    Wait… wasn’t he just giving a “press conference” about how grocery prices have gone up? If not price controls, what will hinder price gouging?

        Only by giving massive amounts of no-strings-attached government money to Smithfield and ConAgra while lightly scolding them about shrinkflation can we address high grocery costs!

        He will simply tell the companies they have to lower the prices, and they will say “no way” and he will say “way”.

      Weren’t you paying attention? He’s not going to use price controls, he’s going to use container size controls.

      It can’t be communist if it’s big!

      We need to De-Woke the agricultural sector. There are too many regulations. Not enough people can keep a cow in their back yard and sell milk to the neighbors.

      Retvrn to Tradition!

      Well, we’re still waiting for the details on that “amazing” healthcare plan him and his team lied about having when they tried to repeal the Affordable Care Act, so I’m sure it’s just around the corner!
