Summary

Vice President JD Vance claimed that Donald Trump’s policies will lower grocery prices, but he failed to provide details.

Instead, Vance emphasized vague goals like increasing capital investment and job creation.

Meanwhile, Trump’s recent tariff threats, including a 25% increase on Colombian coffee imports, have driven coffee prices higher, exacerbating grocery costs.

Critics note Trump’s shifting narrative, as he now admits it is “hard to bring things down once they’re up.”

Supporters, however, downplayed price hikes, suggesting cheaper alternatives like instant coffee.

    FFS. How many times were the Democrats and others declared “elitist” and “out of touch” when they pointed to ACTUAL indicators of a good economy under Biden?

    Now, when prices jump, they are telling people to drink gawdawful shit like Taster’s Choice? Gosh, that doesn’t sound like mansplaining or paternalistic or elitist or all the other things I was told the Democrats supposedly were being…

    I bet that fucker Kilmeade who I’m sure is being paid millions per year to be stupid on television is not going to be drinking shitty coffee himself. Everyone else can eat cake, though.
