"I think by the time we have to talk about the election, which is in another few months, I think our prices are in good shape," he said in the interview.

But he has famously said "affordability" is a hoax perpetrated by Democrats.

If "affordability" is a hoax, why are prices not already "in good shape"?

I wonder if the WSJ reporter asked him if he was lying to us when he said that?

The headline should read: "Trump admits lying about affordability being a Democratic hoax."
