Trump breaks for campaign promise and he's not even President yet. LOL
But now, the president-elect is toning down the rhetoric on his promise to make groceries cheaper.
In a new interview published by Time magazine Thursday, Trump said that one of the biggest things Democrats and his opponent, Vice President Kamala Harris, didn't understand about the American people is that "they want to be able to buy groceries at a reasonable price and not have to turn off their heat in order to buy two apples."
But when asked if he'd be able to bring grocery costs down once in office, Trump admitted that while he was optimistic, "It's hard to bring things down once they're up. You know, it's very hard." He said that even if prices on the shelves didn't fall, he didn't think it would mark his presidency as a failure.
