On one hand, he's not wrong, overall inflation for 2020 was on par for a normal year, we're not headed into hyperinflation territory just yet. But you also have to realize that some people are affected quite a bit harder by the crazy shifts in deflated and inflated costs this year.

Look at the breakdown of the line items that make up the US inflation rate for 2020 and you see that the massive drop in fuel cost (-19%) caused a massive offset to the overall number.
