Trump Backtracks On Campaign Pledge To Bring Down Grocery Prices

[Arlette]

lol. He’s not even in the White House and he’s making excuses for not doing what got him elected.

Next he's telling us he can't bring peace to Ukraine and Israel with just one phone call.

 

[sealybobo]

We’ve been here before

This clearly goes in the category of broken campaign promise number one. What’s next? He said he had a healthcare plan. For 20 years he’s been saying in two weeks he was going to release it.

Does trump think we’re stupid?

Trump called putin 7 times since leaving office. Were those calls before or during the invasion?

 

[1srelluc]

Excuses. Day one!

 

[sealybobo]

You idiots blame democrats not realizing it’s Republican policies that make you broke. And democratic policies help you out.

Reagan, bush trump help Elon not you and Elon.

[Rawley]

Here we go....

4 more years of:

1). TDS claims
2). Excuses for Failed trump Promises
3). Blaming (D) for Everything
4). Corruption from the POTUS at the Highest Level Ever.
5). Political Lawfare.
6). Fake Drill baby Drill claims.

It's such an easy book to read.

You and your cult wrote it. LOL

 

[sealybobo]

A long four years, Lush.

I forgot he can’t run again. Probably won’t make 4.

I thought he was going to die in his sleep the night he won, or lost

Nice doggy.....I suspect your dog is smarter than you.

The Kremlin denied that there were phone calls.

 

[sealybobo]

The rich have gotten richer by sending high paying jobs overseas or hiring illegals. Paying Americans more is going to cost Elon and trump. That ain’t gonna happen.

THey know I’m a liberal.

Omg, one of my arrogant Republican neighbors just told me she may not be able to continue going to Florida for 3 months every year. It’s $4000. I thought she was a hypocrite retired early teacher, divorced, with a lot of money. Now I find out she’s not. So she’s a dumb broke ass who’s living on a pension and doesn’t appreciate teachers in the future won’t get them. Linda McMahon will see to that.

Now the pension isn’t enough. Boo hoo.

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

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.

Trump told Time in an hourlong interview for its “Person of the Year” feature that his presidency wouldn’t be a failure if he failed to bring the price of groceries down.

“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, according to the transcript.

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.

Nevertheless, Trump repeatedly told voters during the campaign that electing him president would cause prices to tumble.

“Prices will come down,” Trump said during a rally in August. “You just watch: They’ll come down, and they’ll come down fast, not only with insurance, with everything.”

“We will end inflation and make America affordable again, and we’re going to get the prices down, we have to get them down,” Trump said at a rally in September. “It’s too much. Groceries, cars, everything. We’re going to get the prices down.”

“We will cut your taxes and inflation, slash your prices, raise your wages and bring thousands of factories back to America,” Trump said at a Georgia rally in October, reciting a line he used in speeches at several other events.

Trump also specifically promised to get gas prices down: “I will cut your energy prices in half within 12 months.”

Trump said during the campaign, and in his Time interview, that cutting regulations would reduce oil prices, which would supposedly drive price reductions everywhere else in the economy. One obstacle to the plan is that it would be up to energy companies, not the government, to ramp up oil production, and doing so would not necessarily be profitable for them. Another obstacle is that oil prices are set by a global market that U.S. doesn’t control.

Nevertheless, the idea that Trump’s election would solve complex economic problems was a core message of the Trump campaign.

Is anyone surprised that Trump is backing down from his campaign promises? What do you think?

How can he backtrack on anything? He's not even president.

This is like Kamala saying she would do all sorts of things if elected when still the VP and having the power to do just that.

Aren’t you just a ray of sunshine.

Aren’t you just a ray of sunshine.

There’s really two Americas. People who make $80k plus a year and people who make less than $50k.

If you’re a couple making $130k that’s cool but people who make less than that should not have kids.

We’re overpopulated anyways
