United States President Donald Trump has made a range of claims about the state of the US economy.

In a long and meandering address to the media on Tuesday, the first year anniversary of his second term as president, Trump’s claims ranged from there being “no inflation” in the US to drug prices being slashed by as much as 600 percent. Most claims were factually inaccurate.
