Trump: I won on groceries. Very simple word, groceries. Like almost, you know, who uses the word. I started using the

gone grocery shopping or put groceries away. Food just magically appears in my refrigerator.

4 years of him claiming to invent new words.

in the letters "USA". He added that he bet nobody else had ever noticed that. He thinks he's the smartest guy in the world.

By "they" does Trump mean the grocery corporations who give money to Trump? Like the heiress to the Publix supermarket chain in Florida, Julie Fancelli, who offered $3 Million to fund Trump's Jan. 6 rally?

Deport all the farm workers, pickers, graders, washers, boxers, shippers. Then stand back and watch prices skyrocket as food rots before it gets to market.

Same with staughter houses and meat processing plants. Deport all the workers then unable to fill job openings because White folks won't do jobs Hispanics will do. Then stand back and watch prices skyrocket as food rots before it gets to market.

Egg prices, poultry prices, and turkey prices - bird flu has to be resolved. Culling the flocks of diseased birds is the primary driver to high egg and poultry prices. We are on our second wave of bird flu infecting wild birds and domestic food grade eggs and poultry flocks.


Same with construction workers, Restaurant workers, and hotel workers- Deport them all and watch prices skyrocket.

He won both times because of the RWRE's (right wing religious extremists)
period. Also apathy from a third of eligible voters.

Inflation is hard on people barely making ends meet. The bad part is he has no plan and people were stupid voting for him, but we have a lot of stupid people in this country.

That being said, I said on here before that Biden is not doing enough to address food prices and I got nearly banned on here for saying it. Everyone was putting their head in the sand about it.

Idiot voters just preferred Donnie's false narrative instead of the truth in front of their own eyes...

And mark my words, all these Trumpers are going to instantly forget ever complaining about grocery prices the day after Donnie gets sworn in, because it was never a legitimate issue...

Speaking of fake issues, isn't it strange that we haven't heard a single peep from the "FREE GAZA! STOP GENOCIDE!! CEASEFIRE NOOOOOW!!" crowd even though Donnie is much, much worse on the issue? What happened to all those protests?

How can a 78 year old man not know the word grocery? As if we needed more proof of how stupid and ignorant he is, but this is it.

Most winter fruits and vegetables are grown in Mexico and there'll be no one to pick the American grown fruits and vegetables because Trump plans to deport all of the immigrants who pick them. This will shaft all of Trump's maga supporters in their pocket books. I can't wait to see the shocked looks of betrayal on the maga's faces.
