Summary

Vice President JD Vance claimed that Donald Trump’s policies will lower grocery prices, but he failed to provide details.

Instead, Vance emphasized vague goals like increasing capital investment and job creation.

Meanwhile, Trump’s recent tariff threats, including a 25% increase on Colombian coffee imports, have driven coffee prices higher, exacerbating grocery costs.

Critics note Trump’s shifting narrative, as he now admits it is “hard to bring things down once they’re up.”

Supporters, however, downplayed price hikes, suggesting cheaper alternatives like instant coffee.

    suggesting cheaper alternatives (to coffee) like instant coffee.

    I… I… I can’t even. What do these people think instant coffee is? It’s still fucking coffee. Freeze dryed concentrated coffee. You still need coffee beans to make it. The price hike will still make instant coffee more expensive too. You’re. So. Fucking. Stupid. MAGA.
