Trump Finally Meets A Problem His Lies Cannot Overcome: Rising Grocery Prices

Trump keeps claiming that prices are ‘way down’ — but with food inflation running nearly twice the rate as it was in Biden’s last year, Americans are not fooled.

By S.V. Date | Nov 8, 2025, 08:00 AM EST

https://www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-grocery-lies_n_690e4e2ee4b0dd4ea7
5b830a


. . . unlike other of his frequent lies on topics about which most Americans have no first-hand knowledge — for example his claim that other countries pay U.S. tariffs or that he has ended eight wars or that he has already brought in $22 trillion in foreign investments — groceries and how much they cost is a subject that nearly everyone deals with at least once or twice a week.

“I can’t tell you why the president lies, but I can tell you that everything he has said about prices being lower is a lie,” said University of Michigan economist Justin Wolfers. “I’m starting to think that he doesn’t actually care about the cost of living.”

Trump has seemed sensitive to that suggestion, particularly in the days after Republicans were trounced in off-year elections around the country. Voters told pollsters that things were not going well in the economy. Heading into the fall campaigns, more than 80% of Americans reported being stressed by grocery prices, with about half describing it as a cause of “major” stress.

. . . HuffPost tried, both in the afternoon session and the evening dinner, to press him about his grocery prices lie, but he would not engage on the question.

At another point, Trump made the absurd assertion, “We’re taking in hundreds of trillions of dollars,” even though the entire U.S. economy is only about $30 trillion a year.

“I have no insight on why the president says what he says, but tariffs are increasing costs for U.S. consumers, and they will continue to make Americans poorer as long as they remain in effect,” said Erica York, vice president of federal tax policy at the Tax Foundation.

Trump’s lame duck era has begun

https://www.politico.com/news/2025/11/06/donald-trump-lame-duck-006393

Hours after witnessing his party’s worst electoral drubbing in at least six years, President Donald Trump hosted Senate Republicans at the White House and demanded they ditch their chamber’s supermajority rules.

“If you don’t terminate the filibuster, you’ll be in bad shape,” he told them over breakfast in the State Dining Room.

It was classic Trump dominance theater, like many other occasions this year where he successfully muscled recalcitrant Republicans to confirm controversial nominees, support divisive policies and enact sweeping domestic policy legislation.

But upon returning to the Capitol, the senators made it very clear: They planned to blow Trump off. One GOP senator, Mike Rounds of South Dakota, laughed out loud when asked about the anti-filibuster push.

Welcome to the dawn of Trump’s lame duck era.

I listened to you two stupid fuckers say you wanted the filibuster removed when your meat popsicle president was in charge.

Yeah...

How the hell are we supposed to fix anything when we've got boomer seniors referring to their huge social security checks that they don't need as their "boat money".

The only person I've ever known that didn't accept ANY of the freebies was my grandma. Several years during covid and back when GWB cut those stimulus checks I told my grandma that I could do her taxes for her those years and since they were credits that every American adult were entitled to that she was just leaving money on the table. I couldn't even get her to do it when I was pushing hard about inflation and how she'd really just be hedging against the inflation the freebies were going to cause. She wasn't stupid. She already knew this. But saying no to the money was her silent protest against these inflationary actions.

I can't say that it was a smart thing to do. But I do respect her integrity. She lived a meager life and left a decent chunk of change to her kids when she passed, despite not taking any of those stimulus checks. She wouldn't have done anything nice for herself with that money. It would have gone to her kids, and 2 of the 3 of them would have blown it on something stupid.



After I pay my montly/yearly bills, all money to me is free time. That's more valuable than nearly anything else I can do with it. When I run out of money it's back to work for more. I'm just glad that I'll be making a lot more this time to keep up with the inflation. That's another side-benefit to making nothing and living off of nothing. The people making the very least have seen the largest bumps in pay over the last 6 years.

*I mean, besides the 1%'ers who really made bank and fucked all of us in the 2020s, but that's another story...

First off, James, I don't believe your prediction today is any more relevant than your prediction for the 2024 election. Just more wishful thinking.

That being said, you SHUT THE FUCK UP.

You might not care if the filibuster comes to an end since you're about 6 months away from dying, but everybody else will have to live the rest of their lives on a political rollercoaster if it happens.

It's dipshits like you that are going to drive enough moderate Democrat support to help Trump actually officially put an end to the only thing protecting us from people like you.

Interesting take on Trump's descent into hubris, and it begins with a powerful description of hubris ... and how Trump checks all the boxes.

Barnes notes that all of Trump's foreign policy disasters started right after Epstein allegations bubbled up again.

He describes how Trump's support of genocidal Israel is splitting the MAGA base, and how any advisor, even low level, who pushes back on that support is excised from government.

He lays fault primarily on

"Swampy" Susie Wiles, Trump's Chief of Staff, who always shepherds in corporate donors but leaves Trump's base out in the cold,

Scotty "Soros" Bessent, who is close to Alex Soros and who is constantly feeding Trump misinformation about the Russian economy (on the verge of collapse), China (wont play the "rare earth" card) and tariffs (the Supreme Court will find in your favor), who neutered DOGE before it could get to the Federal Reserve and IRS reform

"Narco" Marco Rubio, who is constantly pushing the neocon line, and who occupies both State Dept and National Security Advisor posts, a position where he, too, can feed false info to Trump.

He blames Trump for appointing them and, worse, listening to them because they feed into Trump's hubris.


According to Barnes, this past election was a MAGA disaster, not because Dems took top line elections but because anger against Trump ran so deep it showed in elections all the way down to dog catcher. A giant repudiation of Trumpism by both MAGA bases and by everyone making less than 100K.

Trump has good faith advisors

JD Vance

Tulsi Gabbard

Robert Kennedy

Elbridge Colby

What Trump could do to turn the ship around: about 1:28:00

Barnes names names, names court cases, names decisions. He's IMHO hard to listen to, a bit like "drinking from a fire hose" but very real-world and based on specific facts.

Friday Night Meltdown: Trump Yanks MTG Endorsement, Mocks Massie's Remarriage After Wife's Death

Saturday, Nov 15, 2025 - 04:35 AM

Capping a week in which he faced a coordinated blitz by Democrats and allied journalists working to implicate him in the crimes of Jeffrey Epstein, President Trump had a social media meltdown Friday night, lashing out at two GOP representatives who both enjoy deep national support among conservatives. Trump withdrew his endorsement of one and stooped to ridiculing the other for re-marrying 15 months after the death of his wife. It's likely no coincidence that both reps -- Marjorie Taylor Greene and Thomas Massie -- were among four Republicans who signed a discharge petition to force a floor vote on a bill that would compel the DOJ to release all its Epstein files. Trump and GOP leaders on Capitol Hill have opposed that effort.

Massie isn't just a signatory of that petition, but its principal champion, having introduced it this summer along with Democratic California Rep. Ro Khanna. When Speaker Mike Johnson finally brought the House back into session this week after nearly two months of idleness, Massie secured the required 218th signature on the Epstein-file discharge petition, a parliamentary avenue that overrides Johnson's ability to determine which bills are voted upon. When the vote on Massie's bill takes place on Tuesday, a far larger number of Republicans are expected to vote for it, rather than face subsequent attacks for voting to keep the Epstein files under wraps.

Posting on his Truth Social account, Trump's first attack targeted Massie, whom the president has repeatedly denigrated going back to his first administration. The twice-divorced and alleged-repeat-philanderer Trump suggested Massie remarried too quickly after his wife died in June 2024; the libertarian-minded Kentuckian married a former Rand Paul staffer last month. Trump implied the marriage was hurting Massie's 2026 political prospects, claiming "polls" give Massie "less than an 8% chance" of being re-elected. ZeroHedge was unable to find a published poll that aligns with that characterization. Massie won his last three primaries handily, amassing more than 75% of the vote in each one.



That's SECOND- and THGR- level "argument": insulting people based on projection. Yanno, like SECOND calling others "liars" and THGR calling people "stupid trolls".

