The weirdest thing this election cycle is the COMPLETELY FALSE idea that food inflation is exploding under Trump. It simply is not. Average grocery inflation has been 2.6% the past 20 years. It has been 2.2% under Trump the past year! Shelter inflation is also WAY down to 3% from 6%. This is another area people think is soaring. It's not. It's weird how people believe something that is simply not true.

2.2% is slightly higher than under Biden (2024) August was 2.7%, so far for the year is 3% but many everyday food items are very high, (e.g. Ground Beef +8%-10%, Coffee +6.1%, Fish and Seafood +6.5%, Apples +5.4%, Peanut butter +4.7%, Eating Out +3.4%, Sitting Down +3.5%).

Yes, for instance, a 40 oz jar of peanut butter went up 2.00 under Biden, by the end of 2024. Up from when he began office, Jan 2021 And currently up .50垄 more under Trump. Up .20垄. from last year. Yes, higher costs started with Biden. We felt it. & rose slightly under Trump.

Food prices that went up under Biden really hurt us. We all felt the pain. Then the slight increase under Trump, made it feel worse, when we've been waiting for prices to come back down. Even slightly would help. Still waiting.
