Trump Promised Lower Food Prices On Day 1, 99 Days Later Has Delivered The Opposite

 

While overall inflation has trended slightly downward since Trump took office, food inflation has not. In fact, not only have grocery prices increased each month since he took office, that inflation rate itself has increased in each of the three months since Trump’s return, so that the inflation rate for groceries is now at its highest point in nearly two years.

Sarah Longwell, a Republican consultant who for years has been conducting focus groups studying Trump’s supporters, said they, too, are noticing. “There is a meaningful slice of Trump voters who voted for Trump specifically because he promised to lower prices on groceries, etc.,” she said. “Many of these voters express frustration that Trump isn’t doing more to lower costs.”

"The all items index rose 2.4 percent for the 12 months ending March, after rising 2.8 percent over the 12 months ending February. The all items less food and energy index rose 2.8 percent over the last 12 months, the smallest 12-month increase since March 2021. The energy index decreased 3.3 percent for the 12 months ending March. The food index increased 3.0 percent over the last year"

So Trumpflation is much lower than Bidenflation. Yet why the weeping and wailing now when the Biden fanbois were silent as inflation went through the roof under their senile king? Makes no sense at all, other than they are not offerring sincere critique.
