Trump backtracks on campaign pledge to bring down grocery prices
The president-elect walked back what was always a wildly unrealistic campaign promise.
Summary
Trump admitted it will be difficult to lower consumer prices, despite campaign promises to reduce grocery, energy, and overall inflation costs.
Trump told Time that achieving price reductions is rare without major economic downturns.
During the campaign, Trump blamed rising costs on Democratic leadership and proposed tariffs as a solution, but economists warn tariffs could raise prices further.
Inflation, a key voter concern, played a significant role in Trump’s election victory, though he has yet to outline a clear plan to deliver on his economic pledges.

Trump only took presidency for two reasons:
To not go to jail/be prosecuted.
Fame.
Keep pissing in the wind, to those thinking he'll do even less of a quarter of the things he 'promised' to do. Has the first 4 years with this guy told anyone anything? Dumb Americunts.
Reason #3: To gift as much public and foreign money into his pockets as possible.
Britain's worst mistake by far, and we have many charges to answer. I'm ashamed of my country for creating this monster.
