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.

        Yeah, these zellenials spending all their time eating avocado taquitos on their memory foam mattresses are destroying the economy. In my day, we slept on asbestos and mouse poop mats and we liked it.

      Columbia’s biggest export to the U.S. is crude oil. So oil prices higher from Canada, this would have been higher oil prices from Columbia… But I believe he didn’t do the tarrifs. Guys a dumbass

        Well, we’re only 8 days in. Still plenty of time for him to tariff all of our tits off.
