Trump claims US had 'no problems' during his presidency, Internet says 'millions' died under his watch
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.
Biden, who took a two-week vacation after attending the opening night of the DNC, where he endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris, returned to public view only on Labor Day, when he campaigned for the Democratic presidential nominee at a rally in Pittsburgh.
