President Trump argued Monday that he’s brought prices down so much that Democrats have stopped using the word, “affordability.”
“They gave us very high prices and then they said the word, ‘affordability’ … that’s the first time I ever heard that,” Trump said at the annual Republican retreat in Miami.“My first day in office, they said, ‘affordability’ … they’re the ones that caused the problem,” he continued. “But we’re really bringing down prices big.

Trump said the GOP message ahead of the midterm elections should be “simple.”
“Democrats created the high prices and our policies are totally ending them,” the president declared.
