At the launch of a speaking tour intended to connect with Americans struggling with higher prices and stagnant wages, President Trump mocked the word "affordability" and touted how high the stock market had risen.
OMG: The signage behind Trump at his so-called affordability event today reads "LOWER PRICES" and "BIGGER PAYCHECKS"
