An acceleration of price increases over recent months has coincided with a flurry of tariffs issued by President Donald Trump.
Beef prices soared nearly 15% over the year ending in September, data showed.

Grocery prices are soaring, and Donald Trump is trying to hide that.

Which he can't do because everyone shops.

So he'll fall back to telling people that they are not experiencing what they are experiencing.

And get quite bent out of shape when contradicted further.

I see many more opportunities to deploy the National Guard.

From the cited sub-summary ...

... Question for my Republican colleagues " how the heck does this lower grocery prices? ...

A most excellent question.

imo, a President who actually cared about Americans would be totally involved in negotiating to resolve the shutdown.

But Pres Trump seems to be more concerned with destroying historic American landmarks and building a shrine to himself.
