Trump Crowns Himself 'THE AFFORDABILITY PRESIDENT' In Rant About Midterms
HuffPost
The MAGA leader has repeatedly dismissed affordability as a non-issue, only to claim Saturday that his efforts will help Republicans win the 2026 midterms.
President Donald Trump dubbed himself “the affordability president” in a Saturday morning social media rant that featured some fuzzy math in an attempt to dismiss widespread economic concerns and fuel his claims that his efforts would help Republicans win the 2026 midterms.
“Because I have invoked FAVORED NATIONS STATUS FOR THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, DRUG PRICES ARE FALLING AT LEVELS NEVER SEEN BEFORE, 500%, 600%, 700%, and more,” Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform.
Trump has frequently wielded numbers in this manner throughout his second term, claiming in July that he will cut prescription drug costs by 1,500% — despite numerous fact-checking outlets noting that percentages don’t work that way. Price cuts exceeding 100% would, in theory, mean customers themselves are being paid.
“No other President has been able to do this, BUT I HAVE!” Trump wrote Saturday. “This is also the answer to much less expensive, and far better, HEALTHCARE! Republicans, remember, this was done by us, and nobody else.”
He continued, “This is a revolution in medicine, the biggest and most important event, EVER. If this story is properly told, we should win the Midterm Elections in RECORD NUMBERS. I AM THE AFFORDABILITY PRESIDENT. TALK LOUDLY AND PROUDLY!”
