“I don’t want to hear about affordability,” the president told reporters at a White House dinner Thursday night hosted by Trump for leaders of several Central Asian countries.
“If you look at energy, we’re getting about $2 a gallon gasoline. With Biden, it was $4.50, $5…We had the worst inflation in the history of our country. Now, we have virtually no inflation,” Trump continued.
But despite being a strong supporter of Trump, Green Condemned the President’s claim that prices have gone down,
When CNN’s Kaitlan Collins asked Thursday night if she agreed with the president on the state of inflation and grocery prices in the country, Greene said, “No.”
“I go to the grocery store myself. Grocery prices remain high. Energy prices remain high. My electric bills are higher here in Washington, D.C., at my apartment, and they’re even higher at my home in Rome, Georgia – higher than they were a year ago.
