4. This justly shows Trump he cannot control market forces by Royal Decree.

'Make me look good by lowering consumer staple prices' says Trump.

The free market says . . . Yeah, Nah!

Same in Australia though.
I must be getting stronger, I can carry the $100 worth of shopping into the house easily.
Might just be it is now just down to two bags though.
And no meat in either.

But it isn't a political thing here, no politician has been stupid enough to promise to lower prices.
Trump has made it a political thing by bragging and promising - not a good hill for him to choose to die on.
(But I hope he does.)
