Trump dismissed affordability as a word ‘made up by the Democrats’ and promised oil would come ‘tumbling down’—then it hit $100 a barrel

He attributed high inflation to his predecessor Joe Biden and 'radical left Democrats,' while a Georgia gubernatorial candidate, Rick Jackson, reframed affordability as a business issue.
