    That’s not what the headline says, it says “Trump isn’t going to do anything about grocery prices” which is exactly what his statement confirms. He said it’s hard and it’ll probably be fixed by things outside his control, which is explicitly saying he won’t do a damn thing.

      Part of his platform was lowering energy prices - “Drill, Baby, Drill!” He expects grocery prices to go down as a result.

        He had a golden opportunity to make that argument and instead talked about how much property he owned and to talk about a loading dock he drove by.

          It was part of his platform and the part I emphasized shows him referencing it. The author of this article is misleading people with his headline.

            You agree with the president-elect’s assessment that reducing energy costs will result in corporations slashing prices for consumers? Do you just believe him or do you have reason to believe his assessment is accurate

              I’m saying that’s his argument. I don’t know if it’ll work out, but this conversation started because the headline is false.

          My point the whole time has been that the article has a bad headline. If he said something like “We can’t lower prices,” then it’d make sense.
