By
The Onion Staff
Tries hard. Doesn't quite make it out of the oven in one piece.
Summary
The article fact-checks President Trump's claims about affordability and the cost of living, using satirical humor to debunk his statements. It presents several claims made by Trump and provides 'fact-check' responses, including that the cost of living is only low compared to what it will be in the future, that Trump hasn't actually brought prices down, and that 'Trumponomics' is actually a 1996 CD-ROM game rather than an economic solution.
