Reich, who served in Bill Clinton’s Cabinet, detailed why the cost of turkey, side dishes, desserts, coffee and more has continued to rise during Donald Trump’s second term, despite Trump’s campaign promise to slash prices, which Reich said was “the single-biggest reason people voted for him.”
Grocery prices “are the highest they’ve been in years — and several of Trump’s policies are making the problem worse,” said Reich, a longtime critic of Trump’s economic agenda.
