Overview

Why do so many Americans feel squeezed when they shop for groceries, pay rent, or open their utility bill-while political leaders insist that prices are falling? Trump's Inflation Paradox cuts through the noise to reveal the truth behind today's cost-of-living crisis. Elena A. Whitaker breaks down the competing stories shaping our understanding of inflation: the optimistic narrative repeated on national stages, and the hard data showing what households actually experience day to day. With clear explanations and accessible analysis, this book exposes why essential costs continue to rise, why the message doesn't match the reality, and how that disconnect affects families, markets, and policymaking. Across chapters that cover groceries, energy, housing, prescription drugs, wages, and regional differences, Whitaker reveals the hidden forces driving prices-and why millions of Americans still feel financially pressured even when headline inflation numbers appear calm. Whether you're a voter, consumer, policymaker, or simply someone trying to understand why your paycheck doesn't go as far as it used to, Trump's Inflation Paradox provides the clarity you've been searching for. This is a timely, data-driven, and insight-packed guide for anyone who wants to understand what's really happening in the American economy-and what comes next.
