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.
I don’t think we need a headline or a news story to know this … nothing he says means anything. The next four years is just going to be a never ending parade of bad faith, anger and anxiety.
I just hope it’s only 4 years.
I’m hoping he dies in less than that.
Then we get Just Dumb Vance and the christian taliban as our overlords. An even worse cult.
Vance doesn’t have the same cult of personality that Trump has. With him in charge I suspect the infighting would make it impossible for them to get anything done.
As long as you’re going to hope, hope they all die.
I think this is just his handlers and the media setting up a backstory so that, when people start complaining about prices not coming down, their side have something to point back to to say, “Hey, no, we told you it was an issue!”