Hey, SECOND and THGR, how does it feel to be just like Trump?

Quote:

Not long after his Massie post, Trump dropped a nearly-300-word rant assailing "Wacky Marjorie," and announcing he was withdrawing his "support and endorsement" of Greene. Trump claimed that Greene's complaints about Trump's policies spring from when Trump sent her a poll "stating that she should not run" for governor or the Senate, adding that he's heard Greene is "upset that I don't return her phone calls anymore." The president said he stands ready to give the "right" Republican primary challenger of Greene his "Complete and Unyielding Support."

Greene quickly fired back with a lengthy post of her own, saying, "President Trump just attacked me and lied about me. I haven't called him at all." She said that, earlier on Friday, she'd sent Trump text messages urging him to "lean into" the release of the Epstein files, telling him that Bill Clinton appeared on Epstein's flight logs "like 26 times," and that "Epstein was the spider that wove the web of the deep state." Greene included screen shots of her text messages, and added:

"Of course he’s coming after me hard to make an example to scare all the other Republicans before next weeks vote to release the Epstein files. It’s astonishing really how hard he’s fighting to stop the Epstein files from coming out that he actually goes to this level. But really most Americans wish he would fight this hard to help the forgotten men and women of America who are fed up with foreign wars and foreign causes, are going broke trying to feed their families, and are losing hope of ever achieving the American dream. That’s what I voted for.

I have supported President Trump with too much of my precious time, too much of my own money, and fought harder for him even when almost all other Republicans turned their back and denounced him. But I don’t worship or serve Donald Trump. I worship God, Jesus is my savior, and I serve my district GA14 and the American people. I remain the same today as I’ve always been and I will continue to pray this administration will be successful because the American people desperately deserve what they voted for."



Amen, sister!

Quote:

In addition to her pursuit of the Epstein files in the face of Trump's insistence that it's all a Democrat "hoax," Greene has become increasingly critical of the Republican Party's performance on issues like the cost of living and government spending. Greene has become Congress's most outspoken Republican critic of US support of Israel, repeatedly opposing additional aid to what she calls the "secular government of Israel," accusing Israel of genocide in Gaza, and demanding that the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) register as a foreign agent.

Also, why is Trump supporting and funding arch neocon Lindsay Graham?

The more I see how hard Trump is fighting to stop the file's release, the more I think there's something in them.

If Epstein was Mossad, or more likely connected to Mossad thru Ghislaine (After all, somebody was willing to burn Epstein but Ghislaine is still being protected.) and Mossad has dirt on all kinds of people including presumably Trump, that would explain Trump's die hard support of Netanyahu and Israel.

But since I imagine Epstein files include all kinds of upper-ups including people like Bill Clinton, the game that Dems are playing is to call for the files' release and use Trump's panic to implicate him in crime while avoiding releasing the files. It'll be interesting to see who switches votes if the file release gets closer.

The funny thing is, I think voters would tolerate Trump even in the face of Epstein revelations if he actually achieved more MEANINGFUL RESULTS. The first few months were a blaze of successes: shutting down illegal immigration, empowering robust deportation, and restricting benefits to citizens, ending DEI and woke-ism, beginning to cut government spending and rooting out corruption, stopping Dem-based censorship.

After that, it's been one giant misstep after another, in foreign policy, tariffs, government spending, taxation, and so forth.

Trump has conflated himself with MAGA. I think he started a movement that's bigger than he is. If he insists that he is more important than MAGA, he'll ruin Vance's and other's chances of implementing reality-based policies when he's gone.

He's not in it. If he were, the Democratic Party would have nailed him to a cross with it.

The only way he is in there and that didn't happen is if a lot of "important" Democrats were on it too and they didn't want to out themselves. If that's the case, this is a really stupid fucking thing for them to be doing right now, pushing for them to be released. They might just get what they want. And even if Trump is on it, all the people who were protecting Trump by protecting themselves are all going to be fed to the Public on a silver platter.

