Donald Trump tried to defend his poor handling of inflation in his second presidential term by sharing a misleading chart on Truth Social.
During a frantic social media posting spree on Sunday, the 80-year-old president shared a video comparing the rates of inflation in his second term with those recorded under predecessors Joe Biden, Barack Obama, Bill Clinton, George W Bush, and George H.W. Bush.
The evolving chart features cumulative CPI-U inflation between months 18 and 48 of each of the last 10 presidential terms, with Trump’s second term conveniently falling to the bottom of the list by the end of the clip.
