Harvard economist says Trump inflation report leaves 'no other way to spin it' but good news

Story by Story by Madison Colombo for MSN

A Harvard economist said the latest inflation report delivered unexpectedly strong results, calling it "positive news" with virtually no negative spin to it.

"There's no other way to spin it," Ken Rogoff told "CNN’s News Central" on Thursday.

The stronger-than-expected report arrives as the White House faces continued scrutiny over the pace of the economic recovery. On Thursday, the Labor Department reported that inflation eased to 2.7% in November 2025, down from 3% in September 2025.

Trump imposed tariffs.

Pearls were clutched.

Inflation drops to 2.7%

Tariffs like taxes aren't always borne by the consumer, sometimes they're eaten by the producer.

In this case China. Other nations were willing to deal and China didn't have much choice. Less money for the war machine.

American supply chains will adapt.  American importers will bear lower profit margins on the foreign product of nations with non-existent environmental and labor laws.

Might was well call the tariffs on China the "Chinese Communist Party Slave Labor and Unfair Trade Practices Leveling Adjustment".
