🧩 What's Happening with Prices?
Imagine your favorite toy costs a little bit more money each time you go to the store. That's kind of what's happening with grown-up stuff like food and electricity. President Trump says that when people talk about prices being too high, it's not real, like a made-up story called a 'hoax'.
But, the numbers, like a grown-up's report card for money, say something different! Things like yummy groceries and even the power to turn on the lights are costing more. It's like the price tags are getting a little bigger, even if the President says it's all in our heads.
How the Other Side Might See It
They might say: "President Trump is TRICKING you! He says prices aren't rising, but your pockets are EMPTY! This is a HUGE lie to make you feel bad!" They might even shout and stomp their feet about it!
🌿 The Real Story, Kiddo
It's true that prices went up a LOT a little while ago, like when everyone was stuck at home. Then, they calmed down a bit. Now, some prices are going up again, but not as super-duper fast as before. The President is saying that the *talk* about prices going up is the fake part. But, the numbers from the government, and what people see at the grocery store, show that prices for many things ARE still higher than they used to be.
It's like saying, 'Is the sky falling?' The sky isn't falling, but there might be a few more dark clouds than usual. People who study money, called economists, say it's hard to tell people prices aren't going up when they *see* them going up.
💡 Why This Matters
When prices go up, it means families have to spend more of their allowance to buy the same things. This can make it harder for people to save money for fun things or important stuff, and it makes them feel worried about their money.
