Trump Backtracks On Campaign Pledge To Bring Down Grocery Prices

It took Joe a few months to turn the nation into turmoil. Tell us what the difference will make from your statement.

No idea what you are babbling about, as usual.

 

[Rawley]

I think it's gonna be a long four years for you and the other tRumplings.

I mean his term hasn't even started and you are already having to make excuses for him.

Imagine 4 years of covering for his failures.

And repeat you whining for the past four years? Not happening

 

[Rawley]

Izzat what you were hoping when you bought yours?

Sent a bottle to all my progressive friends. THey loved it.

So much for voting for Trump because of ‘the economy.’

Trump voters got suckered once again – they’re too stupid to realize it, or too dishonest to admit it.

Must suck going through life believing the majority of Americans, a majority of your neighbors, a majority of your co-workers are stupid liars.

 

[westwall]

Yeah, facts and truth are a bitch.

Both of which are unfamiliar to you.

MAGAts will swallow anything from the Dear Leader.

some prices will fall if the cost of production and shipping is decreased with cheaper fuel prices ..did we expect all prices will drop ? no .. if we did we'd be saying that after he takes office the cost of everything will drop .. did you stand in a loooooong line to vote for Biden during the primaries ? did you believe that he was sharp and energetic like the leftwing Pravda and dem leaders claimed for 4 yrs ..

Remember Trump ran on it's Biden's fault

Ouch

During 2020, U.S. households spent 14.5 percent more money to buy meat for at-home consumption as compared with 2019. This increase in spending reflected both an increase in the amount of meat households bought from retailers to offset reductions in what households previously consumed at restaurants and higher retail food prices.

So we weren't eating out as much. So grocery store chicken is way more expensive now. But Biden actually has it under control. In the last year Kroger has started doing Buy 1 Get 1 on chicken. I won't pay $7 for 3 chicken breast. But I will buy 6 for $7. So I buy 4 packs for $14 and stock up and wait for the next BOGO

i dont give a shit about fucking trump bobo....a 20% raise aint gauging....where was the gauging?

I think it’s going to be a long four years for you.

It's going to be longer for you as you try to justify subhuman Trump's "promises made, promises broken" shitshow.

 

[Clipper]

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

Don't worry. At the rate that he's stuffing McD's cheeseburgs down his yap land whale glutton Trump will be lucky to even be able to walk.

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?

Of course he has to tell the truth now. He won , maybe he thought he didn't have a chance of winning. That's why he made all these impossible promises. He thinks he can actually getaway with this too. Of course he can with his followers. Everyone else knows a con when they hear it.

He knows the faithful will spin for him. They'll be terribly disappointed internally, but you won't see it.

Much more of that on the way. But they can't say anything. They've built their lives around this, and him.

He won. Now it's time for him and his oligarchs to make hay while they can.

They're brainwashed to the point that it's irreversible. The subhuman is only in it for the money, & taking revenge out on anyone who, in his paranoid deranged mind crossed him.

Plus, he gets to fuck over anyone that comes to mind that day, instead of going to prison where he belongs.

What a country.
