    70% Americans are stressing about rising grocery prices…

    Trump ran on groceries. He said “we won on the word groceries.” He promised Americans would be enjoying lower grocery prices soon after he took office. But nearly 7 months later, not only are Americans not enjoying lower grocery prices, they are still going up… and people are stressed about it.

    Nearly 70% (!) of people polled by a recent Associated Press survey said they have some level of stress about grocery prices. A staggering 53% said they have “major” stress about it. This means nearly 3/4 of the country is financially hurting from grocery prices (!).

    As for Trump, he hasn’t said anything about grocery prices, nor has he offered an explanation as to why prices keep rising despite his promises that they would go down, and despite the fact that every time he is interviewed, he dishonestly says “the prices on everything have come down!”

    I for one have not seen prices drop on anything other than eggs, and even those are still fluctuating. Gas is back up to almost $3.70 a gallon in my town. Good steak runs $15 a pound if you’re lucky. And don’t even get me started about prices for products at Home Depot, such as latex house paint, which runs $47.99 a gallon (!).

    Evidently, Trump doesn’t care about prices. Again it’s not like he has ever gone to a grocery store or even filled his car up with gas. I doubt he’s ever painted a room or even so much as fixed a flat tire. He is the most out of touch president in the history of America.

    But, hey, look on the bright side, at least we’re getting 5 million square-foot data centers on our farmlands that will do nothing other than steal our jobs and ruin our quality of life. Oh, and Skittles, which go for about three dollars a pack now, won’t have food dye in them. MAGA, baby!
