Out of all the unbelievable claims made by Donald Trump about his administration’s “achievements,” his economic claims top the list. On Wednesday, he chose to invoke the “tariff shelf” again to prove America is thriving.
During a press meeting on December 3, Trump said his aides are suddenly “finding” money that “they never knew existed.” And he had the figures ready, too. Claiming it’s all thanks to his tariffs, he said that his staff found “$30 billion the other day.” And just like every other conversation he has in his head, they called him saying, “Sir.” Anytime Trump quotes a conversation where someone calls him “sir,” remember the lie detector goes bright red.
