      That was just a silly lie so he could win the election. Nobody really thought he was going to do what he said he was going to do. I only voted for him so he would fix the government (what ever that means) and hurt brown people. /s

    Well Donnie, you know what would help in not raising grocery prices any further?.. Not starting pointless trade wars with our allies and neighbors by needlessly imposing trade tariffs on them. How about you try that.

    To be fair he rarely every talked about the subject. Certainly didn’t mention it on his inauguration. I’m an outsider but from what I’ve seen lowering grocery prices isn’t what America voted for.

      As another outsider, grocery prices seemed to be the main excuse from all of the supposed fence sitters and centrists that cast their votes for him after their supposed careful consideration. I remember a few clips doing the rounds on Reddit of people being interviewed about who they voted for and why. Which seems like a flimsy excuse to me from people that claim to be impartial.

      But yeah, honestly to me it looks like culture war bullshit mainly won this for Trump. There were certain portions of the population that outright said they would never vote for a woman. And from what I gathered, large amounts of gen z, particularly men boys, are so lost to this culture war shit and treat the words of people like Joe Rogan, Jordan Peterson and even Andrew Tate like gospel. That for the first time in history the younger generation swung further right than the next generation up.

      These people can all act shocked and surprised at what they’re getting now but when he wasn’t blabbering about Hannibal Lecter and OJ Simpson, and shuffling around on stage to YMCA, the only coherent message he ever had was bigot nazi shit. So anyone claiming it was about grocery prices or who is acting shocked now, is a fucking liar.

        I certainly remember a few big moments he brought up inflation like the absurdist spectable he put on with the Tic Tac containers for instance. But I think he largely didn’t need to say much because the meme machine had been churning for four years already positioning Biden as some all-powerful (but also senile) evil Marxist who was driving up your gas prices (and then later all the other prices) because reasons.
