Trump met with House Republicans on Capitol Hill today to try to get his “big beautiful bill” passed, and when asked about Republican cuts in food assistance programs he told a reporter that cutting food assistance programs will make food cheaper.
Stupid is what stupid does.
The bill has massive cuts to Medicaid and food assistance programs so Trump can get his tax cuts for the rich. Trump signaled to Republicans that cutting Medicaid was fine when he said to eliminate “waste, fraud and abuse” within the program. That’s code for keep up the good work screwing the less fortunate for my benefit.

TRUMP: Let me just tell you, the cut is going to give everybody much more food because prices are coming way down.
Groceries are down.
Eggs.
You told me about eggs.
You asked me a question about eggs my first week. You said, eggs. I said, I just got here. Tell me about eggs. And it was going through the roof. You know that eggs now are way down. Everybody is buying eggs.
Groceries down. Energy is down.
Gasoline is now buying — they’re buying gasoline now for $1.99.
When I — if you look back, you’ll see $3.50, $4.
