Trump backtracks on campaign pledge to bring down grocery prices

Summary

Trump admitted it will be difficult to lower consumer prices, despite campaign promises to reduce grocery, energy, and overall inflation costs.

Trump told Time that achieving price reductions is rare without major economic downturns.

During the campaign, Trump blamed rising costs on Democratic leadership and proposed tariffs as a solution, but economists warn tariffs could raise prices further.

Inflation, a key voter concern, played a significant role in Trump’s election victory, though he has yet to outline a clear plan to deliver on his economic pledges.

  • Oh my gosh! Oh my! Trustworthy Trump?! He lied... For political gain?

    I'm sure the people who voted for him would be very upset right now if they could read.

  • It thinks it's time we do our own Vandalism campaign similar to their stupid Biden I did that stickers. It clearly worked despite it being braindead.
