"But after the meeting concluded, Dale dropped a more comprehensive list of 13 false claims on his X/Twitter account: He claimed he's secured more than $18 trillion in investment commitments since he returned to office. That fictional figure is nearly double the $9.6 trillion figure the White House uses on its website, and a detailed review shows even the smaller WH figure is wildly inflated"
"He claimed grocery prices are down. They're up: 2.7% year-over-year as of September, 1.4% since January He claimed he is cutting prescription drug prices by 500% to 900%. These numbers make no mathematical sense; they'd mean people would get paid to acquire their medications He claimed every military attack on a (purported) drug-smuggling boat saves an average of 25,000 lives. Experts say this number also makes no sense,"
Thirteen false claims were identified from a cabinet meeting. The president claimed he secured more than $18 trillion in investment commitments; that figure is fictional and nearly double the White House's $9.6 trillion figure, which itself is widely inflated. The president claimed grocery prices are down, but grocery inflation was up 2.7% year-over-year as of September and up 1.4% since January. The president claimed prescription drug prices are being cut by 500% to 900%, numbers that are mathematically impossible. The president claimed military attacks on drug-smuggling boats save 25,000 lives on average, a figure experts call nonsensical. The president claimed to have stopped inflation since January, though September's year-over-year inflation was 3.0% and that rate had been rising month-to-month.
