Wondering why your 4th of July barbeque was more expensive than last year?
Thanks to Don's tariffs, cookout costs are up 13% YOY.
Did we MAGA yet or are we sill waiting?

"Ground beef and ice cream hit their highest prices on record since the 1980s, the analysis found citing Consumer Price Index data."

"Miller Lite and Coors Light six-packs are up more than 13% at Walmart since Liberation Day and through June 26."

"Imported beer prices also rose with Peroni increasing 10.5% and Modelo Especial 9.5%."

"Cookout essentials like aluminum foil, grill tools, and sunscreen saw hikes between 6% and 18%."

"68% of those surveyed said barbecues are noticeably more expensive to host this year with 55% noting Trump's tariffs are making holiday celebrations more expensive."

"Very simple word, groceries. Like almost nobody -- you know, who uses the word? I started using the word -- the groceries.
When you buy apples, when you buy bacon, when you buy eggs, they would double and triple the price over a short period of time, and I won an election based on that.
We're going to bring those prices way down." ~Donald Trump

It is part of RFKjr's MAHA plan to attack the obesity epidemic. If you make the food so expensive that people can't afford it, they will lose weight.

As life continues to get more difficult for American families...

"Grocery inflation highest since 2022 as Trump tariffs pile up."

"Broad price increases last month hit key items that have been subject to Trump's tariffs, including groceries.
Coffee is up 20.9% year-over-year, with a 3.1% monthly increase, per CPI.
Uncooked beef steaks are up 16.6% year-over-year with a 3.3% monthly bump.
While fruits and vegetable overall were up 2.3% year over year, apples rose 9.6% and bananas, 6.6%."

"Very simple word, groceries. Like almost nobody -- you know, who uses the word? I started using the word -- the groceries.
When you buy apples, when you buy bacon, when you buy eggs, they would double and triple the price over a short period of time, and I won an election based on that.
We're going to bring those prices way down." ~Donald Trump, Rapist/Pedophile/Serial Liar

What kind of person likes being lied to over and over?

There’s a pantload of them if the ratings of Fox are to be believed.

"Grocery prices have kept rising under Trump—a topic I’d be posting about everyday if he was a Democrat." ~Dope

The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported a 2.7% year-over-year increase in grocery prices as of August 2025, with a 0.6% monthly jump—the fastest rise in three years.
Vegetables—heavily dependent on immigrant labor—are up a 38.9%.
