The Democratic National Committee (DNC) drew widespread mockery Thursday over a since-deleted social media post that showed how the cost of groceries skyrocketed under former President Joe Biden.
The X post included a graph of soaring cheese, alcohol, dairy, grocery, produce and meat prices dating back to October 2019, with the major inflection point being near the start of the Biden administration in 2021.
“Trump’s America,” read the tweet shared by @TheDemocrats.
“Prices are higher today than they were on July 2024 all in major categories listed below,” read the caption on the graphic, which did not note the source of the data.
The White House rapid response X account seized on the post – adding a “Biden” label with two arrows pointing to the price jumps under the previous administration.
The Biden-era price surges – highlighted in red by the White House – took up the majority of the graph, whereas the more stable cost of goods under Trump was only a sliver of the chart.
Several people on social media pointed out the “self own” by the Democratic Party.
“I don’t know … Kinda looks like Biden’s America,” X user Matthew Rosario noted.
Conservative podcaster Kyle Becker described the tweet as “one of the dumbest posts in @X history,” noting that the DNC deleted it “after getting ratioed into oblivion.”

Correct, just like the gals on the view are their gospel.
I have noticed the price of eggs has dropped. A dozen eggs had been selling at over $6 and now are in the $3-4 range. Beef is still too high but pork is very affordable.
I’d argue if prices fall due to LOWER ENERGY costs is a good thing. Abundance of cheap energy is directly proportional to the standard of living.
Thanks!
Exactly. Heard a Dem pundit say The party will be talking to companies to address price gouging.
When supply goes up, prices go down. At Buckeye Farms in Versailles, OH Chickens are now laying eggs again.
“Beef is still ridiculously expensive. Why?”
Droughts several years ago caused many beef cows to be sold off.
Takes a long time told back young heifer calves , grow them into cows, and then for their calves to be market ready .
And with high cattle prices, it’s very attractive to send those heifers to slaughter and get money now, versus keeping as future cows
You need to find the sales on beef and meat in general.
Look for managers specials .
Some grocery stores are more expensive than others. Same item will be priced differently at different stores. Sign up to get the discounts, and some stores allow competitor coupons . Some have senior discount days (10% off).
Yeah. I’m paying $12.99 a pound for a sirloin.
Not happy about that.
“ They want a narrative that Trump has done nothing to bring down prices for the midterms.”
Two separate standards at work here:
Trump is required to bring prices down.
Biden got away with rocketing prices.
You’d think the dumb masses would have figured out that the ‘Inflation Reduction Act’* didn’t work.
*aka Green New Deal
Forgot to add: The cure for high prices is....high prices.
-PJThe Biden/Harris administration increased prices by 22% during their four years in office, with inflation peaking at 9%.
The only way to bring prices back down to the levels that I gave them when they took over is a 1930s depression with high unemployment, business bankruptcies, housing/mortgage foreclosures, and long breadlines.
Are the Democrats really calling for a Depression 2.0 after they caused the high prices in the first place?
Is that what they want? I don't think so.
