[evrheel]

Trump says it will be 'hard' to bring down grocery prices, pins hopes on lower energy costs and better supply chains

The pace of food price growth has already slowed dramatically over the past year.

Wait till he finds out we're pumping more oil now, than when he was last president

Can't he just tweet at those grocery stores and tell them to get rid of the Biden inflation???

But I thought Biden told all the grocery stores to raise their prices.

Good. I’m hoping they go way up. Especially meat. $30/lb for ground beef and $15/lb for chicken breast sound like reasonable targets.

Reverse those. I don't eat chicken breasts. And don't be wishing no bad things on wings.

I am sure companies wouldn't blame the higher prices on inflation to just make bigger profits.

Mass deportations and high tariffs will improve the supply chain and lower prices!

I think this is correct in the short run. Oil is already around $70 a barrel. Once the price goes below $62 it's no longer profitable to drill and refine so additional supply will only be so effective.

Guess Trump will need to badger the grocery stores to stop "gouging" the consumer by lowering their 2.2% profit margin.

What additional supply? Supply will decline if the cost of production exceeds the price it can be sold for.

Trump in August:
From the day I take the oath of
office, we'll rapidly drive prices
down, and make America
affordable again. Prices will
come down. You just watch
They'll come down and they'll
come down fast."


Trump now:
"It's hard to bring things down
once they're up. You know, it's
very hard."

No, they would never do that.

Trump voters are so fucking stupid. They should have a permanent hook in their mouth to make it easier to lure their ignorant asses in.

No need to catch them again.

They’re already on the filleting table.
