If Trump or his people have their hands on economic data, then it's worthless.

"Trust these numbers? Economists see a lot of flaws in delayed CPI report showing downward inflation
"The downside surprise reflects weakness in both goods and services, but may be partly due to methodological issues. The BLS might have carried forward prices in some categories, effectively assuming 0% inflation," Michael Gapen, chief U.S. economist at Morgan Stanley, said in a note, deeming the November reading as "noisy" in a way that's "difficult to draw strong conclusions."
"If these technical factors are the main source of weakness, we could see reacceleration in December," Gapen added."

"CPI at 2.7%"
Sorry, that doesn't pass the smell test.
Neither does withholding regular monthly reports.
In fact, refusing to release the regular reports exposes the false narrative.

So then why hasn't Trump filled the reserves? ???

It should be noted that most of the oil released from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve during Joe Biden's administration had previously been authorized for sale by Congress. With significant bipartisan support, except for the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, which only had republican support. The Biden administration canceled future oil sales that Congress had approved and moved all sales to an earlier date. This means the net change in the SPR is 20 million barrels of oil more than would have been left after the completion of the congressionally mandated sales. This means there will be more oil in the SPR now than if they had done nothing. www.forbes.com

"at this time, any good news is a lie, to you. Any bad news has to (be) true, to you."
Except...back in reality., that claim is either true or not. And if it's not, it's imperative to ask WHO is lying to you, and WHY.
Do YOU believe the claim inflation is at 2.7%?

"Selling off the reserves was BAD for national security."
