1 yYou can't be that dumb! Everytime that lying, thieving, ugly smile pile of dogshit opens his mouth it's either a total lie and all bullshit. On one hand I am very nervous about the next couple of years, but also smiling and I am waiting for these MAGA cult followers when the cost of everything except their paychecks goes up and up until it's almost unaffordable. We have the guy who can do it now.

TDS is alive and well. If Trump cured cancer, you would complain about all the people he put out of work. Fortunately bleating like a goat will accomplish nothing. Best to just brace yourself and duck.

Anonymous(25-29)1 yHe will breaking most of them. He just said whatever he had to say. It was obvious because any time anyone asked him HOW he would actually do this stuff, he had zero clue. That's why we got such great lines like having a "concept of a plan" EIGHT years after he first tried to get rid of Obamacare. He still doesn't know how literally anything works.

Lowering grocery prices would depend on more truckers wanting to work with less restrictions, more pay, and lower overhead for one. Maybe removing DEF and rolling back to high sulfur diesel would work too, but no way that would fly. It would require all new equipment as well.(maybe trains and boats could run it)
Stores operating with less loss. In whatever capacity that would lower prices.
Also more phosphates to increase crop yields, more wheat, corn, feed, not so many places to mine more of it though. China is currently in the lead for exporting it, we're number three.
A lot of things people hope Trump can get accomplished would take far more than four years, or simply cannot be done by the president. Also the things he can push for Democrats and his own party will resist, just like his first term.
Look at your own two hands first. You can set up an herb garden or chicken coop about anywhere, maybe some tomatoes too. That'll lower grocery prices.
00 Reply1.9K opinions shared on Society & Politics topic. This entire question is based on a false premise to begin with. Trump didn't promise to lower grocery store prices. If you believe otherwise, show us a source of the quote. I won't hold my breath.
Whay he HAS talked about are policies to help lower the COSTS for farming. Energy (petroleum) costs are the biggest reason for the high cost of food. It affects the cost of fertilizer, the cost of buying and operating heavy equipment (tractors and harvesters), every kind of supplies, and the costs to transport the food to market. And energy costs are up as a direct result of Biden's policies. That is something Trump CAN do something about.
Fixing energy prices are likely to cause some price reductions eventually, but of course they are not going to go down to pre-Biden levels because we've had 4 years of inflation since then.
The cost of food is a complex and many-layered equation, but addressing one or more of the biggest variables will certainly help. That said, it's not like Trump can make a phone call and have prices lowered 20% on January 20th. Instead, he's correcting a foundational problem that will eventually lower grocery prices at the store. That's the right way to handle such issues.
And this is something Biden could have done at any time - he could do it today - but he won't. He doesn't care what groceries cost you and he never did. His interest has always been to maximize the value of his own stocks and those of his close friends. The Biden family has big oil investments in foreign countries, and the way to keep their values high is to reduce domestic oil production in the US - which is exactly what he did his first day in office. But you don't want to talk about that, right?49 Reply- 1 y
Since you asked, he did mention it in his press conference and bringing down grocery prices was an important part of his platform hence why he even bothered to put up a bunch of products as props for this press conference.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YlV1vL80v3M
Around 45 minutes I believe.
Also if you want to talk about the cost of energy then you should probably mention how its a global market which means that other countries, like OPEC, is able to manipulate the price of energy in USA which becomes a national security concern as long as you rely on oil and gas.
Green energy is not only cheaper but also makes your country energy independent as opposed to being exposed to the cost of oil on the open markets. - 1 y
@syntosisi The US was oil-independent when Trump left office - the very first thing Biden did, literally his first day in office, was to sign a bunch of Executive Orders, one that killed the Keystone pipeline (which didn't reduce the use of oil, it simply meant that the oil would continue to have to move by train, which is more expensive, less reliable, and more likely to cause environmental problems), banning fracking in many areas, and canceling oil leases - all things designed to force the US to buy foreign oil again, which increased the share prices of his foreign oil stocks.
Trump fully supports green energy, but green energy has significant limitations right now. Green energy is organically expanding - costs for wind and solar are coming down - but these are not 365-day-a-year solutions in most of the country. And we don't have electric tractors, and barely have electric big-rigs - these technologies are still in their infancy, though I believe they will eventually take over organically, because they'll be a superior option. That's not today, though. - 1 y
