Trump has claimed that the U.S. has faced “the worst inflation we’ve ever had.” However, that’s inaccurate – inflation last exceeded 9% in 1981, and has been much higher at various points throughout U.S. history

Trump tends to speak in hyperbole. I don't think the intent is to lie. Just to point out that inflation has been unacceptably high recently. Whether it is the highest or not is irrelevant. Highest inflation in 40+ years is still plenty bad.
I agree that it would be nice if he spoke a little more precisely sometimes but it doesn't really change the message.
