People Can't Believe Donald Trump's Response To Being Asked About His Plans To Lower Grocery Prices
For those of us who followed the 2024 election, we know that Donald Trump partially ran his 2024 campaign on the promise of lowering grocery prices for everyday Americans.
Here are just a few instances on the campaign trail for reference:
On August 15, Trump held a press conference in New Jersey, where he had a table full of groceries beside him. "Grocery prices have skyrocketed; how can a family afford that? So, when I win, I will immediately bring prices down," Trump said.
On September 23, Trump visited a grocery store in Kittanning, Pennsylvania, and paid for multiple customers' groceries. "We'll do that for you from the White House, alright?" Trump said while waving to the crowd.
And here's Trump saying it loud and clear at a rally on November 4th, 2024, just days before the election:
Even after winning the 2024 election, Trump claimed groceries were the main reason he won. "I won on groceries. A very simple word, groceries," he said in a Meet The Press interview. "I started using the word. The groceries. When you buy apples, when you buy bacon, when you buy eggs, they would double and triple the price over a short period of time."
Now, Trump is going viral for seemingly backtracking on the grocery campaign promise.
In a recent Times Magazine interview, Trump claimed that failing to bring down prices should not mean his presidency was a failure.
In the interview, Trump was directly asked: "If the prices of groceries don't come down, will your presidency be a failure?" To which he responds, "I don't think so. Look, they got them up. I'd like to bring them down," Trump responded. "It's hard to bring things down once they're up. You know, it's very hard."
"But I think that they will. I think that energy is going to bring them down. I think a better supply chain is going to bring them down. You know, the supply chain is still broken. It's broken. You see it. You go out to the docks, and you see all these containers..." Trump continued, veering off into discussing car prices and electric vehicles.
Here's Trump's full response:
