President Donald Trump appeared to dismiss concerns about the cost of living for Americans, calling such criticism a "con" by Democrats and touting his record on inflation.

Trump specifically cited what he said was the lower overall cost of Thanksgiving when compared with the tenure of his White House predecessor, Joe Biden.

"So I don't want to hear about the affordability, because right now we're much less," Trump told reporters on Thursday in the White House East Room.
