and prices will go up.
A one-time increase is not inflation or at least does not meet the definition of inflation.
Inflation is defined as a sustained, broad-based increase in the general price level of goods and services over time.
Unless tariffs continue to rise and cause prices to increase, they are not inflationary due to a one-time price hike.
If Trump continues to increase tariff percentages, then you can argue that they are inflationary.

It was trending downward into the 2s earlier this year. Something changed to bring it back up again. I wonder what that was?

I was warning about price increases not long after the tariffs were announced and copied a few emails from suppliers showing that was starting in June for our industry.
The only people moving the goalposts are the ones that were denying the inflation was happening to now saying “it’s less than they expected it to be.” If that’s a win have at it and celebrate but it doesn’t bode well for where we’re heading. Hiring has slowed and now we need to stimulate the economy with lower interest rates too. I like Trump but he’s got a lot to take on to help swing the economy around to what it was in his first term. I hope he succeeds and I hope the country comes out of this much stronger but I’m not a fan of how he rolled out the tariffs.

Inflation is a net...0% since Trump took over. I don't think anyone is saying there's no inflation at all. Considering we're in all-out trade wars with nearly every country we do business with, net zero inflation is pretty dang good.
