PALM BEACH, FLORIDA: In a recent campaign video, former President Donald Trump claimed that there was no inflation in the US and that the country had "no problems" during his presidency, as per OK Magazine.

On Wednesday, September 4, the MAGA leader took to his Truth Social platform, making bold claims about how the world would have been different had he been elected in 2020 instead of President Joe Biden.

"There was no inflation under Trump. We had no problems, the world was safe," Trump said in one of the videos.

In the minute-long video, Donald Trump also asserted that no terrorist attacks occurred during his time in office.

He also stated that during his presidency, Russia did not invade any territory, and an attack on Israel would never have happened, referencing the ongoing Russian invasion of Ukraine and the October 7, 2023, Hamas incursion on Israel.

"Think of it...all of the difference we'd have," Trump continued. "No inflation, no wars, it'd be a much different world right now, a much better world. But that's not the way it is."

During the first two years of Biden's presidency, inflation skyrocketed to over 9% in June 2022, according to Forbes. However, President Biden attributed the economic situation to the Covid-19 pandemic and the Russia-Ukraine war. In comparison, during the first 42 months of Trump's presidency, inflation was at 6%.

The real estate mogul further ripped the current administration, claiming that the US is nearing a "World War III" situation due to the incompetence of its leaders.

He criticized Biden for taking extended vacations in Delaware and California after last month's Democratic National Convention, accusing him of neglecting his presidential duties by spending his time "sleeping" on the beach all day.

"Lies, lies, lies.... You're not even in this reality anymore. Your brain is complete mush. Sad!" a user said.

"We had nothing underneath your administration billions of jobs lost, forced to stay home because you would not admit there was a virus that was out of control. Millions died because of your reckless behavior and then you get all p***y when you weren’t elected and the ring leader in the insurrection, do you know where you can go?" another fumed.

"Oh yeah- millions lost jobs, schools were closed, churches were closed, people died ALONE in hospitals, the supply chains were in chaos and toilet tissue was hard to find. Okay, Donald," read a third reponse.

"Lmao…don’t let that pesky global pandemic get in the way of your false claim!! More revisionist history. Is there anything this monster won’t lie about?" asked a user.

"Right. thousands and thousands dead from covid on your watch while you basically spewed bulls**t theories, self protected, lied and played with yourself. that's 'safe,'" said someone else. [sic]

"Ummmmm. A million people died. We couldn’t get food and were fighting over toilet paper. All thanks to your negligence," an individual chimed in.

"Not true at all!! You f**d up the pandemic response and we are still recovering from your stupid bungle. Plus crime was up under your administration. Lies and fear. Lies and fear," another user wrote.

"We were so far from safe under Trump. I recall how you treated Covid and the ensuing deaths. As I recall, you said, 'It is what it is'. You are despicable," read one remark.
