Oh My: March's Inflation Comes In at Negative 0.1%

Unbelievable. There is usually no way to actually reverse inflation. Once the dollar is inflated, you can't deflate it. All you can do is cut the rate of inflation to something acceptable, like 1% or lower. Prices will go up less slowly... but they will not actually fall.

Usually. Almost always.

But the last month, prices actually fell 0.1%. This brings the yearly inflation rate down to 2.4%.

Note that the Fed's target for an "acceptable" rate of inflation is around 2%.

So Trump is on the threshold of officially beating inflation. (Though I wouldn't mind a little more deflation...)
