What is the focus of Trump's recent failures?

Ben Meiselas 0:00
This is what they want to distract you with, stuff like this. This is from the official White House account. Roses are red, violets are blue. Come here illegally and we'll deport you. And it's Donald Trump and Tom Homan, the border czar. But let's talk about what's really going down, the ultimate instant betrayal by Donald Trump of all of his promises, at least that were pushed by the media, that instantly prices were going to drop. Egg prices soar. This is from Fox, up 267%. Just go try to go around and try to find eggs, number one, and then try to find eggs that are in any way affordable or any grocery prices. Grocery prices are up. Gas prices are up. I think there's only a handful of states now that have below $3 gas.
Ben Meiselas 0:48
With former President Biden, it was almost a majority of states having below $3 gas. States, red states are getting hit hard. Red states like Alabama are finding out that some of the aid that was being provided by the federal government as well as being cut off, some subsidies being cut off. So people are just having $100 here, $50 there, $100 there added to their bills. This is from the Huntsville, Alabama utilities company telling people that the Community Action Agency and Limestone Communities has notified us that a grant that you receive for $100 is being pulled back by the Trump administration. And this stuff goes a long way to help people. I know the billionaires don't think $100 here or there is helpful for we the people, but it absolutely is.

Let me share this with you so you have the full picture. kind of perspective of it. I want to get into some of the issues with the prices surging inflation, but let me just show this clip. So this is Donald Trump saying on the campaign, so we can be, I want to show you the receipts. So we're 100% conclusive that Donald Trump said that immediately day one prices would get lower, just so you can see for yourself. Here, play the clip.
Reporter 2:00
Mr. President, because of these tariffs, who do you think voters should hold responsible?
Donald Trump 2:05
Oh, I think what's going to go up is jobs are going to go up and prices could go up somewhat short term, but prices will also go down. And I think the farmers are going to be helped by this very much.
Ben Meiselas 2:16
Then last week in the Oval Office, Donald Trump said the prices may go higher, they may go lower. I don't know. Here, play this clip.
Donald Trump 2:23
When I win, I will immediately bring prices down starting on day one. Starting the day I take the oath of office, I will rapidly drive prices down and we will make America affordable again. Prices will come down. You just watch. They'll come down and they'll come down fast. We will rapidly defeat inflation. We're going to bring your prices down. Vote Trump and your incomes will soar. Your net worth will skyrocket. Your energy costs and grocery prices will come tumbling down.
