AllSides Media Bias Rating: Left
President Donald Trump made false claims about inflation and birthright citizenship in an interview with CNBC on Tuesday morning.
CNBC anchor Joe Kernen correctly informed Trump that while there were significant price increases during former President Joe Biden's administration, the inflation rate "was down to about where it is now, about 3%," by the time Biden was leaving office.
Trump responded with a false claim: "No it wasn't. It was down to 5%, it wasn't down to 3%."
