"We remember when the [Consumer Price Index] was up 9.1%, she said. President Trump had that as a priority when he walked into the Oval Office for the second time. This has been his priority.

"There are certainly commodities that are still high. People are frustrated with housing and the price of homes. People are frustrated with certain food items. But there are a number of things that President Trump has already been incredibly successful doing. So, when he says this affordability issue is a hoax, he's right!
