FUN FACT:

Under Joe Biden, the United States had the lowest inflation rate post-COVID-19 pandemic of any G7 country.

Based on today’s projections, Donald Trump will have the highest.



___At the time, U.S. inflation stood at 2.4% year-over-year, compared to 2.7% overall in 2025 (2). When President Joe Biden left office, inflation stood at 3%, down from a post-pandemic high of 9.1% in June 2022, when prices were skyrocketing globally.

Still, while inflation eased somewhat under Trump, it remained higher than the Federal Reserve’s long-term annual target of 2% (5).

Now the U.S. and Israel’s war in Iran is expected to make inflation worse, according to a new report from the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD).

Here are the projected 2026 inflation rates for G7 countries:

U.S. 4.2% (up from 2.6% in 2025, according to its calculation)
U.K. 4% (up from 3.4%)
Germany 2.9% (up from 2.3%)
Canada 2.4% (up from 2.1%)
Italy 2.4% (up from 1.6%)
Japan 2.4% (the outlier, down from 3.2%)
France 1.8% (up from 0.9%) (6)

1. Somehow it will be Biden's fault or he'll call his own administration's numbers fake.

2. Our media never framed the inflation debate

Fairly, and won't start now. Our media is shit.
