People point out bizarre moment Trump 'lies' about price of gas and eggs in wild footage

The cost to live has us all in shambles right now, so we know exactly how much our food is costing us, but apparently, the President has other ideas.

Donald Trump has been caught allegedly ‘lying’ about the true cost of gas and eggs in a strange moment caught on camera.

Now, you’ll know that if you go to Walmart and grab a gallon of full fat milk, it’s going to set you back just under four dollars.

It’s a price we all know about as we buy milk often.

As for gas, it’s also a couple of dollars per gallon, at the cheapest price.

So, why are people so shocked at what Trump has said?

Well, it’s because he was way off base.

In a clip shared online to X, he can be seen calling a journalist ‘fake’ after she asked him about the cost of living and claimed that US citizens are seeing their grocery and gas bills increase.

Trump went on to say that gas prices in several states were ‘way down’ and the price had even dropped to ‘$1.98’ per gallon.

But that is just not true.

One person online said: “He's on crack? I just went grocery shopping.”

Another wrote: “I want to know where this 1.98 gas is i just paid 3.15 today.”

He also stated: “Before I got here…the press, the fake news like you, the fake news is screaming at me, like about eggs.”

“The price of groceries are substantially down,” he said. “The price of eggs. You know, when I came in, [the press] hit me with eggs. I just got there.”

He continued: “They said, you won’t have eggs for Easter, which is coming up. Happy Easter, everybody. And now eggs are all over the place, and the price went down 92% and our Commissioner of Agriculture, Brooke [Rollins], has done a fantastic job.”

Claiming that gas, groceries and oil have all dropped in price ‘substantially’, this caused viewers online to hit back.

As of Thursday April 17, the average price of gasoline nationwide was $3.17 at the pump.

They wrote: “No state had an average gas price even close to $1.98 per gallon [as of} Wednesday.”

In fact, the national average was about $3.17 per gallon, according to AAA data, as per CNN’s chief fact-checker Daniel Dale.

To this, even CNN’s Chief White House Correspondent Kaitlan Collins posted on X and fact-checked the figures given by the president.

White House spokesperson Harrison Fields chastised reporters to get out of their ‘big city bubble’ and to look at ‘Middle America’ if they want to see under $2 gas prices, however… the prices still do not match.

Even GasBuddy, a company that tracks prices of gas stations around found no stations selling gas for under $2.

A dozen eggs come to $3.13 on average, which is down from $8 in early March last year, according to tradingeconomincs.com.

The day Trump took office, Grade A eggs were $5.81 a dozen, and just last month they were up to a record high of $6.23 a dozen, as per the Consumer Price Index reported April 10.
