Inflation does not make a recession. It's actually a well accepted principle of macroeconomics that it's impossible to tame inflation without causing more unemployment (and with it, a decline in GDP) and vice-versa. When high inflation and low GDP growth go hand in hand, it's called "stagflation." Read this to understand.

About the comment saying trade is aggravating the recession: I bet every economist who knows about the Smoot-Hawley Tariff disagrees with you.
