Trump Blasts Fox Reporter for Spreading Fake News on Affordability Crisis Among Americans

President Donald Trump sharply criticized Fox Business Networks Edward Lawrence after being questioned about Americans worries over rising costs. The exchange took place during a Cabinet meeting at the White House on Tuesday.

When Lawrence inquired, Regarding affordability, do you think the American people are growing frustrated with your reforms? Trump interrupted, responding, Theyre getting fake news from guys like you. Affordability is a hoax created by Democrats who caused these high prices, and they didnt fix it when they were in power.

Trump emphasized his administrations achievements, stating, We won every swing state, we won the popular vote. Look at the districts2,750 to 500, 525. Thats because of the affordability issue, and we lowered it. Look at energy costs and gasoline pricestheyve dropped significantly. If energy prices fall, everything else follows.

He added, Gasoline is around $1.99 to $2.50 in some areas, unimaginable a year and a half ago. Beef prices are also coming down. We inherited extreme inflation, the worst in history, and we fixed it. Weve managed multiple crises, including eight conflicts, with just one remaining.

Trump also criticized political opponents, saying, They caused these price spikes and now claim to care about affordability. Theyre con artists, pretending to solve a problem they created. Weve reduced prices and stabilized inflation, but they wont give credit where its due.
