Back pedalling, again
As soon as Trump was elected in 2016, he went back on his promise to put Clinton in prison. Trump told a lot of lies of course, but this was one of his most visible.
Now in 2024, once again, former game show host (president-elect) Trump is backing away from one of his campaign tenets; lowering prices.

President-elect Donald Trump is acknowledging it may be difficult to bring down grocery prices, despite making it a key tenet of his presidential campaign.
But in an interview with Time magazine, which named him person of the year for 2024, Trump said he nevertheless believes it'll happen through lower energy costs and supply chain improvements.
Asked whether his presidency would be a "failure" if grocery prices don't come down, Trump responded it would not, while blaming the current administration for the way it handled inflation that led to higher food prices in the first place.
"Look, they got them up. I’d like to bring them down. It’s hard to bring things down once they’re up. You know, it’s very hard," he said in the interview published Thursday.
Yes, Trump is already blaming Biden. But Biden was president when he promised to bring down prices earlier this year. So what changed? Same thing as in 2016. Trump won the election, he does not have to keep a single promise, ever. Suckers.
