Only twice in the five speeches did Trump acknowledge that prices are still too high, but he blamed them on Biden. Democrats caused prices "to be too high," Trump told a rally in Pennsylvania on December 9. In four of the speeches Trump repeatedly and haphazardly switches topics, often when he is in the middle of talking about the economy, the Reuters review found. Prices remain high, even though the inflation rate has inched down since Trump took office, from 3 per cent to 2.7 per cent. In some of the speeches Trump correctly identifies a drop in prices for a few everyday goods, including eggs and gas.
