They're just verbal commitments, and then they explode the numbers by 100% to the upside and the downside, depending on the day.

I mean, that number is...

Totally bogus.

So that's the first thing.

The other thing he said is that foreign countries are paying the tariffs.

Not true.

Multiple studies have been done.

90 to 96% of the tariff burden is falling on U.S.

firms and U.S.

customers.

He said the prices are plummeting downward.

Not true.

Prices have risen nearly 3%.

inflation is going up.

Gas is below $2.30 in most states, $1.99 in some.

Also not true, no state had an average below $2.37, and only two states averaged below $2.50.

Those were sort of the big lies.

So now that we agree, hopefully, that those are not true, let's start with your reaction to the State of the Union.

There should be legal implications for lying about the numbers of the economy during the State of the Union address.

If we have legal implications for Jensen Huang saying the wrong thing, shouldn't that exist for the president?
