Grocery prices have not budged an inch, not even a smidgen.
Picture this: Donald Trump, standing at his New Jersey golf course last summer, surrounded by a table overflowing with food items. He dramatically declared that grocery prices had “skyrocketed” and vowed to fix it ( Day One) if re-elected. Spoiler alert: he didn’t.
In his first 100 days back in office, Trump has been a busy bee. He’s managed to disrupt the lives of federal workers, condemn migrants to a life behind bars in El Salvador, and even switch sides in the Ukraine war. Oh, and let’s not forget about the trillions lost from retirement accounts and the looming trade-war-induced recession.
Not only have grocery prices been on the rise since Trump took office, but the inflation rate for groceries has hit a two-year high. So much for those promises of cheaper groceries, huh?
To all the Trump supporters who were swayed by his pledge to lower grocery prices, I hate to break it to you, but you’ve been duped. The man has a talent for spinning tall tales, especially when it comes to the most pressing issue for the average voter.
Despite Trump’s recent backtracking on tariffs, the damage has already been done. Brace yourselves for even higher grocery prices as the cost of imported food skyrockets.
Recent polls show that Trump’s approval ratings on the economy are plummeting. Can he talk his way out of this mess? Just take a look at your grocery bill and decide for yourself.
