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.

Fun fact: “trickle down economics” is just rebranded horse and sparrow economics. The idea being that if you overfeed your horse, it won’t digest it all and the sparrow will be able to sift through the horse shit to find bits of food to eat.
I don’t think we get the luxury of it being golden with diaper don.
