Trump Finally Meets A Problem His Lies Cannot Overcome: Rising Grocery Prices

Trump keeps claiming that prices are ‘way down’ — but with food inflation running nearly twice the rate as it was in Biden’s last year, Americans are not fooled.

. . . unlike other of his frequent lies on topics about which most Americans have no first-hand knowledge — for example his claim that other countries pay U.S. tariffs or that he has ended eight wars or that he has already brought in $22 trillion in foreign investments — groceries and how much they cost is a subject that nearly everyone deals with at least once or twice a week.

“I can’t tell you why the president lies, but I can tell you that everything he has said about prices being lower is a lie,” said University of Michigan economist Justin Wolfers. “I’m starting to think that he doesn’t actually care about the cost of living.”

Trump has seemed sensitive to that suggestion, particularly in the days after Republicans were trounced in off-year elections around the country. Voters told pollsters that things were not going well in the economy. Heading into the fall campaigns, more than 80% of Americans reported being stressed by grocery prices, with about half describing it as a cause of “major” stress.

. . . HuffPost tried, both in the afternoon session and the evening dinner, to press him about his grocery prices lie, but he would not engage on the question.

At another point, Trump made the absurd assertion, “We’re taking in hundreds of trillions of dollars,” even though the entire U.S. economy is only about $30 trillion a year.

“I have no insight on why the president says what he says, but tariffs are increasing costs for U.S. consumers, and they will continue to make Americans poorer as long as they remain in effect,” said Erica York, vice president of federal tax policy at the Tax Foundation.

Trump is playing golf in Florida today. Wait until Monday to learn what new and bigger pile of dog poop Trump jumps into next week — maybe sending the Army, rather than the National Guard, into NYNY to overthrow the Communist Mayor? Who knows? Not Trump, at least not yet.
