Media Bias Fact Check (MBFC) publishes daily vetted fact checks from verified IFCN-approved sources.

Claimant: Donald Trump (R)

Claim: Prices are coming down “from the highest prices in the history of our country.”

Rating: MOSTLY FALSE

Explanation: PolitiFact reports inflation is about 3%, roughly the same level as when Trump took office. Peak inflation of 9% in 2022 was not historically unprecedented; higher inflation occurred in the 1970s and early 1980s.
