华盛顿
—— 特朗普总统周三为最新的通胀飙升拍手叫好，称相关数据“非常棒”，并表示“我喜欢通胀”。他给出的理由是，美国正通过霍尔木兹海峡“拿下”他所称的“数百万桶”伊朗石油；他还称，一旦冲突结束，油价和通胀将迅速回落。
周三，一名记者在椭圆形办公室询问总统，是否对消费者价格指数（CPI）同比上涨4.2%感到担忧。该涨幅高于上月的3.8%，为2023年4月以来的最高水平。新的通胀数据于周三早些时候发布。
“不，我喜欢它，”总统说，“这些数字很棒。你知道我真正喜欢什么吗？我喜欢通胀。你知道为什么吗？因为战争一结束。你知道，我现在可以说了，这是你们之前不知道的事。你们知道我们拿下了多少石油吗？数百万桶。没人知道这件事。你知道谁不知道吗？伊朗，直到现在。我们前几天晚上拿下了22艘船。深夜行动，没有开灯。因为他们的雷达被我们彻底摧毁了，他们根本没有雷达。我们拿下了这些石油。这就是为什么油价现在是每桶85美元。”
尽管近几周油价有所回落，但作为国际油价基准的布伦特原油周三午盘约为每桶94美元。总统表示，他原本预计油价会比现在更高，并指出股市已创下历史新高。
周三下午，特朗普在真相社交平台上称，他已下令军方执行一项秘密任务，为通过霍尔木兹海峡的油轮及其他商业船只提供支援。
“今天，我很高兴地宣布，这项行动已使超过1亿桶石油顺利通过海峡，进入公开市场，”他说，“已有超过200艘商业船只安全通过该海峡。这项取得巨大成功的行动之所以能实现，是因为美利坚合众国控制着霍尔木兹海峡——而不是伊朗。他们的军队已经被击败，他们的经济已经完蛋。伊朗的时代结束了！”
总统称，油价仍未达到他战前预期的水平，而美国股市正处于“历史最高水平”。他还说委内瑞拉是“一项巨大的成功”，美国正从委内瑞拉和伊朗手中获取数百万桶石油。
“我认为他们会愿意达成协议，但我们拭目以待，”他在谈到伊朗时说道。
一名记者询问总统，是否预计战争结束后通胀会回落。
“战争结束后？通胀会降下来。会像石头一样砸下来，”他说，“再说一遍，我们拿下了数百万桶石油——我今天也是第一次公开宣布，但我们每晚都在拿下数百万桶石油。数百万桶。每一晚。”
尽管总统近日表示，油价将回落至战前水平，甚至更低，但联邦政府的预测与他的说法相悖。美国能源信息署曾在1月份预测，2027年美国零售汽油均价将为每加仑2.95美元，如今该机构预测2027年的汽油均价将达到3.64美元。而1月份的平均油价还远低于每加仑3美元。
尽管经济和生活成本曾是特朗普民调中的强项，但如今他在经济议题上的民调支持率处于不利地位。更高的通胀正值中期选举年，届时共和党将力争保住众议院和参议院的控制权。
民主党人抓住总统的通胀言论大做文章。
“特朗普真的说了‘我喜欢通胀’。在镜头前。全美国人民都听到了，”参议院少数党领袖查克·舒默在X平台上写道，“他对你们的蔑视毫无底线。”
“特朗普刚刚承认他‘喜欢通胀’，”众议院少数党党鞭凯瑟琳·克拉克写道，“他喜欢让你们的生活成本飙升。他喜欢以牺牲你们的利益为代价，让自己身家暴涨40亿美元。”

Trump says “I love the inflation” because U.S. is “taking out” Iranian oil

Washington
— President Trump on Wednesday applauded the latest inflation spike, saying the numbers are “great” and “I love the inflation” because the U.S. is “taking out” what he called “millions” of barrels of Iranian oil through the Strait of Hormuz and because once the conflict is over, he said oil prices and inflation will drop rapidly.
A reporter asked the president in the Oval Office Wednesday if he’s concerned that the Consumer Price Index rose at an annual rate of 4.2%, up from 3.8% in the prior month and marking the highest level since April 2023. The new inflation numbers were released earlier Wednesday.
“No, I love it,” the president said. “The numbers were great. You know what I really love? I love the inflation. You know why? Because as soon as this war is over. You know, I can say it now, something you didn’t know. Did you know we’ve been taking out millions of barrels of oil? Nobody knows it. You know who doesn’t know about it? Iran, until right now. We took out the other night, 22 ships. Late at night, with no lights. Because they don’t have any radar because we blasted the crap out of it. We took out. That’s why oil’s $85 a barrel.”
While the cost has come down in recent weeks, the cost of Brent crude — the international standard — was about $94 per barrel at midday Wednesday. The president said he expected oil prices to be even higher than they are now, and noted that the stock market has reached all-time highs.
On Truth Social Wednesday afternoon, the president said he directed the military to “execute a secret mission” to support oil tankers and other commercial ships through the Strait of Hormuz.
“Today, I am pleased to announce that this effort has resulted in more than 100 MILLION Barrels of Oil making its way through the Straight, and into the Open Market,” he said. “More than 200 Commercial Ships have safely traveled through the Strait. This wildly successful effort is because the UNITED STATES of AMERICA CONTROLS the Strait of Hormuz — NOT Iran. Their military is defeated, and their economy is lost. It’s over for Iran!”
The president said oil prices still aren’t as high as he anticipated ahead of the war, and the U.S. stock market is hitting “all-time historical highs.” The president said Venezuela was a “great success,” and the U.S. is extracting millions from both Venezuela and Iran.
“I think they’re going to want to make a deal, but we’re going to find out,” he said of Iran.
A reporter asked the president if he expects inflation to fall once the war is over.
“When the war is over? It’s coming down. It’s going to come down like a rock,” he said. “And again, we’re taking out millions, which, I’m just announcing today for the first time, but we’ve been taking out millions of barrels of oil. Millions. Every night.”
Despite the president’s recent comments that the price of gas will come down to pre-war prices, if not lower, federal government predictions disagree with him. The U.S. Energy Information Administration, which in January predicted retail gas in 2027 would be $2.95 on average per gallon, now predicts gas will average $3.64 in 2027. Gas was easily under $3 a gallon on average in January.
Mr. Trump is underwater in polls on the economy, despite the economy and cost of living once being his strongpoints in polling. Higher inflation is also coming in a midterm election year when Republicans are battling to keep control of the House and Senate.
Democrats seized on the president’s inflation comments.
“Trump really said, ‘I love the inflation.’ On camera. For all of America to hear,” Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer wrote on X. “His contempt for you knows no bounds.”
“Trump just admitted he ‘love[s] the inflation,’” House Minority Whip Katherine Clark wrote. “He loves making your costs skyrocket. He loves being $4 billion richer at your expense.”
