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.

The only thing shocking here is that he's openly admitting he won't keep his promises.

Has he ever truly faced consequences for what he says or does?

[–] [email protected] 40 points 1 week ago

Yes. He was celebrated for it!

Nobody knew health care could be so complicated

— President Trump (February 27, 2017)

I mean if nobody got the message he wasn't going to anything. Being direct this time isn't going to help. Literally didn't even fucking LOCK HER UP like he said he would. Don't even get me started on his tax return, still waiting on that, likely will happen on infrastructure week.

Anything that guy says is just utter shit.

Speaking of his tax returns...

He can now decree to the irs to stop the perpetual audit on his tax returns so he can release them to the eager and deserving american public ... right?

Same with the medical records of his grievous ear injury ...

Wait...does that mean he...does intend to fix prices then?

Is this Opposite Day?

I mean...is this not Opposite Day?

I'm so confused!
