Inflation is now at 11%, and going higher. Gasoline is at the highest price in history, by far. Just like the war with Russia in Ukraine, this would never have happened with the Trump Administration in charge!!!

Gaslighting Detected:

Inflating inflation figure from 8.3% to 11% — distorting verifiable economic data

Reality Distortions:

Inflation cited as 11% when actual CPI was 8.3%
Unfalsifiable counterfactual that war and inflation would not have occurred under Trump

Fact Checks (3)

"Inflation is now at 11%"

False

CPI inflation for April 2022 was 8.3% year-over-year. No standard inflation measure reached 11% at this time.

"Gasoline is at the highest price in history, by far"

Mostly True

Average gas prices were approaching record highs in May 2022, reaching ~$4.40/gallon nationally. The 'by far' qualifier is an exaggeration — prices were near but not dramatically beyond prior records in nominal terms, and below records in inflation-adjusted terms.

"The war with Russia in Ukraine would never have happened with the Trump Administration"

Unverifiable

Counterfactual claim that cannot be tested. Geopolitical analysts disagree on whether Trump's approach would have deterred or encouraged Russian aggression.
