Trump Praises Giant Eagle for Cutting Prices This Summer
Trump says the move supports his push to lower costs for American families and urges other grocery chains to follow.
- On Sunday, President Donald Trump announced on Truth Social that Giant Eagle will lower prices on more than 300 products through Labor Day, calling the grocer a "GREAT American Grocery Company."
- The Pittsburgh-based grocer, which operates about 200 supermarkets between Maryland and Indiana, began these price reductions on July 9 on beef, American cheese and more than 300 other products through Labor Day.
- Meidas Touch editor-in-chief Ron Filipkowski criticized the announcement, noting large chain stores typically carry far more products and arguing Trump is "so desperate" he takes credit for routine sale items.
- Social media users questioned the timing, noting Kroger's $1.65 billion acquisition of Giant Eagle awaits Federal Trade Commission approval, suggesting the price cuts were independent of the president's rhetoric.
- Trump also claimed credit for falling prices on oil, gas, and prescription drugs, though Democratic lawmakers including Sen. Elizabeth Warren continue to critique his economic policies citing persistent inflation pressures.