There is no such thing as "oil independent" in an open market. As long as you allow domestic production to be sold internationally then you will compete with other countries for the supply of your own products. Its easy to sell petrol and oil abroad through oil tankers and pipelines which means that USA will always be in a bidding war with the rest of the world for the oil it digs up itself. On the other hand, electricity is difficult to transport and sell which means it has to be used relatively locally to where it is produced. That is why green energy makes you energy independent as compared to oil.
Regarding technology and the development of it, you really want to be the one pushing this new frontier. China has already jumped on the new development and gotten a basic monopoly on the components used in green energy and electric motors. That means they will be the ones who can profit from its world wide adoption where as USA will have to pay China for its own ticket to modern electricity generation. Putting aside how relying on other countries to develop the technology for you means they will have power over you, it also means that technology will be slower to develop.
There is a reason why batteries are such a massive piece of garbage. The technology behind it has been stagnate since oil began to boom due to the low amount of investment. We could have had these electric cars which is built today by like 1980 if we wanted to. Instead we poured in basically infinite money into perfecting a technology that is now by all rights obsolete. - 1 y
I have no doubt that both are true: prices will go down and will be closer to their relative prices from 4 years ago.
Biden's policies hurt farmers in several ways and exactly nothing was done to help, and that's going to be reversed. You can't harm farming and not have consumers pay the price for it at the grocery store. - 1 y
The hell they haven't! Farmers have been complaining since Biden took office, and if you got your news from someplace other than CNN or MSNBC you would have seen those stories. Biden's energy policies have hurt them as well has regulations on fertilizer and on farm equipment. You need to get outside your bubble and find out what's going on in the world that the legacy media won't cover because it goes against the narrative. Why do you think they are going bankrupt and have lots 75% of their viewers? People no longer trust them because the only story they have ran for the last 8 years is "Orange Man Bad." They would never run a story that made Biden look bad, at least, not until the election, which was a huge slap in the face for them. You can't spin a total victory.
- 1 y
Farmers are always complaining, that is nothing new. And no, I do not watch legacy media at all. My TV is strictly for games and movies these days.
Also: www.fsa.usda.gov/.../biden-harris-administration-makes-500-million-available-increase
And if you have heard of farmers winning the right to repair their own farming equipment like tractors, that was Biden signing an executive order back in 2021. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Executive_Order_14036
As someone who supposedly listens a lot to the grievances of farmers I am surprised you did not account for reality.
Anonymous(30-35)1 yWhen are people going to wake up: to Republican supporters and Democrat supporters, your politicians have lied to you, your politicians have deceived you, your politicians gave the green light to invade countries in the Middle East, cause genocide on people and then label Muslims as terrorists and Islam as evil?
The axis of evil is the 3 headed snake - United States, Saudi Arabia and Israel — their political extremist ideologies Wahabbism, Imperialism and Zionism. Once world war 3 happens and the next big economic crash hits, maybe then all y’all will realize you’ve been wasting your time going to the ballot box 🗳️ and voting for a criminal in a suit playing the public like marionettes while bending over a sucking off the rich elites like the Rothschilds. Evil scum deserve to go to hell for eternity they are the cause of evil and destruction in this world and causing division.
Imagine if we lived in a financially robust, healthy, good world where the rich organizations and people don’t rape your wallet but I can’t say that because living in the west I have to be a corporate stooge, give my allegiance to capitalism and view a politician like they are God…give me a break. Trump won’t fix s**t and Biden and past president were just as stupid and manipulators as Trump was…but y’all won’t wake up so keep being lied to.
00 Reply3.3K opinions shared on Society & Politics topic. I am sure that everyone knows the root cause of high grocery prices. Would you believe energy? Just in case you don’t know.
Can anyone tell me how much fertilizer and seed costs have gone up for the farmers? How much new tractors cost. How much the cost of fuel has increased for farmers, truck drivers and railroads.
How little profits the farmers make as compared to the processors.
If you remember. This all started when the artificial fuel shortage was created by Biden! Trump can’t throw the switch and undo four years of incompetence over night!413 Reply- 1 y
The root cause is that the technology of farming has stagnated and as such has become probably the most inefficient industry in any developed country. While yes, it takes a lit of energy to farm but it also takes a lot of land, water, work etc.. And the produce that you get in return is not that valuable.
