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

Why is it bad for Chinese meat to cost more than American meat?

Your notion of helping Americans should land you in jail.

What an odd thing to say.

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.

We do know they went up 20% during Biden and the democrat's years.

So, when you intentionally give addictive substances or programs that do far more harm than good, why would you think it's an odd thing to say?

You cannot say that it isn't true. Just look at the news and social media on any platform and watch that addicts scream that they're going to starve without government food!

When you are beholden to an entity for your very life, you are indentured to that entity.

Do you consider that compassionate?

I sure don't.

Damn son. I was just talking about policies to lower consumer prices.

Damn son. I was just talking about policies to lower consumer prices.

So, the definition of inflation is too many dollars chasing too few goods.

I'm talking about reducing the government involvement in feeding those who are life dependent on the government to feed them.

It's a red flag and a failure of Democrat policy that 42 million people are indentured to the government for their very lives.

I don't give the GOP a pass on this, as they lacked the moral clarity to find a better solution.

Freedom is a conjecture. We live in double talk. Politicians in favor of one issue and a few years later totally opposite. That is y design and means they are shills. Obama and Joe were easily shills. People are convinced of anything if pushed enough or even forced to change y any other way. What is not shown to the people is the chaos caused. And progressives are of chaos. It is easy to demean Republicans. For Progs are for free stuff that are not free. Look at the Progressive socialist Communist shill Michael Moore with Roger and me. It is the managements' fault that Detroit died with the unions holding the auto companies' hostage every contract as we built larger cars until the first oil crisis and we were shown how fat and lazy we got. Japan showed us they were superior. Detroit and other environs crumbled. The second oil crisis completed the massacre. Michael Moore was the physical representation of our automobile industry.
