President Donald Trump made a shocking statement during a Cabinet meeting. He called the focus on “affordability” a “Democrat scam.” This comes at a time when millions of Americans are struggling to pay their bills.
“The word affordability is a Democrat scam,” Trump said, according to Fox Business. “They say it and then they go into the next subject and everyone thinks, ‘oh, they had lower prices.’ No, they had the worst inflation in the history of our country.” He claimed his own administration has “stopped inflation in its tracks” since January. As proof, he pointed to lower gas prices, mortgage rates, and cheaper eggs.
