💨 Abstract

President Donald Trump's recent speech boasted about economic progress, but his claims were challenged by facts. Trump asserted that prices are falling rapidly, but inflation rates remain similar to when he took office. He also claimed record-breaking investment, but evidence suggests this figure is exaggerated. Additionally, Trump described his election victory as a landslide, though it was not historically significant. Public polls indicate that many Americans are experiencing higher prices for essential goods.
