Daniel Dale: Trump Could’ve Cited Price of Bacon Increase ‘Accurately,’ It Would Still Work for Him

EXCERPT:

DALE: "So, in this interview, Trump, for the second time in the last two weeks, claimed that the price of bacon has gone up by five times, that it has quintupled under Joe Biden. Well, we have very good stats in this country on the price of bacon. It’s increased about 12% under Joe Biden, going from about $5.83 per pound to about $6.50 per pound. Now, Trump could just say that. This is another case where Donald Trump — he has a stat that could work to his purposes if he had just cited it accurately. Instead, it seems like he can’t help himself, he has to extremely exaggerate it, claiming it’s 400% increase instead of, again, the 11.5 increase we actually had."
