Trump Keeps Making Up Gas Prices

“President Donald Trump’s imaginary gas price has fallen,” CNN reports.

“Two weeks ago, Trump falsely claimed ‘a couple’ states had just seen gas prices fall to $1.98 per gallon. That was not even close to true – no state had an average lower than about $2.70 per gallon, and there was no evidence any individual station was offering gas for under $2 per gallon – but the next day Trump said ‘three states’ had just hit $1.98 per gallon, which was also far from the truth.”

“Trump repeated this inaccurate assertion about three $1.98 states at least three times this week. Then, during a commencement address at the University of Alabama on Thursday night, he used an even lower figure.”
