Do you like a Memorial Day barbecue with your friends and family? Well, that just got a whole lot more expensive thanks to Donald Trump. After pledging to lower the costs of everything from bacon to hot dogs to soda, Trump is giving Americans empty grills and higher grocery bills. 

💰 Thanks to Donald Trump’s reckless economic agenda, Memorial Day barbecues will cost more than they did just a year ago. 

🌭 Hot dogs cost $4.03, jumping 23.2% from last year

🍔 Ground beef costs $11.99, jumping 13.6% from last year

🥤 Soda costs $9.15, jumping 13.4% from last year 

🥓 Bacon costs $7.01, jumping 5.6% from last year

🧀 American cheese costs $4.99, jumping 4.4% from last year

🐓 Chicken thighs cost $2.59, jumping 3.2% from last year 

🍅 Ketchup costs $4.17, jumping 2.2% from last year

🥗 Relish costs $4.81, jumping 2.1% from last year

🥔 Potato chips cost $6.61, jumping 1.6% from last year

📉 Unsurprisingly, Trump’s expensive agenda is wildly unpopular with the American people. New polling shows a majority of Americans blame Trump’s chaotic agenda for high costs and believe he isn’t focused on lowering prices. 

• 78% of Americans have noticed increased grocery prices over the last few months
• 67% of Americans said Trump’s tariffs were raising their costs, including 46% of Republicans
• 69% of Americans thought Trump wasn’t focused enough on lowering prices
• Consumer sentiment tumbled to the second-lowest on record and inflation expectations skyrocketed to multi-decade highs
