New YorkCNN —
President-elect Donald Trump says Americans not being able to afford groceries will be a relic of the past. “They’re going to be affording their groceries very soon,” he said
-----------
“When I win, I will immediately bring prices down, starting on day one,” Trump continued. “We will drill, baby, drill,” he said, referring to increasing domestic oil production. “That’s going to bring down prices of everything.”

“From the day I take the oath of office, we’ll rapidly drive prices down and make America affordable again,” Trump told supporters on the campaign trail in North Carolina, the Washington Post reported. “Prices will come down. You just watch. They’ll come down fast.”

Just weeks before Election Day, Trump promised, “Vote Trump and your incomes will soar. Your net worth will skyrocket. Your energy costs and grocery prices will come tumbling down,” Business Insider reported.

He repeatedly vowed to voters that he would “get the prices down,” “end inflation,” and even “slash your prices.”

and I expect they'll be back down to 99 cents. So I'll buy more then. It will be awesome! Looking forward to all that cheap gas, too.

my local Jewel Osco barely has eggs. Not a problem
for me, I don't like them. But for people who love bacon
or ham & eggs for breakfast, I can't help but feel for them.
Unless of course they voted MAGA. Although, they'll
just blame Biden and the Dems.
