Swalwell slammed on social media for questioning how Trump will lower grocery prices

MAGAFEST DESTINY? TRUMP FLEXES HIS MUSCLES WITH REPEATED TALK OF AMERICAN EXPANSIONISM

Rep. Eric Swalwell, D-Calif., recently ignited a firestorm on social media when he questioned President-elect Donald Trump’s ability to bring down grocery prices. This move backfired as users pointed out that food prices actually surged under President Biden’s leadership.

“I don’t care if Donald Trump wants to buy Greenland. I just want to know what he’s going to do to lower the cost of groceries,” Rep. Swalwell tweeted.

Social media users wasted no time in highlighting that Swalwell’s party had control of the House, Senate, and the White House during a time when Americans were struggling to afford basic groceries. While the Democrats later lost control of the House post the 2022 midterm elections, they retained the Senate.

Swalwell seemed to stand by his assertion that Trump would not bring down grocery prices. “Guys, it’s so obvious. Trump has no idea how to lower your cost of groceries. So he’s going to distract you by sending your kids to die fighting Canada,” Swalwell further tweeted.

However, this tweet only added fuel to the fire, with social media users questioning why Swalwell was more focused on grocery prices than the deadly wildfires ravaging his state, resulting in two casualties and the displacement of thousands.
