‘They Always Have a Hoax’: Trump Kicks Off Affordability Tour in Pennsylvania

On the first stop of President Donald Trump’s affordability tour, he said making America affordable is his highest priority, while again calling the term a Democrat hoax.

“I have no higher priority than making America affordable again,” Trump said. “That’s what we’re going to do. And again, [Democrats] cause the high prices and we’re bringing them down.”

Trump held a rally in Mount Pocono, Pennsylvania, a swing district. It was the first of many domestic trips planned to tout Republicans’ affordability agenda ahead of midterms.

Trump said White House chief of staff Susie Wiles told him it’s time to start campaigning again.

“‘I won,'” he said. “‘What do I have to do already?’ They said, ‘We have to win the midterms, and you’re the guy that’s going to take us over the midterms.'”

Trump said Democrats gave America “high prices” and the “highest inflation in history.”

“And we’re giving you, we’re bringing those prices down rapidly,” he said. “Lower prices, bigger paychecks. You’re getting lower prices, bigger paychecks. We’re getting inflation, we’re crushing it. And you’re getting much higher wages. I mean, the only thing that’s really going up big, it’s called the stock market and your 401Ks.”

According to a recent Gallup poll, 40% of Americans rated economic conditions as poor in November, a small increase from 37% in October.

Trump said Democrats “always have a hoax.”

“The new word is ‘affordability,'” he said. “So, they look at the camera and they say, ‘This election is all about affordability.’ Now they never talk about it. They never talk.”

Trump said inflation is “essentially gone.”

“We brought prices way down from what it was,” he said. “We’re going to have the greatest economy in history.”

Fibis I am just an average American. My teen years were in the late 70s and I participated in all that that decade offered. Started working young, too young. Then I joined the Army before I graduated High School. I spent 25 years in, mostly in Infantry units. Since then I've worked in information technology positions all at small family owned companies. At this rate I'll never be a tech millionaire. When I was young I rode horses as much as I could. I do believe I should have been a cowboy. I'm getting in the saddle again by taking riding lessons and see where it goes.
