They. Don't. Care. The felon apparently was mystified and confused by the word "groceries".

Nobody stopped to ask any of them:
Do you ever shop for groceries?
Do you ever pay a bill - utilities, house payment, car payment?

I would believe some retailers are taking advantage of media talk about tariffs to raise prices and profits.

It's all about cruelty and hatred with the felon

His 'base' is about to find out he thinks they are microbes on the gum on the bottom of his shoe.

The questions that should have been asked every time 'they' are interviewed:
When was the last time you purchased groceries?
How often do you refuel your automobile?
How old is your automobile?
Have you *ever* paid a utility bill?
What health insurance do you have?

He does not care. When did he buy groceries? When did he pay a utility bill? When did he put gas in his car?
