    "WashingtonCNN —
    Gas. Groceries. Eggs. Over the last week, President Donald Trump has lied about the price of all of them — using this repeated deception to try to minimize widespread concerns that his tariffs will fuel inflation."

    Never believe a thing the liar says. Gas, he claims is $1.99/gal in several states.... the best AAA found was $2.79/gal. Eggs the liar said were down over 90% from Jan.20th... so someone please tell me where to go to buy those 40 cent/doz. eggs. The liar also stated groceries were down, but March showed the largest increase in grocery prices March-March. Does MAGA actually believe this total load of Trump?

    If he wants to brag about lowering prices, he should stick with the stock mkt.

    MAGA doesn't mind that he tells outright lies right to their faces. Hard to imagine, but true.

    A rise? I think it's funny that people worship a con man who lies to them. Why should I care if we have a lying felon telling us lies?

    That’s a really lame take on this administration. It’s an absolute train wreck, so far. I’m hoping to be dazzled by his brilliance.

    Trump hired the DEI/DUI drunk to lead the Pentagon, Barbie to lead DHS, the heroin-addict anti-vaxxer to lead HHS, and the A1 Steak Sauce granny to lead DoE ....... and he crashed the stock market about 15% just to .....

    ..... get a rise out of little old me. :)

    I mean, it’s an absurd defense.

    Edit: And if that’s actually true?!?
    My gosh…..that’s a good thing? Just absurd.

    Living in a post truth world. People now more apt to champion convenient lies than admit to hard truths. I really don't like this part of the timeline.

    Not remotely true but I find it funny that people don’t realize falling prices are a symptom of a failing economy.

    Now we're going to pretend that the Signal group chat story was made up.

    Yeah, like they cant even do the "some sacrifice is necessary for the greater good" thing (especially after basing their whole political movement on the outrage of Chilis being closed for 3 months during a pandemic) ... so you just gotta say prices are down when they arent.

    So that’s what you are looking for? A troll for president?

    the economy and markets are tanking, Putin and Xi are laughing at Trump, but Trump is still owning the libs!
