Trump's FOX NFL appearance draws outrage for platforming his lies: 'Shameful'
The facts are at odds with Trump’s comments.
… snip …
In terms of grocery prices, a CNN Fact Check says they were up 1.4% in September:
Grocery prices are up, not down. Grocery prices have increased during Trump’s second term. Average US grocery prices in September were 1.4% higher than they were in January, the month he returned to office, and 2.7% higher than they were in September 2024 under former President Joe Biden, Consumer Price Index figures show. The 0.6% increase in average grocery prices from July 2025 to August 2025 was the biggest month-to-month jump in three years, and it was followed by a 0.3% increase from August to September.
As for his “we inherited a mess” comment, Trump has been in office for 10 months now, and he has presided over the longest government shutdown in American history.
Among the most controversial aspects of the shutdown are cutbacks in SNAP benefits, which are leaving one in eight American hungry, and air travel getting severely impacted as the holidays approach.

The most interesting part of this news article is that the writer is a “sports” writer … but wrote a factual article regarding the lies that were told at a sporting event.
