Trump prepares to slash tariffs on food, in acknowledgment that he lied about grocery prices going down

[Conservative from Georgia]

Donald Trump recently said that grocery prices are down.

some of his followers have gone online spreading misinformation about last year’s Walmart Thanksgiving dinner being cheaper this year (last year’s Thanksgiving dinner had twice as many items).

Further proof that Trump was lying is that he is slashing key food tariffs in order to bring grocery prices down. Obviously, If his policy of tariffs had resulted in a reduction in food prices, he would not have to make this flip flop move.

It’s good that he learns from his mistakes though.

Do you have a credible source for this?

I just read an article the other day that Walmart is quietly lowering prices across the board on a significant number of its products.

Trump Serves a Misleading Thanksgiving Meal Statistic - FactCheck.org

Walmart's 2025 Thanksgiving meal consisting of pre-selected products costs about one-quarter less than last year's meal, but it also includes fewer grocery items and different food brands. Yet President Donald Trump has been misleadingly touting the decline in the price of this year's meal...

By the way, you had zero source for the fake claimed at Walmart is reducing prices in a significant number of items. Here’s one more on Trump‘s Thanksgiving dinner lie.

FACT FOCUS: Trump says Thanksgiving dinner will cost 25% less this year. His numbers are misleading

This is misleading. While Walmart's 2025 meal basket costs about 25% less than the one from 2024, that's because it offers fewer items and different products that make it more affordable.

BTW, I said I had just read it. To debate this, I have no need to spend a hour trying to find it.

I'm pretty sure Trump said he was going to lower prices, but then, big ass government and the media managed to get their lies in as well.

Trump saying he is going to do something and then FAILING to do it is NOT A ******* LIE. It's just failure.

What Trump is doing is keeping up with the ever-changing trade climate as only he can. I can't think of anyone else, certainly no Democrats, who have the energy or the knowledge to do what Trump is doing. Thank God we have him.

When prices go down because he lowered tariffs, he will brag about how only he is able to lower prices.

Picking up the pieces after you throw the monopoly board over doesn't take specialized knowledge.

Trump is a failure when it comes to helping Americans.

But he succeeds at creating a cryptocurrency empire whose purpose is to sell the power of his presidency.

No, I am saying he failed at THIS. You fail at life, so I should call you a liar?

Your notion of helping Americans should land you in jail.
