More recently, after an impressive set of victories by Democratic candidates running on #affordability issues, including #ZohranMamdani’s campaign in NYC, #Trump has taken to insisting that #prices aren’t rising [lying]. “Every price is down,” Trump claimed 2 days after the election this month. The White House put out a news release a few days later declaring that “inflation has been tamed” (it hasn’t) & that “everyday prices are beginning to drop” (they also have not).
