'People are voting with their stomachs': President Trump slams Kamalanomics as Americans struggle to pay for groceries, basic needs

"People are voting with their stomachs, meaning they’re going to the grocery store, they’re paying 50, 60, 70 percent more on food than they did just a couple years ago," Trump said.

Donald Trump took questions on Thursday during a press conference at Mar-a-Lago on the current economic conditions in the US. He noted that the economic conditions under the Biden-Harris administration have led to inflated prices on many basic necessities, including food. Trump told reporters that people are "voting with their stomachs."

"People are voting with their stomachs, meaning they’re going to the grocery store, they’re paying 50, 60, 70 percent more on food than they did just a couple years ago," Trump said.

Trump said that under his term presidency, gas prices were under $2 per gallon but are now up to $5 per gallon or more. Gasoline prices under the Biden administration have risen, he said, and the administration’s moves to lower them have not had long-lasting effects.

The Biden-Harris administration’s move to release barrels of oil from the strategic national reserves in an attempt to lower prices at the pump led to depletion of US energy reserves. "We’ve never had it this low," Trump said of the reserves’ current level. "He’s using that to keep the gasoline prices as low as possible. He’s sucked all of the oil out, essentially the gasoline to keep the price down a little bit and it’s had very little impact."

"You know, that’s meant for wars, It’s meant for like, tragedy," he said. "It’s not meant to keep a gasoline price down so that somebody can vote for Biden, or in this case, Kamala, who by the way is worse than Biden."

At the beginning of his address, Trump said that "we have a lot of bad things coming up, you could end up in a depression of the 1929 variety, which would be a devastating thing."
