US Inflation Trends: Consumer Prices Rise Amid Stable Wholesale Inflation

Left-leaning sources frame the economic data by consistently linking inflation concerns and consumer price increases directly to Donald Trump's trade policies and tariffs. They use evaluative language to describe his actions, such as his "aggressive" pressure on the Fed, which is presented as a threat to the central bank's independence, shaping a narrative of political interference in economic stability.

Right-leaning sources frame this story by emphasizing the White House's positive economic narrative and President Trump's criticisms of the Federal Reserve. They use dismissive language for critics and prioritize administration statements, while downplaying less favorable economic data by focusing on preferred metrics or quickly pivoting to the White House's celebratory interpretations.
