Summary
Democratic lawmakers, led by Sen. Elizabeth Warren, criticized Trump for failing to address rising food costs despite campaign promises to lower prices “immediately.”
In a letter, they accused Trump of focusing on mass deportations and January 6 pardons instead of tackling grocery inflation, which rose 1.8% in 2024, with egg prices up 36.8%.
Trump’s administration defended its actions, citing efforts to reduce inflation by cutting energy costs.
Everytime I ask a republican what it is that Trump is doing that will help with prices they say ‘wait and see!’ like he is going to pull some sort of magic trick.
Sounds a lot like “prayers and thoughts”. They are a faith based people after all.
“Now is not the time to talk about
gun violencehigh prices.”/s
Same “Oh there’s a plan, it’s just a long term one.”
I guess that makes sense, afterall, if he de-humanizes enough transpeople all our groceries will become free, that’s just logic! /sarcasm
He has concepts of a long-term plan.
Yeah imagine a plan to fix hyperinflation taking more than eight days to implement.
We did, that’s why we voted for the adult instead of the orange turd that claimed he could fix it in one day. So since we were obviously wrong, and it’s been what, weeks of one days, it seems fair to mention.

For some reason the Republicans voters I know seem to think that their party is going to pass all the regulatory legislation that that Democrats were suggesting.
I just don’t understand them. How did they get this brainwashed? It’s not just frustrating. It’s depressing.
The very second prices come down on their own, with nothing Trump did affecting it, he and his cult will point and say “SEE?!”
These people have no idea what they think. They can only perform loyalty to their ingroup. If it sounds plausible and the right person said it then it must be absolutely true… today. Tomorrow, who knows.
We keep asking what they really believe. It’s a category error. Conservatives do not believe things. Conservatives believe people.
