Fact check: Grocery prices are up, not ‘way down’ as Trump claimed | CNN Politics Newly released inflation figures show that President Donald Trump was wrong when he repeatedly claimed this month that grocery prices are “down” or “way down.”

“Newly released inflation figures show that President Donald Trump was wrong when he repeatedly claimed this month that grocery prices are ‘down’ or ‘way down.’"

Repeating a lie doesn’t make it true.

We live in a time where intelligent people are being silenced so that stupid people won't be offended.

We live in a time where intelligent people are being silenced so that stupid people won't be offended.

Multiple sides to this meme:
- #Intelligence is silenced to protect stupid & ignorant people
- Truth & facts are censored to promote lies & #misinformation
- Covering up #criminal behaviors to protect dangerous people
- Accurate #education is replaced with misleading education to dumb people down

📽️ WATCH: The U.S. government doesn’t track how often immigration agents detain citizens. So ProPublica did.

We found more than 170 incidents since the start of Trump’s second term. Americans have been kicked, dragged and held for days without access to lawyers.

Ex-IDF legal chief held for video leak showing abuse of Gaza detainee Maj. Gen. Yifat Tomer-Yerushalmi admitted releasing the footage, saying ‘there are acts that must not be committed, even against the most despicable of detainees.’

After killing close to 1000 journalist and their crews, now they imprison their own so they can deny that they have become as barbaric as their captors during WWII. It's a strong statement, but it's only backed by facts. FACTS.

Walmart, McDonalds and Amazon are the largest employers of people who require SNAP assistance.

The CEOs earned between 18-40 million last year, 1000x their median employee income.

They took billions in profits, while their workers relied on SNAP to survive.

Wanna fix fraud and abuse?

Fix that.

We don’t have a money problem in this country.

We have a greed problem. A cruelty problem.

A government that keeps choosing the rich over the rest of us.

This pretty much sums up our government under this administration.

Trump pardoned Binance cofounder Changpeng Zhao after Binance made a $2 billion investment in his family’s crypto venture.

Now Trump is claiming he has no idea who Zhao is.
