Grifter Lied About Decreasing Grocery Prices

"Beautiful" tariffs and rampant policy uncertainty revive inflation

Perhaps you recall when Trump promised to bring grocery prices “way down” and “get it done fast” after he became President. (Watch at about 1 minute into this video segment if you don’t believe me.)

I was shocked the other day when I went to buy eggs and about half of the shelf spaces were vacant and the prices were worse than during COVID. A dozen eggs which used to cost around $3 is now selling for between $8-9. Ouch! Waffle House even added a 50 cents per egg surcharge in their restaurants.

Before I go any further, take moment to do a reality check of when you think was the last time Trump actually shopped for groceries like you and I do. Um. Never?

In addition, just as we were starting to believe that inflation was under control a recent study by the Conference Board (relayed in this article in paragraph 4) shows that most Americans expect that inflation will make a return appearance. This is again backed up by The Conference Board who says that “a combination of proposed policies will likely weigh on growth and leave inflation elevated as the year progresses.”

Trump used grocery prices as a major issue against Biden during the election and promised to correct it all if elected.

Promised one thing just to get your support and then did just the opposite. Just like a Grifter.

Is this REALLY what you voted for?
