Donald Trump Complains About Biden’s Inflation Numbers and Golf Game
In a recent statement, Donald Trump accused President Joe Biden of lying about inflation numbers during their presidencies. Trump claimed that Biden falsely stated that inflation under Trump was 9%, when in reality it was only 1.4% and decreasing. Trump also took a jab at Biden’s golf game, claiming that he can’t hit a ball 100 yards.
Here are some key points that illustrate the lies in Trump’s statement:
– Trump falsely claimed that inflation under his presidency was almost non-existent, when in reality it averaged 1.9%.
– Trump accused Biden of inflating the numbers and creating a “Biden Inflation Tax” of 50%, despite inflation being at 5.7% during Biden’s presidency.
– Trump’s statement about Biden’s golf game is a personal attack and has no basis in fact.
It is important to note that Trump has a history of making false statements and spreading misinformation. According to the Washington Post Fact Checker, Trump made over 30,000 false or misleading claims during his time in office (source: https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2021/01/24/trump-fact-checker-4921/).
Trump’s narcissistic lying poses a threat to democracy by undermining the trust in institutions and spreading misinformation. When a public figure like Trump consistently lies and manipulates the truth for personal gain, it erodes the foundation of democracy and creates a culture of distrust and division among the public. It is crucial for the media and the public to hold leaders accountable for their words and actions in order to protect the integrity of our democratic system.
