The Trump Economy concept didn’t spawn from nothing. In fact, the 78-year-old repeatedly spouted claims that he’d lower the cost of food on Day One of his presidency if elected. (This has not come to pass.)
What’s more, Trump has partially attributed his win to this unseen promise. When speaking to Meet the Press, he said, “I won on groceries. It’s a very simple word, groceries. Like almost, you know, who uses the word. I started using the word, the groceries… I won an election based on that. We’re going to bring those prices way down.”
