re: Trump needs to wise up on affordability issues

I paid $2.25 per gallon last night to fill up my truck. One year ago, I was paying over $3.00 per gallon. Prices for staples will come down now that energy costs are lowering. Trump has and is delivering on his promises.

I'm paying far less on groceries, for the same number of people, than I was last year. That's how I define it.
You aren't buying anything in a box. Anything in a box goes for a minimum of five bucks.

I did notice the small avocados I like to get went from 33 cents to 59 cents at HEB but that's one item that is specific to my weekly shopping list.

He was a tour guide. He has no clue what he is talking about. Hubris from a place of complete ignorance is his MO.

I checked about 40 random items not on my list.
This may shock the very average people who post here, but you can easily do this online yourself weekly

I can tell most your MFr's don't shop at the grocery store.
Groceries are f-ing out of sight, and Trump needs to shut his cock-holster.

One thing I notice no one mentioning is Trump lowered your taxes.
For all those young folks that work in the service industry you no longer are taxed on your credit card tips or any cash tips you were claiming.
Imagine having to pay higher taxes right now.

I like Tuna. Pre biden i could get off brand tuna pouches for $1.00 and the name brand for $1.25.
These items moved to $1.50 and $1.75 under biden. They are now back to $1.25 and $1.50 under Trump.
Average gas price is currently around $3. It was $5 under Biden.

Curious as to what Trump has specifically done to lower gasoline prices?

He was quoting the fricking CEO of Walmart
He was, but he has to be smarter.
He has a lot of people on the payroll who are supposed to be fact checking things before he discusses it.
Mentioning the drop in cost without someone noticing less items are included is low hanging fruit that would easily be found and pointed out by the left.
It’s an unforced injury. Might only be a flesh wound, but those add up.

Everything continues to go up squeezing working Americans
Trump continues to do Israel’s bidding and worry about issues in South America.
Neocon agenda first. America last.

How do you lower prices in a consumer economy without a recession/depression?
