Pro-Trump owner shocked as grocery store that thrived for 43 years goes bankrupt under his tariffs and policies Wong, who supported Trump in the last election, said he was swayed by campaign promises to reduce grocery costs. But now, as his business struggles to stay afloat, he admits the reality looks very different. Grocery inflation is at a two-year high, and prices continue to climb with no end in sight.
Wong told NPR that virtually all of his products have increased in price since early this year. For instance, a box of mabo tofu sauce — a popular Sichuan dish — has gone from $2.75 last year to $3.95 at the beginning of this year. “We just had this shipment come in yesterday — it’s $5. We cannot catch up. Every shipment coming in, we have to put a new price on it,” Wong said.
Would the dems be able to win people like this if they removed Trump’s tarriffs instead of increasing them? Would the dems even be willing to do so?
No. We have seen it before with Democrats “moving to the center” never works, just ends up annoying the voters they actually need to get to vote for them.
Moving to the center is maintaining and expanding Trump’s china tarriffs, which is what Biden did. I am asking what if the dems did the opposite of what Trump continues to do, and made things cheaper for Americans?
Ahhh gotcha. I got very confused there. That would be awesome if they did.
