but in the same clip (https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/trump-hits-back-at-criticism-of-the-economy-under-his-second-administration-we-are-the-victors-on-affordability/vi-AA1Q1QQH, admitted to a positive inflation rate (2%) -- which means only one thing -- prices (on average overall) are higher now than before. That's true for any inflation rate above 0%.
At 0:30 in the video, speaking of inflation:
"We're down to 2%, and we'll be at maybe 1%. You want to always stay above 1%. Actually, you want a little tiny bit of inflation. We're the perfect number."
Again, dipshit, that means prices are rising and, on average, things are more expensive than they were. Not, "far less expensive"
Year-over-year it's 3%, and over the last 3 months it was 3.6% at an annualized rate.

Trump doubles down on the economy despite a strong rebuke from voters, NBC, 11/9/25
“The reason I don’t want to talk about affordability is because everybody knows that it’s far less expensive under Trump than it was under ‘Sleepy Joe Biden,’ and the prices are way down,” he said of his predecessor in remarks to reporters last week.
