Answer

Prices have generally increased under Trump, with consumers and parents reporting higher costs for goods such as school supplies and food. Anticipation of tariffs and inflation has led to early shopping to avoid further price hikes. No evidence suggests a broad decrease in prices during Trump's administration.
