Summary
Vice President JD Vance claimed that Donald Trump’s policies will lower grocery prices, but he failed to provide details.
Instead, Vance emphasized vague goals like increasing capital investment and job creation.
Meanwhile, Trump’s recent tariff threats, including a 25% increase on Colombian coffee imports, have driven coffee prices higher, exacerbating grocery costs.
Critics note Trump’s shifting narrative, as he now admits it is “hard to bring things down once they’re up.”
Supporters, however, downplayed price hikes, suggesting cheaper alternatives like instant coffee.
Harris’ plan was to ban price gourging which would put a cap on the price.
Trump doesn’t have a plan to lower food prices.
That’s the difference.
Here’s the thing… As wishful thinking as this sounds… You and I both know this would have instantly been appealed by every major food manufacturer in the entire country and the SCOTUS would overturn it because it defeats the “free enterprise ideals” of capitalism.