Without a breakthrough in farming technology it is basically a dead industry that is not worth the time to do inside a developed country and better outsourced to 3rd world countries. - 1 y
Why do I think this way? Cold hard economics. If something is not profitable then you should have someone else do it for you and just buy their services or products. Mexico for example is perfectly capable of farming for USA which will allow Americans to work in professions that is more profitable. This will massively boost the GDP and the average wage.
Also, if you buy your food on the international market rather than produce it yourself then you get to pick and choose what you buy. If you want to buy bugs then you can buy bugs. More realistically you are probably going to see meat, grain, vegetables and fruit like normal though. - 1 y
@Syntosi You can eat your Cold Hard Economics. I’ll eat the food that is grown here in the United States. Unfortunately, the imported foods that you speak of. Doesn’t get the scrutiny that the FDA and other government agencies give our farmers. That is what helps drive up the cost of food.
My thoughts are. If you can’t feed yourself and rely upon others to eat. Then you are in sorry shape. - 1 y
It is entirely within the capability of the government to scrutinize any food that is imported. Any lacking in controls or standards is entirely by choice so its not a particularly strong argument. That said, the food standard in USA is not particularly great either so not sure Mexico would even be a downgrade.
And your thoughts is not aligned with the ideals of capitalism. It is not going to give you the cheapest foods nor the highest quality and it will come with additional costs aside from just paying more money. If that is the path that you want to take then fine, but do not complain about things like grocery prices afterwards. - 1 y
Historically speaking, a lot of countries have crumbled because they tried to rely on domestic food production where as others have thrived because they can just buy their food from somewhere else if there is a problem. But that is sort of besides the point. You are trying to apply human attributes to countries and view USA as a self reliant man or some such nonsense. Suffice to say, that is not how things works in reality.
- 1 y
@Syntosi Name the countries that crumbled. Fifty years ago in this country. Each family farm was pretty much self sufficient. Outside of fuel. I was raised on one of them.
So if you care to rely on another country to feed you. So be it. I’ll still support the American farmer and put my own seeds in the soil. - 1 y
The soviet union for one. While there were many reasons for its collapse, one major reason was the cost of domestic food going up.
As for the self sufficient family farms you are thinking of, they are worthless to the economy. Having you and your family living happily out in the middle of nowhere does not mean you are meaningfully contributing anything to the nation. The economy is the transfer of goods and services, the less you need other people or their products the less you engage with the economy.
From the viewpoint of a strong economy having someone be self-sufficient is terrible because that means they won't buy products and services. USAs economy is booming because the average American is buying things like crazy using money they dont even have. It might not be a healthy thing in your eyes but the alternative is basically being a 3rd world country. - 1 y
@Syntosi Buying things like crazy from countries that uses child and slave labor. That have corrupt government and the people have no say.
As I see this. You are all about the money and I am about survival. So, I am done with this post. Hope you enjoy eating filthy money and I’ll prefer to eat the food that is grown in this country!
If he reduced regulation of the oil industry, transportation costs drop, mining costs for certain fertilizers drop, natural gas prices drop which reduced nitrogen fertilizer production costs, and so on. I'm pretty sure he wants to drill baby drill... Biden in contrast put regulation on fertilizer shipments by train (which is the way they are shipped) to cut production by 20%. If those regulations are overturned, then fertilizer ships get back up to normal rates again and farmers produce larger crops. If interest rates are brought down, especially on farm loans, then cost of production will again drop. Policy during Biden boosted those rates and show preferential treatment toward minority farmers hurting large farms that are necessary for food stability. Being that Biden wasn't legitimately President, fraud vitiates everything and thus much of the damage Biden has done should policy wise be easy to overturn, but time wise it takes a bit to turn the ship...

1 yBecause the fantasy that the US government and political policy influence pricing in any great degree or ever to citizen benefit is grift and a illusion by both sides. The fact that Trump made it a big deal was an election strategy. Which worked and he knows his most ardent supporters have no stomach to hold him accountable for anything he says. The less ardent supporters have the memory of a fruit fly and quickly are distracted. So him backing off per se is just another in the infinity of broken political promises. He is just more open about it because he doesn't care about anyone but himself.

He cannot lower grocery prices without deflation and fed isn't allowing that. He is trying... and may succeed in bringing markets down, but it isn't the main priority. If anything, prices likely increase due to tariffs. it's a balancing act of priorities.
