White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller showed up on Fox News Friday evening, just hours after the U.S. Supreme Court handed down a 6-3 decision that invalidated all of Donald Trump’s trade tariffs, and he wasted no time spewing lies and propaganda that immediately got him lit up on social media, with many commenters using facts to counter his misinformation.
Fox host Laura Ingraham interviewed Miller, who claimed “we’ve seen record job growth, record wage growth, and record reshoring of vital manufacturing jobs.”
“President Trump has brought inflation down to 1.4%,” he continued. “As cowardly, as horrendous as the Supreme Court ruling was… we’re going to keep and grow the tariffs to bring back American manufacturing,” because “under IEEPA, the president has authority to restrict, impede, deny, license, or even fully embargo any foreign trade.”
Are there any facts in what Miller declared? Nope. The president does not have such authority. Also, inflation is NOT at 1.4%. Oh, and there hasn’t been record job or wage growth, either.
Let the fact-checking begin!
