A lot of people yelling that he's not backtracking, that he's just saying it's hard. Did we not pay attention in 2016? "It's easy, we'll fix it in a day, I'll do it faster than any other president". Then it didn't happen. Then it was hard, then it was in the works, then it was a concept, then it never came. We're just going to have tons of repeats of the same old crap. I'm just waiting for the "who thought ending a war was difficult" quote to drop for Ukraine. (If it doesn't just get handed over on a silver platter on day one)

It thinks it's time we do our own Vandalism campaign similar to their stupid Biden I did that stickers. It clearly worked despite it being braindead.
People are surprised by this?
God this country is so full of idiots.
Trump: hey! I got an idea that could lower those prices and fix our borders...we will bring enough migrants in to be able to plant, care for and harvest our food crops which are not easily automated! In return the migrants may eventually become residents or citizens. We'll have the best migrants only by asking them questions before bringing them in such as...do you work hard or are you hardly working and happy to see me? It will be the best question ever asked of any one. And to the bad Compadres, we will tell them "you're fired" ha ha ha! It will be the best. Best carrots and apples and oranges we have ever tasted...we will also have water desalination plants to water all the crops. And we will donate our surplus to countries like Ukraine who may need support for a while.
Just play along.... If that fuck does even 1% of this we should be so Lucky.
This is what he said:
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.
That's nothing. This article is based on nothing.
I mean, he's the president elect. If you look at the following sentences he thinks energy and supply chain will fix the problem.
The issue is neither of those is going to come down enough to lower prices, and even more poignant is that he is not proposing any plan or strategy to enable those to fix pricing.
Inflation and grocery prices aren't new issues and if he doesn't have a plan now he isn't going to come up with one (lest we be reminded how his Healthcare plans have evolved over 8+ years).
