Donald Trump somehow felt the need to explain the term “groceries” to UAE President Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan during the U.S. co-president’s Middle East tour of corruption.
“They have a term grocery. It’s an old term, but it means basically what you’re buying: food,” Donald said. “It is a pretty accurate term, but it’s an old-fashioned sound, but groceries are down.”
“Costs are down, eggs are down,” he continued. “They were, first week they were hitting me with eggs were up 200%, and now they are down to a number that is amazing with down 97, 98% from where they were.”
Egg prices are down 97 percent? Big, if true.
“And everybody, they said, you won’t have eggs for Easter,” he said. “Well, everybody had eggs for Easter at a very reasonable price.”
“At the White House, we had our little Easter egg roll and hundreds of thousands of eggs purchased,” he added. “They said, You have to go out and buy plastic eggs. That didn’t work out. So we’ve done a real job.”
MAGA: ‘He’s just like one of us!’ This isn’t the first time Donald has launched a laughably naive rant about groceries. In early December of 2024, he offered another description of groceries, which is something normal people know about already, since we go grocery shopping at least once per week, so that we can eat. Groceries are also known as food.
