Donald Trump’s newest untruth acquired a swift reality examine on X (previously Twitter).
The Republican 2024 front-runner claimed gasoline is now promoting for “5, 6, 7 and even $8 a gallon” throughout an interview with former Fox News host Lou Dobbs that aired Monday on LindellTV, the platform based by MyPillow CEO and longtime Trump ally Mike Lindell.
Attorney Ron Filipkowski shared the clip of Trump’s false declare on X and a reader-added group word was quickly added to the put up.
It learn, “GasBuddy finds not one single station in their database of ~150,000 gas stations at $8 per gallon.”
It’s not the primary time Trump has wildly exaggerated gasoline costs in a bid to stir anger towards President Joe Biden.
The four-times-indicted former president made the identical declare throughout a 2024 marketing campaign rally in Iowa final month.
“Gasoline prices are now 5, 6, 7 and even 8 dollars a gallon,” he stated. “By contrast, under the Trump leadership, my leadership, inflation was nonexistent, and we had gasoline down to $1.87 a gallon.”
