I thought prices were coming down day one and this affordability crisis was a hoax?
The big day can’t come fast enough.
I really am living off of rice and beans, and ramen right now. I have a bit of money to make a few meals every week, but most of the time that’s my go too now.
I use to live in a much higher area in terms of cost of living and I use to be able to get so much more food from a premium outlet. In just two years that’s changed.
You mean the billionaire who shits in a golden toilet doesn’t care about them? I’m shocked.
SHOCKED, I tell you.
If the NY Post says it’s bad then it’s a hundred times worse than that.
Thank you Mr. President
I know your rich friends are so much more important than myself.
I’m so happy to go without so they can have even more.
I really wonder if that’s how his followers feel?
That’s the „Trump effect“ for you…
He insists that he’s ushering in the „Golden Age“ of America.
No, he’s ushering in the greatest redistribution of wealth in a generation—a 21st century „gilded age.“
MAGA doesn’t understand the difference because it requires basic knowledge of US history.
To start, Americans have already paid hundreds of BILLIONS more in added costs because of Trump’s tariff policies, and it’s only going to get worse.
Income and wealth disparities are also MOUNTING. Trump is doing nothing to address affordability concerns and rampant economic inequality.
In fact, income inequality has reached a 60-year peak.
The top 1% of stockholders now own more assets than the bottom 99%.
So when Trump brags about the stockmarket, he’s acknowledging that the rich are getting richer while most Americans are struggling to make ends meet.
And while Americans are being squeezed financially from every side, Trump is using taxpayer money for needless foreign wars, personal vanity projects gone awry, billion dollar lawsuits, etc…
The inflation rate climbed to its highest point in three years recently and prices are rising faster than wages.
And now that he’s reignited conflict with Iran, inflation is expected to rise even more.
Trump promised to „bring manufacturing back“ to America, but the US has lost nearly 100,000 manufacturing jobs since Trump returned to office.
Under Biden, the US saw four straight years of job growth, but in 2025 alone, there were five total months of job losses.
And even the mediocre jobs report that the White House was recently bragging about just got quietly revised downward after the latest jobs report revealed worse than expected outcomes.
In the meantime, there are more Americans not working right now than during COVID and the Great Recession.
Trump’s tariffs have also cost the average American family nearly $2,000!
Trump is making housing less affordable for first time buyers, families and renters in favor of serving the interests of the richest homeowners and investors.
American families are paying more for housing, and mortgage rates are expected to rise in response to inflation pressures.
Trump is responsible for the worst global energy crisis in modern history; causing fuel prices to skyrocket alongside the cost of food and other goods and services. Trump’s war also comes with a massive pricetag for the American taxpayer.
The Trump administration has also dramatically increased defense spending, which they plan to offset by cutting funding for domestic programs.
Trump’s tariff policies have passed costs down to consumers and act as a regressive tax for low income, working class Americans and families especially.
Studies even show that without Trump’s tariffs, the inflation rate would have returned to pre-pandemic levels.
Trump’s policies have increased prices while triggering trade wars and retaliation from trade partners.
Trump has caused thousands of farmers to go bankrupt and domestic industries to falter.
Trump has also strained our relationships with trade allies. China is filling the void left by the US and is becoming a more reliable economic ally to other countries.
Trump’s policies were exploding the debt and deficit before the war in Iran even started.
His big beautiful bill extended huge tax breaks and incentives for the rich and corporations at the expense of millions of Americans‘ access to healthcare, food assistance, and the social safety net.
And while Americans are contending with a major affordability crisis, Trump and his family are monetizing the presidency to the tune of BILLIONS, engaging in massive insider enrichment, cryptocurrency scams, bribery, theft, fraud and corruption.
Trump is creating an authoritarian kleptocracy by concentrating financial power and resources into the hands of the few while the rest of us suffer under the economic tyranny of his ruling class regime.
Remember, uneducated country conservatives were manipulated by a New York City billionaire and made this happen.
GOP playbook: Lie through your teeth to get into office, then blame the socialists and democrats for all the problems
Expect them to go higher. Forget gas prices and focus on diesel prices, because diesel is the life blood of America. Then fertilizer prices, because that’s what underpins agricultural production.