And since I don't trust either side at all, it wouldn't surprise me if a "full" release means that they'd throw Trump under the bus, but most of the Republicans who took place in the "festivities" would be protected while all of the Democrats who partook have their heads put on a pike.

It wouldn't surprise me none if that's the way it went down now.

Democrats are the definition of stupidity.

Their stratagy for decades now was to take full control of the media and the narrative, and boy did it really seem to be working for a while there. But they started believing all of their own bullshit when they saw all of their opinions constantly confirmed by the media who was in lock-step with every plan and agenda under the sun. And in their hubris, they allowed all of the smart ones with old-school experience to die off without teaching any of the young little shits anything about strategy. Democrats have no idea how to strategize or think about potentiality in 2025. They're simply incapable of it because they've spent the last 25 years or so believing they're right about everything and that they're the good guys (and that the good guys always win).

They're finished.

And if they Finish Trump with Epstein, this will go down in the books as the new textbook definition of a Pyrrhic victory. There will be no Democrat Party remaining to fight against JD Vance.

Trump is calling for investigation of Dems like Bill Clinton, hoping to turn the tables with HIS selective release... without getting tarred at the same time.

Yeah. And if he's guilty, he's playing this all wrong. If he's innocent, a lot of Democrats and Republicans might just end up fucking themselves by pushing this too far and he just decides to say fuck it call everyone's bluff and bury them all with it early, without bothering to make any attempt to shield any Republicans either. Majorie Taylor Green knows right now how giddy Trump gets talking about primarying Republicans who don't agree with him. How much do you think he'd enjoy burying any Republican who voted to release the files earlier than he was planning on it?

I'd say he should shut the fuck up about it, but then again, that wouldn't be at all like Trump behavior and I think that people on the Left would be using that against him too. "Why is Trump so quiet? Trump always has something to say about everything? Why the silence now? He must be a kid-fucker, otherwise he'd be denying it and calling us evil."

I'm just hoping that I'm right, because it's really the only way we're actually going to get any answers, EVER. If Trump isn't planning on releasing them, then it's going to be our great grandchildren receiving the unsealed files, EXTREMELY heavily redacted just like our so-called JFK dump that to my knowledge hasn't answered anybody's questions that they've been asking my entire life.

As I said on Friday night aboard Air Force One to the Fake News Media, House Republicans should vote to release the Epstein files, because we have nothing to hide, and it’s time to move on from this Democrat Hoax perpetrated by Radical Left Lunatics in order to deflect from the Great Success of the Republican Party, including our recent Victory on the Democrat “Shutdown.” The Department of Justice has already turned over tens of thousands of pages to the Public on “Epstein,” are looking at various Democrat operatives (Bill Clinton, Reid Hoffman, Larry Summers, etc.) and their relationship to Epstein, and the House Oversight Committee can have whatever they are legally entitled to, I DON’T CARE! All I do care about is that Republicans get BACK ON POINT, which is the Economy, “Affordability” (where we are winning BIG!), our Victory on reducing Inflation from the highest level in History to practically nothing, bringing down prices for the American People, delivering Historic Tax Cuts, gaining Trillions of Dollars of Investment into America (A RECORD!), the rebuilding of our Military, securing our Border, deporting Criminal Illegal Aliens, ending Men in Women’s Sports, stopping Transgender for Everyone, and so much more! Nobody cared about Jeffrey Epstein when he was alive and, if the Democrats had anything, they would have released it before our Landslide Election Victory. Some “members” of the Republican Party are being “used,” and we can’t let that happen. Let’s start talking about the Republican Party’s Record Setting Achievements, and not fall into the Epstein “TRAP,” which is actually a curse on the Democrats, not us. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!



Good luck everyone.

And to those who were bluffing? Bluff called.

All the luck in the world isn't going to save you now.

I find it kind of humorous that he told the Fake News Media on Friday night that he told the Republicans in the House to vote to release the files and nobody here knew about it. Ted and Second were still calling him Pedophile in Chief and shit like that all weekend, still very obviously under the impression that Trump was fighting like a dog to hide this stuff when he'd told everyone on Friday night that he wants them released now.

