With just over a month until his return to the White House, President-elect Donald Trump said in a new interview it's "very hard" to bring down the cost of groceries for American families, raising questions about one of his key 2024 campaign promises.

In an interview with Time Magazine for its Person of the Year spread, the 78 year old was asked whether he would consider his presidency a failure if costs don't come down for consumers.

"I don't think so. Look, they got them up, I'd like to bring them down. It's hard to bring things down once they're up," he said. "You know, it's very hard."

"I think that energy is going to bring them down. I think a better supply chain is going to bring them down," he added. Trump on the campaign trail repeatedly said he believed cutting regulations and other challenges for the energy sector could bring down prices across the board for Americans without providing details.

However, making grocery prices go up is very easy.

Suckers.
