We're also heading for a crash because we invested in financial scams rather than infrastructure that would allow us to make groceries cheaper.
But this is just a submarine anti-Trump piece. Everybody knows that groceries are expensive and why. The idea that annualized inflation rising to 2.9% in October when it was 3.0% in January is a huge failure for Trump is silly when he's actively pursuing policies that are expected to raise prices (tariffs and the deportation of workers that have no rights and are paid trash.)
Trump's failure is that he's simultaneously trying to cut the social safety net because he's a dumb libertarian at heart, surrounded by dumb libertarians, who engineer policy to serve their plutocrat sponsors (who aren't dumb libertarians) whims. They convinced him that he could get rid of the enormous number of illegal aliens to create a wage renaissance without spending a dime, but they aren't easy to get rid of. They're here, and they don't have anywhere else to go because we fucked up their countries. In fact, he's still fucking up their countries because he serves the people he golfs with. Even if you warehouse the illegals, all that's doing is keeping them from feeding themselves, and making them an even larger weight on the citizen economy. He even knows that most of them will have to be made citizens. At least the gate is closed for now.
He needs to put price controls on necessities hard, and start doing stimulus checks so hard that it looks like UBI. His goal is to lower the dollar anyway, print a ton of them and don't give them to the wealthiest people in the country who don't spend (or who "spend" on trash like the metaverse and AI being anything like AGI.) By that, I mean be better than Obama. People will forget that you reigned over the completion of a genocide in the holy land, and remember that you saved the West.