I didn't even know about it until I saw the TruthSocial tweet linked on today's RCP homepage.

Hell... I fucking doubt anybody at RCP even knew about it until today since they didn't post any articles about it all weekend.

That's your fucking worthless media for ya.

Good riddance.

Trump’s Nearly $2 Billion Postelection Windfall

Even though his campaign ended a year ago, the president hasn’t stopped fundraising.

On the morning after he won a second term as president, Donald Trump placed an unexpected call to his top fundraiser, Meredith O’Rourke. The night before, he’d told a ballroom of supporters in West Palm Beach, Florida, that he had held his last political rally—“Can you believe it?”—and was ready to focus on governing. But his message to O’Rourke after the break of dawn was different. “I want you to keep going,” he told her.

Within weeks, that message had gone out to his Republican donors, as well as to Fortune 500 companies and billionaire investors who typically avoided electoral politics. Their first opportunity was his second inauguration committee, which would eventually raise $241 million, about $90 million more than organizers needed to fund the events—and nearly four times as much as Joe Biden had raised for his own inauguration, in 2021. But that was just the beginning.

Trump wanted money for the sorts of political operations that many politicians support—the Republican National Committee, his own political action committee, a new dark-money nonprofit group, a super PAC run by longtime advisers. But he was also requesting money for technically apolitical nonprofit causes that offered corporations and wealthy individuals a chance to make tax-deductible contributions, including a dramatic White House renovation, the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts (now under his control), his presidential library, and a celebratory Army parade on his birthday. By August, Trump estimated that he had collected at least $1.5 billion since the election, more than all the money raised to support his 2024 campaign over two years, including funds raised by supportive independent super PACs. The tally is now approaching $2 billion, two people familiar with the effort—who, like others, were not authorized to speak publicly—told us.

Trump has kept careful track of the money coming in, regularly calling O’Rourke late at night for updates. He monitors who is giving, who is not, and the role of lobbyists who bundle donations, those familiar with his efforts told us. At times, the actual donation amount is less important to the president than the percentage of the donor’s overall assets. He thanks the most generous benefactors at swanky events at the White House and his clubs.

Much of the money has come from people or entities that have business before the government. Defense contractors, cryptocurrency investors, and technology companies have put in tens of millions of dollars as he has deregulated the industry or dropped enforcement proceedings. A select group of companies and executives—Amazon, Lockheed Martin, Coinbase, Palantir CEO Alex Karp—are top donors to multiple Trump projects.

Nothing on this scale was ever attempted by a sitting president prior to Trump. Other recent administrations have faced their own scandals over fundraising efforts. But Trump’s approach—in the extent of the donations he’s soliciting, the secrecy with which some are handled, and the frankness of the exchange of dollars for presidential favor—puts even the most ambitious prior efforts to shame. And he’s just getting started. “He hasn’t stopped,” a third person told us, “and I don’t anticipate that we will stop.”

Trump’s relentless fundraising has alarmed ethics watchdogs who have worked for years to reduce the role of large donations in buying access or protection from government regulation.

“While it is not unusual for lame duck presidents to fundraise for their Libraries, what we are seeing from President Trump in his first year of office is shockingly unprecedented,” Trevor Potter, a former Republican chair of the Federal Election Commission (FEC) who now runs the Campaign Legal Center, told us in a statement. “The president’s seemingly insatiable drive for money from corporations and billionaires seeking government favors (or merely hoping to procure protection from Trump attacks on their business interests) sends a clear signal to everyday Americans that their needs come far behind those of the ultrawealthy who are buying access and favor.

Trump advisers maintain that the only reason people are giving is that they support the president’s agenda. The White House spokesperson Davis Ingle described Trump as “the most dominant figure in American politics from fundraising to the campaign trail,” and said that donors were willing to give because of the “historic progress” of his administration.

