    Wait… wasn’t he just giving a “press conference” about how grocery prices have gone up? If not price controls, what will hinder price gouging?

      Only he can do it. With big numbers, the best. I mean low

        Only by giving massive amounts of no-strings-attached government money to Smithfield and ConAgra while lightly scolding them about shrinkflation can we address high grocery costs!

        He will simply tell the companies they have to lower the prices, and they will say “no way” and he will say “way”.

        Problem solved.

      Weren’t you paying attention? He’s not going to use price controls, he’s going to use container size controls.

      It can’t be communist if it’s big!

      We need to De-Woke the agricultural sector. There are too many regulations. Not enough people can keep a cow in their back yard and sell milk to the neighbors.

      Retvrn to Tradition!

        backyard chickens in cities.

        Of course going vegan could also lower prices.

          Sure. But then people will accuse us of being insufferably annoying for knowing the ingredients to a good curry.

          Oh, I think there should be a cow and a chicken hutch in every Trump Towers lobby.

      Tax cuts for the elite. It will trickle down to cheaper groceries. Read the art of the deal already.

      Well, we’re still waiting for the details on that “amazing” healthcare plan him and his team lied about having when they tried to repeal the Affordable Care Act, so I’m sure it’s just around the corner!

      Did he actually say that? I just saw the dumbass holding up two sizes of tic tacs and idiotically proclaiming “tHiS iS iNfLaTioN”.
