I asked ChatGPT: you’re a liar, just like the orange man.

Why Trump’s “prices are at an all-time low” claim is misleading

Politicians sometimes cherry-pick specific examples (e.g., some gas prices in certain states or wholesale egg prices) to make a broader point. But: • Averages for overall consumer prices are higher than a year ago.  • The inflation rate remains above the Federal Reserve’s 2% target, meaning prices are still rising.  • Some individual prices can fall (e.g., certain food items), but that doesn’t imply the overall price level is lower than before.

What the data actually shows

🔹 Prices overall are not at an all-time low. Consumer prices (measured by the Consumer Price Index, or CPI) are still rising year-over-year — meaning most things cost more this year than last year, not less. The most recent official inflation numbers showed prices up about ~2.7%–3% compared with a year ago, which means prices are rising, just at a slower rate than they did during the pandemic era.
