Trump claims he's making food more affordable but his examples ignore the big picture

President Trump claimed on Truth Social that he is making food more affordable by citing price drops for specific groceries like avocados and cheese. However, the article notes that overall grocery prices rose 3% in April compared to a year earlier, with economists expecting continued increases due to rising diesel costs. Trump's examples omitted broader inflation trends and relied on non-public data from Circana and the USDA, which did not confirm his claims.
