Trump Backtracks On Campaign Pledge To Bring Down Grocery Prices

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?
I have total Trust in Trump not to bring us the 26% inflation that Biden did.
 
Dude! On day one, prices are going to come down. He lied.

He's been saying he has a replacement for Obamacare for 10 years now. Where is it? 2 weeks away every time he's asked.

Drill baby drill, a lie.

Biden did a great fucking job with the economy. Now that the elections over, maybe Trump will admit that too.

We know you voted for Trump
bobo every fucking politician in existence has promised things they couldnt keep....oh thats right,they arent trump....

What were Biden's broken campaign promises? Trump seems to be breaking literally all the ones that would have got a guy like you to vote for him. He will keep his promises to Musk and the Tech Giants. But you, he will break all his promises to you. And you'll take it. You're already making excuses.

You idiots didn't vote for Kamala because you didn't believe her. Well then why the fuck did you vote for Trump if you knew he was blowing smoke up your ass?

I have a prediction: If grocery prices do drop a bit under Trump, you won't say a word about it.

Humm, I don't recall seeing you post any complaints about Biden when food prices rose dramatically soon after he took office. Nope, not one peep from you.
 
i bet you still fucked her didnt you?....
And never argued.

She was the first to confirm that immigrants don’t care about illegals. They’re trying to take from the same resources they take from. It’s classic human behavior. No one likes the community they live in growing. But the farmers didn’t like it when we were the first to move in. We want to cut off the opportunities we got. Or get.

I’m sure 40% of Belarusians like you defend the current president. Who rigged the last election. How do I know?

One was taxing the rich, never did it, had complete control of congress for two years. He knew that taxing the people who paid for his campaigns wouldn't contribute anymore. Knew if he put in the loopholes necessary to do appease them he would be called on it

You don't want to tax the rich so why didn't you love him for it? And maybe that's why his economy was so damn fucking good.

Biden would have let the Trump tax breaks expire next year and he would have given you a real tax break. Not the crumbs that fall from Musk's tax breaks you lap dog. And this would have benefited companies. More money in your pocket means spending. More money in Elon's pocket means he's just got another 1 billion dollars. No biggy to him. He's not going to spend it. Not sure why we are giving guys like that tax breaks. Oh yea, they now run the government. I forgot.

Not one thing you id remotely true His taxing the rich would have been full of loopholes for his rich donors, and would have ended the middle class, the very people they lie about championing. I will say that I have nothing against rich people one gave me my job, self made rich man, started his company in his basement. You simply covet what others have without being to do the work!
