Donald Trump is facing criticism after claiming “affordability” is not a real word during a conference. Soon after the remark, social media users mocked his comments while questioning his handling of inflation.
Critics said Donald Trump’s comments undermined his efforts to address inflation
During a recent press interaction at the defense and technology summit in Pennsylvania, Trump claimed “affordability” is not a real word. He said, “That’s a fake word that they use; they caused the affordability problem. It’s called high prices. They came up with these words, and we came up with a good word. The democrats dumb.” His remarks quickly sparked reactions across social media.
One user said, “Omfg I have not laughed this hard in years, woke husband up. He is just a dumbfuck!!!! He has an economics degree, but has never heard of the word affordability? WTF I’m dying….He probably binged on DumDums when he was a little ?, so that’s how he figured dumb was spelled.” Critics argued that his remarks have weakened the discussion on inflation.
Another X user said, “He’s saying that he doesn’t care about the American people, and he’s not getting impeached if Biden said this, the MAGAts would be clenching their pearls.”
One user commented, “Literally every one above 6 knows dude @realDonaldTrump. The fact that he repeats it all the time is such a hilarious tell. This fuck is ridiculous.”
The remarks came while Trump was discussing inflation at the summit, according to Ok! Magazine. POTUS said, “We inherited the highest inflation in the history of our country. I had the first news conference, the day after I took office, they said Affordability.” The clip quickly became a topic of discussion online, with many users criticizing his comments while others debated his characterization of inflation.
