The price increases caused by President Donald Trump’s decision to go to war with Iran have made a lot of Americans unhappy with him. When he’s been asked about the inflation or the unhappiness, Trump has repeatedly responded with lies — fictional stories about how low prices supposedly were before the war.
The president has concocted a fantasy — of sub-$2 gas, sub-2% inflation, and generally reduced prices — that bears little resemblance to the actual state of the country prior to the first strikes against Iran on February 28. CNN’s "NewsNight" panel debates, and CNN’s Matt Egan breaks down current gas prices, which have hit a wartime high.
