The former president claimed stores are out of bread.

Despite Trump’s assertions, stores near him have it in stock.

I am very curious about the last time Donald Trump went to a grocery store. One can only assume that someone is giving Trump bad information about what’s happening in grocery stores. How else to explain Trump’s assertion about bread shortages in an interview this week?
“You go to a store, they don’t have bread,” Trump said. “We’re like a Third World country. They don’t have things.”
Actually, Mr. Trump, they do.

So if we assume that Trump didn’t go to a grocery store and that stores near him had bread anyway, where did he hear this? Well, friends, one cable-news network has talked about bread (shortages) and (empty) grocery stores a lot more than its competitors. And it just happens to be the one that Trump watches most religiously. This month alone, bread and grocery stores have come up nearly 20 times on Fox News and Fox Business.

I will point out that Trump’s comments about the supply chain didn’t end with bread.
“[or] you’re going to buy something at a hardware store - they don’t have (any) products.”

1. Maybe he just didn't have his ID to buy bread...

Also hilarious that he cannot name a single "product" which is sold in a hardware store.

[Blue Owl]

2. Just another one of FF45's half-baked toilet musings

[texasfiddler]

3. He wishes. He wants these bad things to happen to the American People for his own benefit. NT

[Bev54]

27. His rich wealthy friends will believe him because I doubt any of them have

been in a grocery store for years, if ever.

4. A real shortage when the piece of shit was president:

[GoCubsGo]

14. Yep, Dementia Don is confusing now with the last year of his presidency.

That's when everyone was wiping their butts with coffee filters due to toilet paper shortages, and making sourdough bread because of bread and yeast shortages. No hand soap, Purell, bleach, rubbing alcohol, disinfectant wipes, face masks... There's plenty of all of that stuff now.

[Walleye]

5. Tons of bread in the stores here

[Bev54]

28. Here too and to top it off, all sorts of sales on flour.

[House of Roberts]

6. Soda crackers aren't fully recovered yet.

I had to buy some called Lil' Dutch Maid to get crackers with unsalted tops! Publix wants $3.71 a box for Nabisco, if they have them at all. And don't get me started on the scarcity of Fancy Feast flavors my cats can eat without throwing up!

[Celerity]

10. Texas crackers

[obamanut2012]

20. Aldi has tons of all kinds of crackers

[House of Roberts]

22. I'm only interested in store brand saltines with unsalted tops.

I have never even considered going in Aldi, and won't until they get rid of that ridiculous rent a cart system. I don't have that problem at Publix or Kroger, and there are no Aldis where I go in my town.

[Karma13612]

33. Wow, you are paying

A BOATLOAD more at Publix. Aldi has incredible selection, at amazing prices.

I keep a quarter in my pocket book to get the cart and then you get your quarter back at the end after returning it.

The carts are always in excellent shape as opposed to WalMart carts that are sometimes out of alignment or the wheels are jammed.

And they have been offering brown bags in NY state for a few years while the state was eliminating plastic bags.

Yea, if you overcome the cart issue you would find Aldi is a great store. But, after reading your comment a second time, I see you don’t have an Aldi near you. Well, just a suggestion if you do come across one!

[obamanut2012]

34. Lol it is a quarter you get back

It keeps the carts in good shape and not stolen, which keeps prices down. Your loss. Weird thing to use to boycott an excellent company.

They have the product you need.

29. Maybe unavailable where you are for some reason

Nabisco ‘Premium’ Unsalted Tops Saltine Crackers, 16 oz
$2.98 online at my local grocer.

Big variety of ‘Fancy Feast’ at 76¢ a can.

[Wounded Bear]

7. Just got back from the local Safeway. Bought a loaf of bread...

of my preferred brand and style. Plenty on the shelf.

[ProudMNDemocrat]

8. There is bread at our local HyVee

Husband bought a loaf of Sourdough this morning.

9. FALSE, says PolitiFact

https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2022/mar/30/donald-trump/donald-trump-says-stores-dont-have-bread-they-do/

Our ruling

Trump said stores "don’t have bread."

His office didn’t provide any examples, and industry data shows no major issues. A particular baked good might be missing briefly from a grocery store’s shelf, but stores carry many varieties of bread. If one is unavailable, customers generally have many other options.

We rate this claim False.

[dchill]

12. FITH, says me. (F****d in the head)

[bucolic_frolic]

11. I was in two stores today, no shortages, no stockouts at all

[bullwinkle428]

13. THIS PIECE OF SHIT IS LOOKING AT THE FOOTAGE FROM FUCKING RUSSIA.

[dalton99a]

21. +1

[Diamond_Dog]

15. He has absolutely no idea what they sell at hardware stores!

Such a man of the people!

[lame54]

16. They have plenty of hammers and sickles

[Hekate]

31. Good point

[Norbert]

17. So which stores did he go to for his fact finding mission?

I bet he hasn't been to a grocery store since Barron was a toddler.

[LuckyCharms]

18. That fucker is so stupid that he probably doesn't know what bread is.

[Hassin Bin Sober]

25. He probably doesn't know "hamberder" buns are bread.

[obamanut2012]

19. The eight million Publix in PBC all have bread

As do Wal Mart, Target, Trader Joe's, Whole Foods, and Sprouts. I just bought some at Aldi.

[Skittles]

23. can you imagine that last time that entitled fucker ever did his own shopping

I'll go with: NEVER

[Samrob]

24. In my neck of the woods prices hikes have left shelves full of stuff.

My daughter buys meat for her family on Sunday evenings and Monday mornings...yellow stickers show mark downs and as much as 80% because people in this area are fairly well off but smart buyers. The stuff doesn't sell over the week-end because of high prices and people are leaving it on the shelves.

I asked one of the meat clerks what happens to all the meat that is left, especially the prime cuts. He said that store employees are lately making out with some stuff but food pantries in our area receive a lot of the meats, cheeses, and fresh veggies. And then some is just thrown out.

[Hassin Bin Sober]

26. I wish that were true.

Trying to cut back on carbs and I love me a sammich

[left-of-center2012]

32. I like this bread
