Oh, you’ve got to love it when the Democratic Party tries to own the Republicans and ends up torching themselves with their own evidence. If irony were a sport, this tweet would’ve been a gold medal performance.
So here’s what went down: the official Democratic Party account tried to slam “Trump’s America” by posting a graph showing grocery prices. Their goal? Convince Americans that under Trump, your eggs, milk, and steak are turning into luxury items. The result? A giant, flashing neon arrow pointing directly at the Biden administration’s catastrophic economic record.
The deleted X post from the Democrat’s account:
Let’s talk about this graph. The timeline starts in 2019—Trump’s final full year in office—and goes through to 2025. Here’s the kicker: prices are nice and stable in 2019 and 2020. Then suddenly, right around 2021—gasp!—they start climbing like a rocket. So what happened in 2021, kids? That’s right: Joe Biden walked into the White House, pen in hand, ready to sign executive orders like he was trying to win a prize for quantity over quality. And almost immediately, the cost of living went from “manageable” to “better start a backyard chicken coop and learn to churn your own butter.”
The internet, unsurprisingly, had a field day. Commentators from across the spectrum piled on, with Chad Felix Greene pointing out that the graph literally shows prices exploding the moment Biden took office. Greg Price asked the most obvious question in the history of X: “Who was in charge in 2021?” You’d think someone at DNC HQ might have asked that before hitting “post.” But nope—off it went, like a bad group text you immediately regret.
You’re showing us a graph of stable prices suddenly rising the moment you came into power and then steadily rising higher and higher until Trump was reelected.

Even folks at the Wall Street Journal and authors like Carol Roth couldn’t help but laugh. “This is not the flex they think it is,” Roth noted, and honestly, it might be the understatement of the year. The Democratic Party’s post ended up being the best GOP campaign ad Republicans didn’t have to pay for.
They can’t be this dumb. Are they actually this dumb??? https://t.co/bKGcnjz1XC

Now, if the graph wasn’t enough of a train wreck, let’s talk about the context. Democrats are still out here trying to pin rising prices on Republicans—despite the fact that grocery prices rose over 21% under Biden. Inflation hit a 40-year high in 2022, but sure, tell us more about how Republicans are to blame because they took back the House in 2023. That’s like lighting your house on fire, handing someone a squirt gun a year later, and then blaming them when the couch is still smoldering.
I don’t think democrats know how to read graphs https://t.co/C1jMANw4pe

And let’s not forget the DCCC’s latest brilliant idea: a website called HouseRepublicanPriceHike.com. That’s right—they doubled down. The same party that printed money like it was Monopoly night, dumped trillions into a barely-functioning “rescue” plan, and drove up inflation by ignoring basic economics is now blaming the grocery bill on the folks who’ve held the House for about five minutes.
Let’s do a quick recap. Democrats: “Grocery prices are awful, and it’s Trump’s fault!” Internet: “Here’s your own chart showing the exact opposite.” Democrats: [Deletes post quietly and prays you didn’t screenshot it]. Spoiler alert: we did.
Here’s the thing—voters might not be economists, but they sure know when they’re paying more for peanut butter and chicken thighs. The administration can try to spin numbers all day, but you can’t gaslight people into believing their receipt from Kroger is lying. The price tags don’t care about your talking points. And clearly, neither does the internet.
Maybe next time, the DNC can do a little more thinking and a little less tweeting. Because if this is how they plan to campaign into 2026, they better stock up on ice cream now—before it becomes a luxury item, too.