Others familiar with the efforts say that more transactional motivations are at play. Media and technology companies that Trump has sued have collectively made $85 million in payments to some of his pet projects in order to settle the lawsuits. These include donations made by Meta (sued for deplatforming Trump after January 6) and Paramount (the parent company of CBS News, which Trump sued) to the Trump library, and a donation from Alphabet (the parent company of YouTube, which deactivated Trump’s account after January 6) for the ballroom. The donations came at a time when those companies were also seeking regulatory favor from his government. In Paramount’s case, the incoming chair of the Federal Communications Commission said that Trump’s unsettled complaint could complicate its planned merger with another company, pressuring Paramount to pay up despite significant doubts over the case’s merits. Some companies and executives also fear unfavorable government action if they don’t give.

“There are people being asked to do 10-to-25-million-dollar checks for the ballroom, for the inauguration, for the presidential library,” another person familiar with the requests told us. “That spigot is never going to close, ever. This is just the cost of doing business. They will write a multimillion-dollar check to avoid the $2 billion lawsuit. It’s a business decision.”

Only parts of Trump’s $2 billion haul have been publicly disclosed, often in media reports or in comments by the president. Under public pressure, the White House released a list of three dozen major donors to the new ballroom, which Trump expects to cost $300 million. (The president said late last month that “more than $350 million” had been raised.) Trump’s team disclosed the $241 million in inauguration fundraising to the FEC, as required by law. Trump’s team raised about $33 million for an Army parade in Washington, D.C., and other celebrations, The Atlantic previously reported. The Kennedy Center raised $58 million last month, according to its president, Richard Grenell, after a separate Trump fundraiser for the center in June requested checks of $100,000 to $2 million.

Little is known about how much fundraisers have collected for the Donald J. Trump Presidential Library Foundation, which Trump’s son Eric and Trump’s son-in-law Michael Boulos established in May. Efforts by Miami Dade College to give land to the foundation for a future library site in downtown Miami have been blocked by Florida courts. The foundation has yet to report any revenue, though ABC News announced that it would pay a $15 million settlement to the future library to resolve a lawsuit by Trump against the anchor George Stephanopoulos for his false claim that Trump had been found “liable for rape,” when the jury verdict was for sexual abuse. (A New York judge said that the jury’s findings against Trump described rape “as the term commonly is used and understood in contexts outside of the New York Penal Law.”)

Trump is also continuing to run a presidential-scale political-money operation alongside the fundraising efforts by House and Senate leaders for the 2026 midterm elections. From the end of November 2024 to June 30, 2025, his team brought in $229 million to MAGA Inc., a super PAC run by aides that is not directly controlled by Trump. During the same period, he raised an additional $63 million through Trump National Committee JFC, a small-dollar joint fundraising operation with the Republican National Committee, according to FEC records. Both groups will report their fundraising for the second half of the year at the end of January.

His team has also collected funds for a dark-money group, Securing American Greatness. The organization will not disclose its fundraising in 2025 until it releases its tax forms next year, and it has no legal obligation to reveal individual donors. One technology company, Qualcomm, disclosed to its shareholders a donation of $1 million to Securing American Greatness along with a gift of $1 million to the inaugural committee, suggesting the possibility that other corporations are also pairing their public donations with secret ones. Since early May, Securing American Greatness has spent nearly $18.5 million on advertising, according to independent tracking of ad spending that a political operative shared with us. The ads, which included a major spring campaign in support of Trump’s budget bill, have targeted congressional districts that are expected to be competitive in 2026, and the group also spent money to get out the vote before the off-year elections in Virginia this month that Democrats dominated.

Trump and his aides cast donations to his political groups or priorities as acts of patriotism, often celebrating donors at lavish dinners. About 125 donors to the ballroom project gathered with the president in the White House’s East Room on October 15. As they sat around candlelit tables decorated with white roses, Trump debuted a model for a memorial arch, inspired by the Arc de Triomphe in Paris, that he has discussed building near Arlington National Cemetery—which could soon present another opportunity to donate.

“We have a lot of legends in the room tonight, and that’s why we’re here, to celebrate you,” Trump told the crowd. “So many friends in the audience, and I just want to thank you all. You’re very special people. You love the country, you love the White House, and what you’ve done is very important.”
