Excerpt:
Donald Trump made a lot of insane promises during the 2024 presidential campaign that people who were paying attention knew would never come true.
During an August 2024 press conference surrounded by food Trump said, “Grocery prices have skyrocketed. When I win, I will immediately bring prices down, starting on day one. We will drill, baby, drill. That’s going to bring down prices of everything.”
The promise was always gibberish because the oil that is extracted in the United States belongs to the oil companies and is sold on the global market. Factor in the fact that oil companies have an incentive to drill less to keep prices and profits high, and it was clear that oil has nothing to do with the price of groceries.
However, Trump did promise to lower prices on day one.
Fast forward to February where during an interview with Sean Hannity, Trump completely changed his tune on inflation and prices.
