Wasn't the inflation done by Trump though? Not allowing Powell to raise rates and threatening to remove him?

Yes. We Americans have the collective memory of a Mayfly and the inability to pay attention to things that drive actual inflation that take a lot of time to resolve, like bad housing policy, logistics logjams, and starving the beastly budget needed for oversight.

Could be, or the Ukraine war, the pandemic, or some other policy
It's nonfalsifiable. People will settle on the simplest observation:
it happened under Biden

I completely agree that Trump printed a ton of money, but Biden also continued to print a ton of money.
In addition, people tend to associate outcomes with the administration in power even if it’s due to a prior administration. Inflation appeared under Biden, not Trump. Inflation decreasing also does not mean prices decreasing.
