Duh.
As supply chains caught up, inflation eased.

None of this was or is rocket science. It was pretty basic stuff, but any attempts to so state was immediately attacked as partisan apologist type defense of the Biden Administration.

Rule of thumb.
Barring a black swan type event/phenomena, in the US the first 2 years of an administrations economy belong to the previous administration. The third year is a blending. Only in the fourth year of an administration does that administrations economic philosophies/policies start to have visible and measureable outcomes that they completely own.

9/11 was a Black Swan event.
For better or worse, Trump is a Black Swan phenomena.
