Trump Admits “It’s Hard To Bring Down” Grocery Costs

NBC News reports:

Asked whether his presidency would be a “failure” if grocery prices don’t come down, Trump responded it would not, while blaming the current administration for the way it handled inflation that led to higher food prices in the first place. “Look, they got them up. I’d like to bring them down. It’s hard to bring things down once they’re up. You know, it’s very hard,” he said in the interview published Thursday.

“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,” Trump said. He also did not specify how he would fix any supply chain issues, pivoting instead to complaints about the Biden administration’s incentives for electric vehicles. n fact, experts say Trump’s much-talked-about tariffs proposals would likely exacerbate supply chain woes.
