Trump falsely claimed gas prices hit $1.98 in several states. Data from AAA and GasBuddy show that no state average was below $2.70 per gallon, with the lowest price being $2.19.
Trump asserted that grocery prices are down, but federal Consumer Price Index data reveals a 0.49% increase in March from February and a 2.41% year-over-year increase.
Trump's claim that egg prices dropped by 93-94% is grossly inaccurate. While wholesale egg prices have decreased, the consumer price of a dozen eggs reached a record high of about $6.23 in March. The White House couldn't substantiate this claim and offered alternative arguments.
