Remember when half his campaign was about bringing down grocery prices and then before even taking office he said he didn't think he could do anything about it
(The other half were all things that would cause grocery prices to go up)
Everyone with at least half a brain knew that based upon the policies he was asserting (tariffs, tax cuts for the rich, etc., etc), and his penchant for corruption, that he was absolutely going to trigger higher prices. Nonetheless, his cult adamantly refused to believe it, and dismissed every reasonable point made about how he was going to make things worse. Now, as things play out exactly as anticipated, his cult just makes up excuses. FWIW, we're only at the very beginning of this debacle, and things are going to get much, much worse.
But but but... I thought he said the economy was booming
Did I promise to bring egg prices down if reelected? Well, that depends on what the definition of "down" is.
-El Taco, probably
But hey, at least the libs were owned, right guys?
