Is this a good sign that Trump is at least thinking about bringing down the cost of groceries?

Trump has been talking a lot about Groceries lately.
Still doesn't seem like he has a plan on bringing down the price – but at least he is acknowledging that groceries exist.

    Are these not the words of a mentally deficient person who shouldn't be in charge of a popcoren stand, let alone the U.S.A.

    "President Donald Trump still seems to think that “groceries” is something of an uncommon word.

    “It’s such an old-fashioned term, but a beautiful term: groceries. It sort of says a bag with different things in it,” Trump said at a White House event on Wednesday, where he discussed his massive new tariffs. “Groceries went through the roof and I campaigned on that. I talked about the word ‘groceries’ for a lot.”

    Trump has had an odd fixation with the word ― and an even odder fixation with the notion that it’s somehow an uncommon or “old-fashioned” word.

    He mentioned it last week as “like an old-fashioned word, but it’s a beautiful word, a very descriptive word.” At a different event last week, he called it “like an old-fashioned word, but really it’s not, and people understand it.”

    He also brought it up on the campaign trail, where at one point he tried to define it.

    “The word ‘grocery,’ it’s a sort of simple word,” he said in October. “But it sort of means, like, everything you eat. The stomach is speaking, it always does.”

    "Stable genius" was a misprint. He's a stable genus. A stable is precisely where you'd expect to find a horse's a$$.

    I think he recently discovered that food doesn't appear fully prepared and on a plate. It probably boggled his mind when he had to put raw potatoes into hot oil at McDonald's. I can picture him asking if all food comes unassembled and where do we get the parts. When he asked what we call the parts of food, someone must have told him 'groceries'.
