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.

    “The way that you lower prices is that you encourage more capital investment into our country,” Vance added.

    This clown hasn’t a clue how the economy works.

      He knows a lot better than the clowns that voted him in. Lowering prices would mean deflation and that’s pretty much universally seen as a bad thing. The best you can do is increase wages. Of which the GOP will do nothing about.
