Trump says slashing grocery prices will be ‘very hard’

I sure hope bird flu is getting better, but since the health agencies have been forbidden from communicating to the public, it's anyone's guess, really.

WOAH!

US reports first outbreak of H5N9 bird flu in poultry​

The United States has reported its first outbreak of H5N9 bird flu in poultry on a duck farm in California, the World Organisation for Animal Health (WOAH) said on Monday.

The strain that has caused most damage in recent years has been H5N1. H5N9 is rarer.

Trump says inflation isn't his No. 1 issue.​

But in Trump's first week back in the White House, there was little in his initial blitz of executive orders that directly tackled those prices, besides directing federal agencies to start “pursuing appropriate actions.” He is taking steps to lower energy costs, something that Trump hopes will have ripple effects throughout the economy.

How it started:
“When you buy apples, when you buy bacon, when you buy eggs, they would double and triple the price over a short period of time,” he told NBC’s “Meet the Press. “And I won an election based on that. We’re going to bring those prices way down.”

How it's going:
“They all said inflation was the No. 1 issue. I said, ‘I disagree,’” Trump said. “I talked about inflation too, but how many times can you say that an apple has doubled in cost?”

...hence the firing of aproximately 17 Inspector Generals.

I'm surprised that wasn't kept a secret.

 

[Say it aint so]

I'm surprised that wasn't kept a secret.

Any DOJ underlings whose job was to work the cases they are assigned, just got fired by Trump.
Simply because they were tasked to investigate him.

One can take what is said for what it's worth. I take in consideration what gets done for the betterment of Americans. In that, there is no comparison.

Well, at least one specific American has benefitted quite well under Trump's administration.

Trump made up to $160 million from foreign countries as president - CREW | Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington

Trump and his company pledged to pause foreign business. They did not.

[RoBo1988]

He has a mouth on him but I have to say I am very pleased with his first week

Yes, I would agree. The previous administration worked hard at delivering the goods, for everyone BUT the American people.
Trump can be a bull in a china shop, but the efforts are for America.

*Mexico paying for border security. *Infrastructure. *Cheaper prescriptions. *New American manufacturing.

You may recognize the above as things that Trump ran on in 2016, but never got done.
What you apparently don't recognize is the above is what Biden got done.
So in other words, Biden got more of Trump's promises than Trump did.
And yes, it was done for the American people.

Biden got Mexico to pay for the wall?

 

[Say it aint so]

Border security, which is far more important than a wall.

Hahahaha, what border security?

pssst..... it has only been six days.

 

[Say it aint so]

Hahahaha, what border security?

WASHINGTON (AP) — Mexican President Andres Manuel López Obrador agreed to spend $1.5 billion over the next two years to improve “smart” border technology during meetings Tuesday with President Joe Biden — a move the White House says shows neighborly cooperation succeeding where Trump administration vows to wall off the border and have Mexico pay for it could not.​

 

[Say it aint so]

pssst..... it has only been six days.

“When I win, I will immediately bring prices down, starting on Day One,” --Trump.​

Seems to me he is not only five days delinquent, prices are increasing rather than going down.

It didn't work

 

[essentialsaltes]

pssst..... it has only been six days.

And he's done nothing.

Nobody sane expected prices to come down immediately. I don't expect them to ever come down (i.e. negative inflation across a broad basket of products).

But he has taken no action to address a problem that he had previously called a Day One problem to start addressing.

 

[Say it aint so]

It didn't work

Drugs come through points of entries, mostly by Americans. Enhanced security technology at points of entries does in fact work.
It was far more beneficial than the con of Mexico paying for a wall, that never happened. And it was far more beneficial than taking 7.2B in allocated military funds and using it to build 80 miles of wall.

Well, you have convinced me - I will never vote for Trump for President again -

I'm still glad I did!

At least you admit he's a failure.

Not in the least. You might, I don’t.
