Trump says petrol and grocery prices are down. Facts say otherwise

The US President incorrectly claimed that petrol, eggs, and grocery prices had dropped while highlighting strong home sales data. However, recent data shows only some of his claims are accurate: petrol prices trend downward but not as sharply as he suggested, home sales remain strong despite a slowdown in housing mobility, eggs actually rose in price, and grocery costs have slightly increased rather than decreased. The President’s incorrect statements about eggs and groceries were contradicted by latest figures, while petrol prices’ modest decline was also less severe than stated.
