CNN fact-checker Daniel Dale debunks Trump’s Detroit Economic Club speech, correcting false claims about inflation, grocery prices, tariffs, and prescription-drug costs, and explains using CPI data that inflation has not been defeated and price reductions aren’t achieved by simple math.
President Donald Trump addressed the Detroit Economic Club for about an hour at the MotorCity Casino in Detroit, marking his first Michigan visit in 2026 and his third DEC appearance, with a replay available online. He was set to tour Ford's Dearborn F-150 plant, while more than 100 protesters gathered outside and at least two were arrested. The DEC is a nonpartisan group that has hosted presidents and CEOs for decades; the speech was streamed so wider audiences could view it.
