Regardless of how fickle the voters are, *rump is still a problem. He is the physical manifestation of voter fickleness, he is the embodiment of human stupidity, and he is an utterly corrupted anti-hero who will once again soon hold the reigns of government power in his tiny hands.

Donald Trump admitted in an interview with Time magazine that he likely cannot lower the cost of groceries—a key promise of his campaign that helped him get elected despite the fact that he faced multiple criminal indictments.
"Look, they got them up. I'd like to bring them down. It's hard to bring things down once they're up. You know, it's very hard," Trump said in his rambling and incoherent interview with Time, which is helping to sanitize the felon-elect by giving him its “Person of the Year” award.
Trump went on to spew a bunch of gibberish about ports in Palos Verdes, California, and how fixing the supply chain there will lower grocery costs—at least, it seems like that was his point. His answer is so inarticulate it’s hard to follow.
Buckle up, here’s the rest of his grocery response:
I think a better supply chain is going to bring them down. You know, the supply chain is still broken. It's broken. You see it. You go out to the docks and you see all these containers. And I own property in California, in Palos Verdes. They're very nice. And I passed the docks, and I've been doing it for 20 years. I've never seen anything like it. You know, for 17 years, I saw containers and, you know, they'd come off and they'd be taken away—big areas, you know, you know, in that area, you know, where they have the big, the big ships coming in—big, the port. And I'd see this for years as I was out there inspecting property and things, because they own a lot in California. And I look down and I see containers that are, that are 12, 13, 14 containers. You wouldn't believe they can hold each other. It's like crazy. No, the supply chain is is broken. I think a very bad thing is this, what they're doing with the cars. I think they lost also because of cars. You know, there are a lot of reasons, but the car mandate is a disaster. The electric, the EV mandate.

The title is Promises Made Promises Broken. Has Trump been president for the last 4 years?

With a new benefit, immunity. What could go wrong?
 
Everybody has the right to celebrate something. This should be a fun thread to check on from time to time to see how everyone is doing.

He is fortunate in that his own voters are least likely to believe him. From Doonsebury.

I don't think you'll find many Tren de Aragua in the fields. It'll start with that type.
There aren't 10s of millions of illegal farm workers.

The Huff Post I read only related facts, actual statements by the Felon-elect where he promised one thing and now, when confronted by those promises, also by being quoted, back-tracks. But, go on not believing facts since it must make you more comfortable in justifying your support for the Liar-in-Chief.

Right, HuffPo took quotes and applied their own commentary which wasn't supported by the quotes.
