It was only inevitable that at some point a thousand Dem and media "Trump crashes the economy" takes would age badly, but the New York Times brought the news to lefties who will be disappointed.
You can almost feel the letdown in the Times' post about the news:
Breaking News: U.S. consumer prices rose 2.4% in May from a year earlier, a reading that shows the impact of President Trump’s tariffs remains limited. https://t.co/DK3qNict5z

Sorry, NYT. Not this time.
Missing the word "dammit" at the end, but otherwise a good headline. https://t.co/J4Zr82qoo9

Up next we expect the obligatory "prices didn't go up because of Trump's tariffs and here's why that's not necessarily a good thing" from the media (looking at you, CNN).
Strange way of saying “we were wrong”

It's really the best they can do.
Yesterday NYT: Trump Crashes Economy

Today NYT: Oops, Never mind https://t.co/VTsRRmBIPC
Now they'll hope we just forget what they'd been previously reporting and move on.
So the NYT panic porn on the economy was unfounded.

They tried, and will try again at some point.
