Democrats this week have gotten stung badly, twice, by social media statements they posted themselves.
One involved their claim that under "Trump's America," American grocery prices reached "records high in 2025."
They tried to erase that quickly from the web, as their own chart confirmed that grocery prices were relatively low and stable under President Trump's first term, but exploded under Joe Biden's term in office.
The second blunder was their complaint about the federal minimum wage, which hasn't gone up from $7.25 for more than 15 years.
They, again, were complaining about President Trump, but social media commenters quickly noted that Democrats were in control of the government for all except a few of those years.
Multiple social media accounts asked the Democrats why they deleted the grocery prices comparison.
A commemtary at Twitchy noted that after the Democrats "REALLY, REALLY, REALLY owned themselves" with the grocery price blunder, they next put up the minimum wage complaint.
"If they had been smart, they would have removed the actual inflation under Biden, who created the astounding, economy-killing prices, but nope…"
Actually, under Biden, inflation exploded to as high as 9%.
"They literally blamed themselves for the high cost of food and tried to delete it …" But then they jumped into the minimum wage mess.
"Guess how many of those years the Democrats were in charge? HA HA HA HA HA HA," wrote Twitchy. "Whoever is doing their social media is really stupid, even for a Democrat."
Fox News cited other comments:
From political commentator Chad Felix Greene, "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."
GOP strategist Greg Price asked, "Who was in charge in 2021[?]"
"Wow 2021-2024 were pretty bad," Wall Street Journal critic Kyle Smith joked.
Author Carol Roth remarked, "This is not the flex they think it is."
And White House deputy press secretary Abigail Jackson commented, "They can't be this dumb. Are they actually this dumb???"
