Former President Trump falsely claimed record inflation and low gas prices in a Feb. 4, 2026, interview, which CNN fact-checked and NBC reporter Tom Llamas failed to correct.
In a February 4, 2026, interview, former President Donald Trump made multiple false claims about inflation, gas prices, and the economy, which CNN fact-checked.
Trump falsely stated he inherited the worst inflation in U.S. history, though the highest rate—23.7%—occurred in 1920, and inflation peaked at 9.1% under Biden in 2022.
He also claimed gas prices averaged $1.99 in 2026, but AAA data showed an average of $2.89, with less than 0.02% of stations below $2.
NBC reporter Tom Llamas largely accepted these claims without challenge, responding with “yeah” or “right,” allowing misinformation to go uncorrected.
CNN’s Daniel Dale criticized Llamas for failing to push back on repeated falsehoods, noting only one effective moment of questioning, and emphasized that real-time fact-checking is crucial to maintaining journalistic integrity.
