Trump cited big declines in gasoline prices. He’s wrong.

President Donald Trump said May 7 that gasoline prices have “come down very substantially today.” Gas prices were rising when he said that, and they are near an all-time high.

"Despite the widespread destruction and the killings of officials by the U.S. and Israeli militaries, the Iranian regime is acting emboldened, having demonstrated that it can wreak havoc in global trade and send U.S. gas prices soaring."

Daniel Dale: "Pres. Trump, hosting a Board of Peace meeting at the US Institute of Peace building his administration has named for him, falsely claimed of the building:
1) 'It was built without anybody in mind.' It was custom-built for USIP.
2) 'Nobody occupied it.' It was occupied by USIP until the Trump administration locked out the organization last year."
