he is so enamored with the word "groceries". Acts like he invented the word. He has never shopped for groceries in his life. A real president of the people.
Trump told people that prices were too high. His economic plans are tariffs, which create an inflationary effect on basic items needed those in lower income brackets, and tax cuts for the rich.
He never proposed a plan to reduce prices, and yet people voted for him.
He’s not trying to get reelected- does it matter? His voters seem ok with even higher prices if dear leader says so. I wonder if anyone even values this kind of reporting anymore.
The man is truly just exactly as he is named: a Cheeto: a tasteless puffed up orange bag of wind, lacking substance and quality; and devoid of any value, other than a momentary sensation. He is an orange oil stain on the grubby face of American politics.
“I don’t think so. Look, they got them up. I’d like to bring them down. It’s hard to bring things down once they’re up. You know, it’s very hard. But I think that they will,” Trump said.
We're about to see what presidential inflation looks like when the tariffs hit. Remember the Biden "I did this" stickers that showed up everywhere? We need those for our new Orange Jesus.
It won’t matter by then because calling yet another resigned/disgraced cabinet member “just a coffee boy” will knock inflation report off the front page
He never had any intention of helping the working class. He’s already said, “Groceries, who even says that word? I do it and it won me the election.” To The wilted orange man it’s literally just a word w/o meaning.
He could sell it. He's good at selling shit.
He wouldn't pay his suppliers for it, either, vastly increasing his profits.
Then his disciples would threaten to kill the suppliers.
Take pictures of prices now, especially eggs and things that were talked about often during the election. Those prices WILL go up and there will be pictures to prove they were cheaper under Biden.
They don’t care. They are idiots. Time to give up on them and start to beat them at their own game. Donnie’s 73 IQ is going to take down the whole damn country.
He never had a plan while running. Thanks to the media not bothering to point that out or the voters themselves for finding out what his plan was, he was elected. Kamala actually had a plan. The stupidity of voters is just mind boggling.
You can't bring prices down. The Fed can slow down inflation, which they did. But reduce prices? Gov can't do that. That's market forces and in the days of cartels and monopolies that's not going to happen to any great extent.
He lied to everyone about bringing prices down to get elected now he’s saying prices r going up he’s a dishonest person and bad business man and maga voted for him on a pack of lies
He never intended to. Just wanted people to vote on the issue and blame Biden. Trump couldn’t care less about the average person’s financial situation.
Prices will cease to be an issue as of January 20th. His supporters are less interested in actual outcomes as they are in feeling secure about who is in charge.
Greed is driving grocery prices. God forbid profits fall for companies in the business . Investors are led to believe profits only go up. Greed up and down the chain.
Can American Trump cultists be more honest? There's a shit load of stuff he don't know - including how to be faithful to a single wife, how to stop being a criminal or run a business successfully!
Just because you consume huge amounts of groceries doesn't mean you understand their pricing or how to bring the price down. Do you think Trump has ever bought groceries or so much as buttered a slice of bread?
Reality disagrees with you about Fauci and you mean the fascist felon should ride the coattails of Obama's economy like he did last time? Be better if he shuts the fuck up and do nothing and enjoy the stronger Biden economy which he is going to take credit for anyway. That is till he fucks it up.
Larry goto the other side of town and look up the Biden economy you claim to love. Shop at that "other" grocery store. Then tell me of the great economy.
“Look, they got them up. I’d like to bring them down. It’s hard to bring things down once they’re up. You know, it’s very hard. But I think that they will,” Trump said.

Yeah, and he said in an interview with CBS that grocery prices are probably not gonna go down anytime soon, but that he’ll work on it. He has no idea what he’s doing any he lied to the voters.
And Trump doesn't realize where alot of food is coming from. He is busy being a rude uninformed idiot to Canada and Mexico. Guess where a huge amount of our food comes from! Canada and Mexico. Trump called Trudeau Governor of America's 51st state-Canada!
I don’t think anyone in the Trump regime really know how to do their job.
That leaves them open for Trump blaming them when the American people go against him.
True. The real issue here is these MAGAroons, using JD's 2025 manifesto might bring down our democracy. After all, who really cares about sitting around playing the blame game? It's all a ruse to distract us until it's too late to repair the damage.
Trump and his MAGA congressional supporters cater to and support big corporations and know well that corporate greed is one of the main causes for high food prices. Those big food corporations make big donations to Trump. The solution should be simple.
He will just make shit up as an excuse and the idiots will believe whatever he says so we should brace for inflation. It will hurt MAGATS the most, so that is a little justice.
This should surprise no one, but many will never hear about it due to where they get their information. Right wing media will stop harping on the high cost of goods, and, without prices lowering, inflation will just become a faded memory.
Six months in, when the elderly boomers and loser Gen X alt-right people can’t afford food or gas, they’ll be crying about it and I’ll just be over here like
He doesn’t have to know how to get prices down because he doesn’t care about doing a damn thing that will help average citizens. Ignorant people who are impoverished, financially, educationally, physically & psychologically are easier to control.
Shocking that a moron doesn’t know how to fix a complex issue. Anyone who believed prices were ever coming down is even dumber. If prices start coming down we are in a lot more trouble than eggs being a little more expensive than they were before a pandemic.

All hat; no cattle.
#FAFO
Shock and horror
True; however, the president can influence the economy, tariffs and trade wars will impact everyone badly (Bigly) and can be easily avoided.
Not exactly easy to do, especially in light of Regressives determination to maximize corporate profits.
Backtracking...get used to it
Fuck you Trump, and that festering heap of seeping boils that follow you.
He's a con man that cheats at golf
He couldn't sell Winter coats in Alaska
He couldn't sell water in Death Valley
He wouldn't pay his suppliers for it, either, vastly increasing his profits.
Then his disciples would threaten to kill the suppliers.
It’s why he’s front and center with his “drill baby drill” mantra
He knows if he floods the market, beyond the record US output, the price of gas could come down and help monthly budgets
Problem is the more oil and gas corps drill, the lower the profit
Do republicans ever get tired of being lied to? Do they even recognize it any more?
Oligarchs /Trump get richer
Regular people get poorer
Now back to the dumpster fire of Trump rule…
Ignorant about every acidic thing he spews from his facial orifice.
Ignorant about everything except his ego.
...and not just about inflation.
You don't create Debt

The proposed Trump policies will affect both in different ways and reverse the good results from Bidenomics.
Food prices will be the most sensitive.

Obvs he’ll be calling any second now.
Once again, he will fail BIGLY and make himself out to be a victim. It's his entire life playbook.
He managed to get millions of people to think he can bring prices down when it's never happened before in any substantial way.
Well, in a way that doesn't include some sort of economic implosion that would make the depression look like a stroll in the park.
Prices are not as high as they had been mid-pandemic
They are a little higher than pre-pandemic levels, mostly because of corporate greed disguised as inflation that has yet to be dealt with
He won because 90 million people punished Harris for Biden’s missteps in Gaza
