In a stunning turn of events, a political action committee supporting former President Donald Trump’s potential 2024 election campaign has launched a new website—Biden-Mart—exposing the mammoth increase in grocery prices since President Joe Biden assumed office. Crafted by Make America Great Again Inc, the site showcases a striking contrast between food prices under Trump and Biden, drawing on data from the U.S. Department of Agriculture from January 2021 and January 2024.
The website serves as an interactive tool, enabling visitors to compile their weekly grocery lists and witness the alarming surge in prices under Biden’s administration. “Every time you go grocery shopping, you are reminded of the failure of ‘Bidenomics,’” says Alex Pfeiffer, spokesman for MAGA INC, in an interview with The Daily Mail. With Biden-Mart, the committee underscores the detrimental effects of “Joe Biden’s inflation” on hardworking Americans who incessantly grapple with the escalating costs.
Among the plethora of food items listed on the site, some witness a shocking uptick under President Biden. Apples, for instance, indicate a 111% increase per two pounds, boneless chicken thighs soar by 91% per two pounds, ribeye steak jumps 82% per pound, and ground beef marks a 66% hike per two pounds.
The USDA, which revealed last month that food prices are poised to persistently increase in 2024 albeit at a slower rate, predicts around a 1.6% rise in food-at-home prices in 2024, following a 5% hike in 2023. While Biden holds corporations accountable for the price escalation, Trump insists that Biden’s policies are at the root of the inflation crisis.
“Shrinkflation,” as termed by Biden, has become a rampant marketing ploy, where major companies reduce product quantity while maintaining the same prices. However, Trump claims, “Shrinkflation is just another way of saying inflation—it means that you’re losing a lot of money because these people don’t know what they’re doing.” Taking further jabs at Biden, Trump adds, “Under my leadership, there was no inflation. We had the greatest economy in the history of the world.”
In conclusion, Biden-Mart aims to shed light on the pressing problem of soaring grocery prices under the current administration while boldly advocating for a potential Trump comeback in 2024. As the digital platform lays bare the financial burden on American families, it sends a powerful message from Trump and his supporters, keen on rectifying what they perceive as the disastrous consequences of ‘Bidenomics’. The battle for the hearts, minds, and wallets of the American people enters a new chapter, withTrump’s campaign seizing the opportunity to underscore the economic consequences of the recent years and reignite the rallying cry: “You’re fired.”
