When I woke up this morning, you were on my mind
“It’s such an old-fashioned term but a beautiful term: groceries,” Donald Trump riffed back in April. “It sort of says a bag with different things in it.”
“Groceries” was on Trump’s mind as though he’d just discovered the word. Groceries are apparently still on the minds of people more familiar with the term, its usage, and their rising costs. Over half of Americans say grocery costs are a major source of stress, per this report from Los Angeles.

I’ve mentioned my ARE YOUR GROCERIES CHEAPER? sign a couple of times, including how one Trump supporter stopped on a bridge to yell that my sign was “retrarded.”
I get a lot of positive feedback on the overpass, but even a nonpolitical message about grocery costs rubs some people the wrong way. What I got while displaying the groceries message was three middle fingers out of three windows of one car! They know what Trump promised them, what they voted for, and what they didn’t get. And they really, really, hate being reminded.
