Trump Backtracks On Campaign Pledge To Bring Down Grocery Prices.

[0311]

President-elect Donald Trump admitted in an interview with Time magazine that it will be difficult for him to reduce consumer prices, contrary to statements he made on the campaign trail this year.
“It’s hard to bring things down once they’re up,” Trump told Time in an hourlong interview for its “Person of the Year” feature. “You know, it’s very hard.”

The president-elect walked back what was always a wildly unrealistic campaign promise.

Trump is right that it’s very hard to achieve across-the-board price reductions. Curbing inflation is only a matter of slowing the rate of price increases — actual economy-wide price drops typically don’t happen outside of a massive economic downturn.

Given that The Fed plans to cut another 25 basis-points after hitting a four-month inflation "wall" due to their ill-advised 50 basis-point cut....Yeah, it will be a tougher nut to crack.

Wages will just have to catch up to prices.

Trump fesses up... after he wins.

He is such a little orange bitch.

Just on Sunday meet the press interview, he said the opposite?

He speaks with a forked tongue, just like The Serpent of Old.


"When you buy apples, when you buy bacon, when you buy eggs, they would double and triple the price over a short period of time, and I won an election based on that. We’re going to bring those prices way down." Donald Trump

There's no way Trump ever planned on making across the board cuts.

But he will stop the BS that Biden was doing to cause inflation......and eventually prices will stabilize, and even some of them will come down.

He's just hedging, not confessing.

As Trump deports more and more illegals the cost of groceries should drop since the "demand" for groceries would drop, as well as the number of migrants getting free groceries would drop.
Homan seems motivated to deport the first 2m in year one, the other 8m or so will take years.

supply drops due to less farm workers.

When it comes to grocery prices, Trump suddenly changes his tune

Is Donald Trump going to succeed in lowering grocery prices? In successive weeks, the president-elect answered the question in two very different ways.

I know Trumpkins hate MSNBC as much as I hate Fox News, but at least read the 4th paragraph, Trump's outlandish statement. Make a note of it, record the date. We know he'll say anything, but this takes the cake. He plans to deport a large portion of the workers in the food industry, suffer no shortages, raise tariffs on Mexico and reduce the prices of groceries. Get real!

He is the one responsible for high prices in the first place with his aggressive mismanagement of the COVID epidemic. And, his planned tariffs and deportations will just magnify the problem he created.

Bigly!!!

So Trumpy doesn't know how to lower inflation.

As supplies diminish prices increases. Just higher pay for new workers will be past on to consumers in form of price increases.

He doesn't have a clue. His tariff's will kill the economy just it did last time. His tax cuts to the rich will at least $1T to the National Debt as well.

So Trumpy doesn't know how to lower inflation.

Just think of what the MAGA's would saying right now if Joe Biden had admitted the same thing. Like gas prices, the President has almost zero control over the cost of groceries, just he has almost zero control over the price of gas.

Nope, supply was just fine before Biden
Those living in fancy hotels and getting free food ain't picking fruit.

 

[drudge X]

Will leftists say it's the Biden economy if prices come down?
