Trump tells Time he's not sure he can get the price of groceries down:
"It's hard to bring things down once they're up. You know, it's very hard."

That’s 100% correct. Deflationary pressures are not desirable.
Proper policy should target income growth in excess of cost growth.
This is 101 stuff Sam - keep up.

bud. talk to Trump
“Prices will come down,” Trump told voters during a speech last week laying out his vision for a return to the White House. “You just watch: They’ll come down, and they’ll come down fast, not only with insurance, with everything.”

That’s not what he said at all. Try giving the entire quote instead of clipping it to fit your agenda

Here is the full quote:
Q: If the prices of groceries don't come down, will your presidency be a failure?
"I don't think so. Look, they got them up. I'd like to bring them down. It's hard to bring things down once they're up. You know, it's very hard. But I think that they will. I think that energy is going to bring them down. I think a better supply chain is going to bring them down."

[Quoted tweet]
WATCH: “The root of inflation started with Trump.”
Pretty wild that only @mcuban and a few others talked about Trump’s OPEC 2020 deal getting Saudi Arabia & Russia to cut oil production, and the role it played in spiking gas prices — which spiked inflation for 2 years.
