It took the asshole eight seconds to start LYING, and he never stopped….
“I inherited a mess years ago, and I’m fixing it. When I took office, inflation was the worst in 48 years, and some would say in the history of our country,” Trump said in the first of numerous falsehoods throughout the address that his White House requested television networks carry live.
In fact, inflation was down to about 3% when Trump took office 11 months ago and was trending downward still. That trend reversed in May, after Trump declared his trade war against the rest of the world and imposed taxes on most imports ― what has become the largest tax increase on Americans in decades.
Trump claimed the money would come from tariffs collected from imported goods. “We made a lot more money than anybody thought because of tariffs,” he said, but failed to point out that every dollar collected in tariffs comes from American importers, and passed on to US!
