Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Corva Coleman.
President Trump visited a Pennsylvania resort in Casino last night to tout what he's doing to make the cost of living more affordable for Americans.
Speaking to a crowd,
Trump insisted his administration has lowered prices compared to the Biden administration.
They gave you high prices, they gave you the highest inflation in history and we're giving you,
we're bringing those prices down rapidly, lower prices, bigger paychecks.
But inflation this past September, the most recent month that was measured,
was at the same point as it was during former President Biden's last month in office.
During his talk last night,
Trump wandered off the affordability topic and turned to bashing his opponents.
He used epithets to describe countries in Africa and immigrants from Somalia.
If you don't share our values,
contribute to our economy and assimilate into our society that we don't want you in our country.
We don't want you.
