During his televised Cabinet meeting on Tuesday, President Donald Trump claimed that concerns about the affordability of goods and services are a “fake narrative.” Trump also falsely claimed that the entire issue is a “scam” by the Democratic Party.

“There’s this fake narrative that the Democrats talk about—affordability. They just say the word, it doesn’t mean anything to anybody,” Trump said. He went on to say “the word ‘affordability’ is a con job by the Democrats” and said it was a “Democrat[ic] scam.”
Trump sang a completely different tune in a Nov. 29 post to Truth Social, where he wrote, “I AM THE AFFORDABILITY PRESIDENT. TALK LOUDLY AND PROUDLY! President
