Summary

Vice President JD Vance claimed that Donald Trump’s policies will lower grocery prices, but he failed to provide details.

Instead, Vance emphasized vague goals like increasing capital investment and job creation.

Meanwhile, Trump’s recent tariff threats, including a 25% increase on Colombian coffee imports, have driven coffee prices higher, exacerbating grocery costs.

Critics note Trump’s shifting narrative, as he now admits it is “hard to bring things down once they’re up.”

Supporters, however, downplayed price hikes, suggesting cheaper alternatives like instant coffee.

      Where did I say Starbucks didn’t use beans? I’ll wait…

      I said Starbucks burns their shit. It’s the McDonald’s of coffee. Speed, quantity, and consistency across tens of thousands of locations worldwide at the lowest cost possible; quality is not a primary factor. It’s why their business is focused around hiding the crap coffee with milk and syrup.

          You really shouldn’t call out someone’s intelligence if you can’t spell the country’s name correctly.
