Former President Donald Trump struck back against President Joe Biden on Friday after the latter falsely claimed on CNN earlier this week that inflation was at 9 percent when he took office.
President Trump told reporters at a New York City courthouse after a session of his so-called hush money trial ended that inflation was actually at 1.4 percent when he left the presidency—and blamed President Biden’s energy policies for the steep rise in consumer costs during the 46th president’s reign.
