Trump backtracks on campaign pledge to bring down grocery prices
The president-elect walked back what was always a wildly unrealistic campaign promise.
Summary
Trump admitted it will be difficult to lower consumer prices, despite campaign promises to reduce grocery, energy, and overall inflation costs.
Trump told Time that achieving price reductions is rare without major economic downturns.
During the campaign, Trump blamed rising costs on Democratic leadership and proposed tariffs as a solution, but economists warn tariffs could raise prices further.
Inflation, a key voter concern, played a significant role in Trump’s election victory, though he has yet to outline a clear plan to deliver on his economic pledges.

There's a saying in Spanish that goes "prometer hasta meter". It's very fitting, but I don't know how to translate it in a way that doesn't butcher it. Any help?
Promised, not delivered.
Nah, it's missing the "rapey" connotations
Oh damn, even I misunderstood the original phrase. "Promised, screwed" but even that doesn't quite get it. Hey I'm not a copywriter lol