Will simply never forgive Trump supporters. The actual dumbest humans to have ever existed.
Don’t worry, all the billionaires just got a tax cut, again. Poor kids don’t get food now. It’ll just trickle down eventually. Give it a few years. Elon musk keeps telling us AI will make us free to do what we want.
Families are paying $3,500 more since Trump took office last year. That’s $310 more for groceries, $695 more for housing, $504 more for gas etc.. and your member of Congress voted to support tariffs over and over and to support the Iran War over and over and to cut health care tax credits over and over to give tax breaks to billionaires. All part of the Republican plan.
Remember when the MAGAs were wining about the price of eggs? Where are those people now?
I’d like to thank everyone that voted for this and or the people that didn’t vote because you didn’t want a woman president
Who could have guessed that tariffs and xenophobia would make food more expensive?
Not shocked.
America is not at all great again. But hey at least Trump had enriched his family and friends with billions, winning right?
It’s more than 33%. For example, at 7 eleven it used to be 2 Monster energy drinks for $4.00. It is now 2 for $8.40. It’s obscene.
“But eggs were above $2!”
I’m so fucking pissed at how quiet the idiots that kept harping on that are right now
I’m paying 10 for stuff that was 5 dollars less than two years ago and it’s a smaller bag… this is just fucked
I’ve been learning to cook with tofu
It’s way cheaper than basically any protein source besides the most rock bottom chicken at this point, and comes without the uncomfortable ethics of said factory meat.
you mean Trump + conservatives shitting on trans people and using them as a scapegoat hasn’t solved any problems??
I will never understand how anyone can be so incompetent to believe anything that orange sh*tstain says.
America is absolutely gone as a nation unless we have a legitimate solution to corporate monopolies. Grocery is so consolidated that collusion is SUPER easy. This is not inflation, this is literal market manipulation and price gouging. Grocery stores are studying the maximum price they can get away with on EVERY single item. Some items have doubled or tripled in price with near zero relation to increased costs.
There’s a simple mode of thinking that cannot result in a society that functions – and that’s the idea that every single thing has to be monetized to the breaking point with absolutely no regard to society or the health and welfare of the people.
If Kroger bought every chain grocery store in America and that was the only choice for many products – they could decide to double prices instantly on every item in the store and people would have no alternative in many situations. This cannot be allowed to happen. We cannot have entire industries with record profits every year from collusion.
Thank you MAGA and Donald Trump for cutting the taxes on Billionaires and taxing normal people through tariffs on luxury goods like food.
Fuck every single person who continues to support this administration, MAGA and the GOP.
You are pedo protectors who hate your own wallet.
THE PRICE OF EGGS OMG!
Anything to say now, Republicans?
Harris ran on attacking price gauging and people said, “she can’t do that, so I’m not going to vote for her.”
Trump ran on raising prices even more and the people said, “well, he can do that, so I guess I’ll vote for him”
It’s a nightmare. I’m making more than I have ever made in my life and yet I’m poorer than I’ve ever been because of healthcare and food prices
Be sure to thank your local Trump voters for this
I’m tired of living in the ‚once in a generation‘ roulette wheel
Remember trump did this
Quick! Somebody check to see who controls the house, senate, presidency and supreme court!
33% increase in food prices and still no real plan to fix it. People are drowning out here.
“No relief in sight” is the most accurate part of this headline. The cost of living is crushing people.
Groceries are becoming a luxury. This is unsustainable for normal families.
They can find money for tax cuts and wars, but somehow can’t stabilize food prices.
Highest spike in 50 years and the response is basically “deal with it.”
People are skipping meals and this administration acts like it’s not a crisis.
When basic food becomes this expensive, something is fundamentally broken.
The working class is getting destroyed by these prices while politicians pretend everything is fine.
You get what you vote for. Remember that next time since you forgot in 2016 and again in 2024.
33% is not inflation – it’s a full-blown cost-of-living emergency.
People can’t keep absorbing these price hikes forever. Something has to give.
