How the f would he even know what the price is/was/will be?

I remember GHW Bush not knowing the price of a gallon of milk.

During a 1992 debate with Democrat Bill Clinton and Reform Party nominee Ross Perot, “Republican” president George H.W. Bush was forced to admit he didn’t know the cost of a gallon of milk. The media correctly pounced on the incumbent’s failure to answer the question as evidence he was out of touch with the people.

In 2007, “Republican” presidential candidate Rudy Giuliani told a reporter in Alabama that the cost of a gallon of milk was $1.50 – less than half its actual cost at the time.
