This week, Donald Trump subjected Americans across the country to a brief primetime address from the White House. Predictably, it was filled with lies and deflections about his terrible economy; just another desperate attempt to hide his failed record. But Trump cannot gaslight and lecture his way out of the real price hikes Americans are seeing every day. New inflation data released today shows that food prices are sky-high and rising, with beef products and coffee prices rising at a whopping seven times the rate of inflation overall. The truth is, Trump and his Republican allies in Congress don’t care if they screw over working families – they are only interested in raising prices to benefit themselves and their powerful friends. Here’s how much food prices have been rising in 2025 under Trump and the GOP’s watch:
- 🥩 Beef roasts are up over 21 percent and ground beef is up around 15 percent as beef & veal prices overall have hit record highs in 2025.
- ☕️ Coffee prices are up nearly 19 percent in 2025.
