In a tweet on June 7, Donald Trump said, “101 utilities cut rates, credit GOP tax cuts.”
Our ruling
Trump tweeted, “101 utilities cut rates, credit GOP tax cuts.”
The list comes from a organization that strongly supported the tax bill. The tally of rate cuts is well-documented, and the group acknowledges that it is not comprehensive.
That said, it’s worth noting that public utility customers will not see the same types of rate cuts cited in the list, which is about one-third of Americans. Trump’s tweet seeks full credit for the tax law, while glossing over the role of energy regulations that mandate that utility savings be passed along to customers.
We rate the statement Mostly True.
