The truth finally comes out.
President Donald Trump is calling out what he says is the real reason Americans are still feeling the pinch of inflation — and he’s blaming a coordinated “Democratic con job” designed to mislead voters and undermine confidence in the booming Trump economy.
During a wide-ranging interview with Laura Ingraham on Fox News’ “The Ingraham Angle,” Trump addressed voter concerns about prices, gas, and the cost of living, insisting that the so-called “economic anxiety” is a media-driven illusion.
“It’s a total con job by the Democrats,” Trump said. “They feed fake stories about the economy to their media allies, and those anchors repeat it word-for-word to scare people. It’s all rigged.”
Trump Slams Media for Pushing Fear and Fake Numbers
Trump argued that mainstream outlets have become “megaphones for the Left,” pumping out doom-and-gloom stories even as everyday costs continue to fall under his leadership.
“They say exactly what they’re told,” Trump continued. “It’s a giant scare campaign, and voters are catching on.”
When Ingraham asked if voters might simply be reacting to higher prices, Trump doubled down:
“They’re being fed a con job. That’s what’s happening.”
Gas Prices Falling, Energy Costs Plummeting Under Trump
Ingraham noted that some prices, like eggs and gasoline, have dropped sharply since Trump returned to the White House, though others like beef and coffee remain elevated.
Trump responded confidently:
“Those prices are coming down fast. Gasoline will soon be hitting $2 again. Under Biden, it was over $4.50. Everyone agrees energy costs have fallen dramatically since I took office.”
Housing Still a Problem — “I Inherited Biden’s Mess”
When asked about housing affordability, Trump didn’t mince words.
“I inherited that,” he said. “Biden raised interest rates and left a total mess. And I’ve got a lousy Fed chairman — he’s gone in a few months.”
Trump: “We’ve Got the Greatest Economy Ever”
Despite polls claiming Americans are worried about inflation, Trump dismissed them as politically manipulated.
“I don’t buy it. Those polls are fake,” he declared. “We’ve got the greatest economy this country has ever seen — jobs are strong, energy is cheap, and confidence is coming back.”
The Bottom Line
President Trump’s message was clear: the real inflation problem isn’t in the economy — it’s in the dishonest headlines coming from the left-wing media and Democratic Party.
“They’re running the same playbook they always do — scare the public, blame Republicans, and hope voters forget how bad Biden’s economy really was,” Trump said.
