"Prices are down under the Trump administration and they're down substantially. We did a great job on groceries and affordability. The only problem is the fake news. You people don't want to report it. They said, oh, I don't want to talk about affordability. The reason I don't want to talk about affordability is because everybody knows that it's far less expensive under Trump than it was under Sleepy Joe Biden."
"Grocery prices are not lower. They are up since August and up since Trump's inauguration. And compared to last September, cost of food has increased 2.7 percent. How about specific groceries, like coffee, which many people are just saying, meat, baked goods, fruits, vegetables, they all cost more. Beef is the only item that Trump has admitted to getting more expensive. And today, he announced that he is asking the Justice Department to investigate meat packing companies for, quote, illicit collusion, price fixing."
President Trump asserted affordability improved and that groceries are substantially cheaper under his administration. CNN presented receipts and data showing grocery prices are higher: prices rose since August and are higher than at the start of Trump's term, with overall food costs up 2.7 percent compared to last September. Specific items such as coffee, meat, baked goods, fruits, and vegetables have increased in price, while beef is singled out as notably more expensive. Trump asked the Justice Department to investigate meatpacking firms for alleged collusion, price fixing, and manipulation. A poll found 62 percent of Americans say food costs are rising, versus 7 percent who say they are falling.
