Donald Trump has a history of making false claims and controversial statements that he cannot get away from. He makes controversial claims that don’t always make sense, and then his administration officials try to clear up his mess.
They usually state that Trump meant something else, or they will rectify his statement with another factually backed one. However, Trump again makes the claim and baffles everyone, even after a major cleanup by his team.
Whether it’s about grocery prices or FBI agents’ deployment, Trump does not shy away from making such claims. For grocery prices, Trump claims the prices will go down in his second presidency; however, the prices have increased by up to 1.4% since January and 2.7% since last September.
On the other hand, Kevin Hassett, director of the White House’s National Economic Council, said the grocery prices may not be down, but the “egg prices are down.” Moreover, he said that the average inflation rate is down compared to what it was during Biden’s administration. CNN’s Kaitlan Collins inquired about the same, and he added, “Inflation is down, which is what he means.”
Grocery prices. Gas prices. Prescription drug prices. Overall prices. Over just three days, Trump made false claims about all of them. Here’s a fact check: https://t.co/tYr9oG9Z2n pic.twitter.com/nTD1xxtz8J

The White House tried to imply the same in a press release revealing a decline in monthly grocery prices. Meanwhile, the press release failed to discuss anything about grocery items that now cost more.
After the press release, Trump repeated his false claims on Sunday. He told reporters, “From an economic standpoint, our prices are coming down very substantially on groceries and things. They’re already at a much lower level than they were with the last administration.”
What he said isn’t true at all, since he went back to his original claim. So Hassett cannot say that Trump meant something else. Now, coming to the FBI agent deployment claim, Trump wrote that former FBI director Christopher Wray lied about the agents’ deployment.

Needless to say, this isn’t true, and CNN found that the FBI agents were responding to the riot, and they were not undercover in the Capitol. Trump’s team tried to clarify the records and the activities of the agents on Jan. 6, only for Trump to make the same claims with a conspiracy theory two months later.
Kash Patel posted, “Agents were sent into a crowd control mission after the riot was declared by Metro Police – something that goes against FBI standards. 274 FBI agents were thrown into crowd control on Jan 6 against FBI standards.”
