CNN fact-checker Daniel Dale on Wednesday broke down why Donald Trump simply can’t be trusted when it comes to his bombastic spin on inflation, grocery prices or affordability.
The president has repeatedly downplayed — and at times flat-out dismissed — the cost-of-living crisis, falsely insisting that prices are “way down” substantially under his administration.
But most of “Trump’s claims about prices these days are just not true,” Dale said on “News Central.”
“None of that is true,” Dale responded to one montage of Trump’s declarations.
Dale also noted that prices have increased during Trump’s second term and that inflation has risen every month. As for Trump’s claim that gas prices have “plummeted,” Dale corrected the record to note they are roughly the same as a year ago.
