Friday, the journalist of the New York Times, Maggie Haberman, checked the extremely inaccurate statements of President Donald Trump on the situation of his second term on Friday.
“There is in fact a limit to how much he can continue to say that and to make his own voters believe, but he seems at the moment,” Haberman told Kaitlan CNN of the Boutardises de Trump prices.
Trump – As part of his discourse at the start of the University of Alabama whom he used to complain about politics on Thursday – said that the gas prize had reached $ 1.88 per gallon in three states.
“Can you believe it? It was $ 3.50. It was $ 4. We shivered, Oh, we do,” Trump told the promotion.
The national average for a gallon of gas is $ 3.18, by AAA, $ 1.30 more than Trump’s figure (and $ 1.20 more than other number which he boasted on his social platform of truth).
On Friday, AAA noted that the Mississippi had the lowest average state for a gallon of gas at $ 2.66.
Collins asked Haberman if she thinks that Trump is as “carefree” that he seemed to concern the prospect of a recession because of his trade policies.
“No, I don’t do it, but I think it’s the front it puts,” said Haberman.
“(The Administration) has obtained good news today in terms of the job front. Yes, market figures have bounced somewhat. You are right to say that he continues to say things about prices that simply do not contain with reality. ”
The President has repeatedly boasted that gas prices are less than $ 2 under his administration, says he rested alongside other baseless affirmations on the cost of grocery products and eggs.
His recent affirmations at the University of Alabama arrive when he minimizes the possibility of a recession triggered by his prices, telling the host “Meet the Press”, Kristen Welker, that such a scenario would be a “transition period”.
Haberman told Collins that she had noticed that Trump’s statements of truth responded to prices’ decrease, telling the president that his figures do not reflect those where they live.
