Trump has failed to decrease grocieries

[1srelluc]

LOL....OP must do all his shopping at the 7-11 and at Micky-Ds via Grub Hub.

I went down town at lunch and got the wife and and myself a very generous sized pulled pork BB-Q on a kaiser roll sandwich, slaw, chips, and a cold drink for $6.00 each.

Biden is not president. You guys fought him tooth and nail.

And groceries are higher. Fact. Trump is a failure.

Biden made a promise he didn't keep so he is a liar. Lol, you guys tried to put Trump in jail for over 700 years and tried to kill him twice.

 

[Blaster]

A really great job of starving children and making the rest of us pay more for groceries.

Bullshit

 

[Woodznutz]

Ever hear of supply and demand? A demand for a low supply item increases the price of that item.

That works both ways.

 

[Independent thinker]

We all knew he was lying.

Trump promised lower grocery prices ‘on Day One.’ Here’s what happened​

He is such a liar, promising things he can't keep, just like the dweebs (jroc and jknowgood and Patriot, come to mind, among others here).

He is such a disappointment.

(NEXSTAR) – Campaigning for office a year ago, standing in front of a table loaded up with bags of flour, cartons of eggs and gallons of milk, President Donald Trump told voters, “When I win, I will immediately bring prices down, starting on Day One.”

Unfortunately for him – and money-strapped Americans – it hasn’t worked out that way.

Nexstar employees around the country tracked a selection of grocery items over the past six months to see if prices would rise, fall or stay the same after Trump took office in January. Our observations, as well as federal data collected by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), show grocery prices overall have remained stubbornly high and even increased slightly.

The overall cost of food at home has ticked up between 0.2% and 0.4% almost every month since January, according to BLS tracking. One exception was in April 2025, when prices went down 0.1% from the month before. All those tiny increases have added up to a 3% increase in food prices year-over-year.

The situation at any given grocery store is more nuanced and varied than the top-line national average would indicate.

Goods that are shelf-stable also turned out to be pretty price-stable at the grocery stores we checked in San Jose, California; Milwaukee, Wisconsin; and Bismarck, North Dakota between January and July of 2025. The price of a box of cookies didn’t change at all over the six-month period.

Totally untrue. I keep track of my expenses in a Quicken program and for a family of four I have spent $1350 less on food this year compared to the same period last year and nothing has changed.

I have been getting most things at Aldi's and local stores and they are cheaper and better than Walmart if you get the right things. Walmart is inflated across the board. \
Okay, right now I'm cussing the Walmart tube hamburger with the yellow tag I got cuz it sucks and I just made 10 tacos with it. And it's tough, and it's dry. Yellow tag got me.
Just say "no" to Walmart hamburger.
It doesn't taste like hamburger should even. That was the 2nd time in 1 year. No more.

Even the upscale store I shop at has lousy ground beef. Too much sinewy shank meat. I use it mostly in a meatloaf, so it gets more tender than frying.

Lying and being wrong are two different things. I always knew that Trump would not be able to immediately pull off some of his goals as fast as he said, even when I voted for him. That's not the point though, because I've come to expect that from all politicians. But Democrats want to spin it like it was a lie. It's not a lie and he really is working towards those things. However corporations are allowed to charge the prices they want for most things. You can't just turn around and tell someone they have to charge 50 cents less for their product.

This really lies in the hands of consumers, and I do believe there are things that Trump could do to enable this and empower consumers and support and influence their choices. The most obvious ways to do that would be to create competition, like small startup endowments for people starting small businesses. Discounts on manufacturing equipment. Tax breaks for the first year in business, etc. We have to create competition for these corporate entities which rule the market and keep prices jacked up to where the middle class just barely tolerates it. This is how the big corps operate. They find the middle class consumers and they play them to find the MAX that Americans can pay without going broke. So the .middle class becomes this small barometer class of people. Just a dial on the console. And in procuring then as such, the supply side with the creme de La creme, and the lower classes with Chinese dollar superstore stuff. The middle class needs to be exalted, not used in this way. If you look at the prices and your average store they are aimed and geared to work in exactly this way. They pushed you down or they pull you up into different price points. In the middle ground is extremely narrow and shallow.

Dementia Riddled *Joes had 21% inflation. He’s the inflation *President.

It’s all about hit counts to run with negative reviews of Trump as if it’s near unanimous. It’s a fraud against Trump and Soros is Not concerned about the monetary benefit .

How do those hit counts from some little message board help them in their objectives?

I hope beef prices kerp going up. Start paying processers a ton more or close up shop. Win win.

Memo for you . . . Trump has broken his groceries promise.

Memo for you . . . Trump has broken his end the Hamas war promise.

Memo for you . . . Trump has broken his end the Ukraine war promise.

Now the Orange Asshole is talking about another presidential run in 2028.

 

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

Memo for you . . . Trump is president, and he is liable for his fuckups.

Biden has nothing to do with any of that, and the voters know that.

Just pay them more. Otherwise itd be wonderful if nobody applied.

Shop around, there are low food prices out there. Prices are influenced more by the market than by Washington. Just boycott high priced foods and watch the prices drop like a rock.

Farmers Markets in my area are showing lower prices for vegetables than Walmart, or grocery stores.

Some groceries are up, some are down and some about the same.

We are talking about Trump making promises he can't keep, nothing else.

He is a Fraud.

No, the fraud is you, Fakey. You are a propagandist in the mold of Goebbels.

You need to find a new grocery store.... you must be being ripped off... don't blame Trump if you choose to go to gouge and sons market.....

Jake is just a propagandist. His entire LIFE is trolling this forum.
