Yep, Trump wants people to stop believing the FAKE PRICES they see in the supermarket and instead believe him that prices are falling.
Rep. Keith Self on Newsmax: "If you saw Fox News just recently, groceries, gas, inflation in general is down under President Trump. Now, the mainstream media won't tell you that. But those are the actual numbers. We just have to get the American people understanding."

A UK court has dismissed Icelandic artist Odee’s final appeal to retain a satirical website critiquing fishing giant Samherji’s alleged role in the Fishrot scandal. The work, described as a “living sculpture,” mimicked the company’s site to issue a fake corporate apology.

The artists responsible for last year's poop statue appear to have struck again. This time with a work called “Dictator Approved,” an 8-foot-tall sculpture showing a gold-painted hand with a thumbs-up quashing the sea foam green crown of the Statute of Liberty on the National Mall.
