid low interest rates and modest economic expansion. Biden’s four years, by contrast, produced an average annual inflation rate near 5%, reflecting a sharp post-pandemic surge followed by gradual cooling as the Federal Reserve raised interest rates.
