Trump Backtracks On Campaign Pledge To Bring Down Grocery Prices
www.huffpost.com
The president-elect walked back what was always a wildly unrealistic campaign promise.

Summary

Trump admitted it will be difficult to lower consumer prices, despite campaign promises to reduce grocery, energy, and overall inflation costs.

Trump told Time that achieving price reductions is rare without major economic downturns.

During the campaign, Trump blamed rising costs on Democratic leadership and proposed tariffs as a solution, but economists warn tariffs could raise prices further.

Inflation, a key voter concern, played a significant role in Trump’s election victory, though he has yet to outline a clear plan to deliver on his economic pledges.

    They voted for him because they associated Kamela and Biden with “The Woke!”, that’s it.

    That and just poor reporting from the Media, the Centerists never saw that Center-Outreach nor any of Biden’s accomplishments… I didn’t even know Kamela ate dinner with the Cheneys on a hunting trip as part of the “Look how center we are!” till after the Green Lantern himself John Stewart poiinting it out while reminding everyone that Kamela was never woke.

    They just saw “BIDEN’S LETTING EM IN THROUGH THE BORDER, oh and Trump uhh… prefers white chocolate I guess?”

    The Media treated Trump with kid gloves and ignored anything positive Biden did.

    Now I’m seeing the Media try to say “Luigi Bad, Trans Bad, CEOs Good!”

    Fuck them, Trump was right, they are the enemy of the people. Not because they refused to kiss Trump’s ass, but because they’re the best player on his team.
