Prescreened question asked at Trump's dancehall gathering: "Like my fellow Americans," the woman said, "my grocery bill has not gone down. Everything is still so very expensive. What steps will your administration take to help American families suffering from this inflation?" Trump's answer? Hold onto your hats, folks.
"So, you know, it's such a great question in the sense that people don't think of grocery. You know, it sounds like not such an important word when you talk about homes and everything else, right? But more people tell me about grocery bills, where the price of bacon, the price of lettuce, the price of tomatoes, they tell me. [1] And we're going to do a lot of things. You know, our farmers aren't being treated properly. And we had a deal with China, and it was a great deal " I never mentioned it because once covid came in, I said, that was a bridge too far because I had a great relationship with President Xi [Jinping]. And he's a fierce man and he's a man that likes China and I understand that. But we had a deal and he was perfect on that deal, $50 billion he was going to buy. [2] We were doing numbers like you wouldn't believe, for the farmer. But the farmers are very badly hurt. The farmers in this country, we're going to get them straightened out. We're going to get your prices down. "But you asked another question about safety and also about Black population jobs and Hispanic population in particular those two. [3] So when millions of people pour into our country, they're having a devastating effect on Black families and Hispanic families more than any others. [4] I think it's going to spread to a lot of other places."
[But wait: THERE'S MORE!]
