Trump Blames High Prices On The Price [View all]

WASHINGTON—In response to criticism over his failure to alleviate the affordability crisis facing many Americans, President Donald Trump vehemently blamed high prices Friday on the price. “Prices are prices—that’s how much it costs,” said Trump, calling out Democrats as well as “disloyal” Republicans for spreading rumors that his 2024 campaign rhetoric about lowering costs had anything to do with the price. “Democrats want to accuse me of all sorts of things, but I’ve got nothing to do with these so-called prices. If you want lower prices, you’ll have to find the man who puts the price stickers on with the price gun. That’s the price guy. But once the price is on there, that’s the price, and you can’t change that.” The president went on to express doubt that things even cost money to begin with.
