Fact check: Trump keeps making up gas prices [View all]

President Donald Trump’s imaginary gas price has fallen.

Two weeks ago, Trump falsely claimed “a couple” states had just seen gas prices fall to $1.98 per gallon. That was not even close to true – no state had an average lower than about $2.70 per gallon, and there was no evidence any individual station was offering gas for under $2 per gallon – but the next day Trump said “three states” had just hit $1.98 per gallon, which was also far from the truth.

Trump repeated this inaccurate assertion about three $1.98 states at least three times this week. Then, during a commencement address at the University of Alabama on Thursday night, he used an even lower figure.

“Gasoline prices just hit $1.88 cents a gallon in three states,” Trump said. “Can you believe it?”
