3% of GDP as reported by whom? This idea incentivizes manipulating the data.

If it makes you feel any better core inflation is up 167% since 2015. Not the 4% trump is claiming

Up 167% and 4% can both be true mate. 1.5% has been US inflation for a while. 4% is 167% up from 1.5%.

Not saying Trump has done a good job, having a 167% increase in inflation directly shows that tariffs were a shitfest.

Would you me prefer to say the dollar as been devalued so much that zinc a formally worthless metal like zinc is 3¢ on the penny. Or that nickel in a "Nickel" is pushing nearly 13¢ on a 5¢ piece.
