After Promising To Lower The Price Of Groceries, Trump Now Admits He’s Powerless To Do So

Donald Trump just got caught in yet another lie.

You probably recall that during the recent presidential campaign, Trump repeatedly harped on the price of groceries in U.S. stores, vowing to do something about costs if he was elected.

Now, however, after winning the election by one of the narrowest margins in history, the prevaricating president-elect is admitting that there’s really nothing he can do to alleviate any financial pain Americans are experiencing due to inflation.

Speaking with Time as part of being named the magazine’s “Man of the Year,” Trump noted, “I’d like to bring them down. It’s hard to bring things down once they’re up. You know, it’s very hard. But I think that they will.”

Keep in mind that in August, Trump said exactly the opposite, remarking, “Prices will come down. You just watch: They’ll come down, and they’ll come down fast, not only with insurance, with everything.”

He repeated the lie a month later.

“We will end inflation and make America affordable again, and we’re going to get the prices down, we have to get them down. It’s too much. Groceries, cars, everything. We’re going to get the prices down.”

And then there was this during an October rally in Georgia: “We will cut your taxes and inflation, slash your prices, raise your wages, and bring thousands of factories back to America.”

Trump’s weasely vice president, JD Vance, also joined the lower prices chorus, telling voters in November:

“Kamala Harris broke the private-sector economy, and Donald J. Trump is going to fix it, and of course, whether it’s housing prices, whether it’s mortgage interest rates, whether it’s grocery prices, everything has gotten more expensive under Kamala Harris’ leadership. So again, we have to ask ourselves, do we want a president who broke the economy, broke the border, broke your wallets or do we want a president who has already fixed it and will fix it again.”

Another day, another lie exposed. And the lies are just starting. The next four years will be full of them. When something good happens, Trump will claim credit when he had nothing to do with it. When something bad takes place, it’ll be Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, Chuck Schumer, or the fault of “the left.”

Donald Trump is a human bullshit machine. And he never runs out of fecal matter.
