Fact check: Five false claims Trump made about inflation last night
DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA, UNITED STATES, JUL 23 – Fact checks reveal Trump’s inflation claims about gas, grocery prices, and core inflation are inaccurate, with consumer prices rising 2.7% year-over-year, according to official data.
- On Tuesday night, President Donald Trump addressed Republican members of Congress with misleading price assertions, claiming gas was below $2 in five states despite evidence showing no state below $2.71.
- Last week after the Labor Department released the June CPI showing 2.7% inflation, Trump said `We’ve had no inflation`, illustrating his claim that inflation has been resolved despite recent data showing increases.
- Trump claimed gas was below $2 a gallon in five states, but AAA data shows no state dipped below $2.71, Patrick De Haan said.
- 64 percent of US adults disapproved of Trump’s handling of inflation, the CBS News/YouGov poll said, up from 54 percent in March.
- Despite the 2022 inflation peak of 9%, Trump’s new tariffs have not caused a massive spike in prices, reflecting ongoing long-term economic moderation.
