Fact check: The second inaugural address of Donald Trump

President Donald Trump mostly stuck to lofty generalities and promises of action during his second inaugural address, making far fewer checkable claims than he typically does in his speeches.

But Trump did make a smattering of inaccurate statements. Here is a fact check.

Inflation rates: Trump falsely claimed the US experienced “record inflation” during the Biden administration. Trump could fairly say the US inflation rate hit a 40-year high in June 2022, when it was 9.1%, but that was not close to the all-time record of 23.7%, set in 1920. (And the rate has since plummeted. The most recent available inflation rate at the time Trump spoke here was 2.9% in December.)
