Donald Trump: "“Did you see the charts that came in yesterday?”"

During an August interview, President Donald Trump drew attention to a chart he had posted on Truth Social that he said showed his administration achieving the lowest inflation among the last ten presidencies. The graphic, created by an Instagram account, compared cumulative price increases over his first 18 months in office against totals for previous presidents' full four-year terms, leaving his line incomplete. Federal data measuring the same 18-month point in each term place Trump fourth highest, not lowest. The graphic's creator said it was not intended to predict full-term results. A White House spokesperson praised the administration's inflation record without specifically addressing the chart's accuracy. Trump's comment, made in a conversation with commentator Wayne Allyn Root, asked whether Root had seen the chart.
