"Inflation Is Over": Fact-Checking Trump's Prime-Time Christmas Fantasy From the White House - FIVE MINUTE NEWS
Donald Trump took to prime time from the White House to announce that inflation is gone, prices are falling, drug costs have dropped by “600%,” and mystery checks are already in the mail. Reality, unfortunately, did not get the memo.

From the magical “warrior dividend” to grocery prices that apparently only exist on Truth Social, we compare what was said with what the data actually shows. - 12/19/2025.
