WASHINGTON, D.C. (TIP): President Trump said today, February 19, during remarks at a steel plant in Georgia that he would speak about affordability and inflation in his State of the Union address next Tuesday, February 24.
“The last three months, we’ve had the lowest inflation we have had in over a decade,” Trump told the crowd in Rome, Georgia. “You don’t have it anymore. I’m going to make a State of the Union address on Tuesday. I hope you’re going to watch and we’re going to be talking about it.” Inflation increased 0.2% from December to January, but dropped to 2.4% in January compared to a year earlier.
The president continued his remarks today by referencing Democrats’ use of the word affordability, asking the crowd, “Do people believe it?” “They cause the affordability problem, and we’ve solved it, and we’re going still lower, but we’ve solved it,” Trump said.
The president has repeatedly called affordability a “hoax” and a “scam” by Democrats, despite the fact that some Democrats won in November by using affordability as a center of their campaigns amid rising economic concerns from Americans.
