The Democrat party just tripped over their own feet in a spectacular social media fumble that’s got everyone talking.
Breitbart reported that on Thursday, they took a swing at President Donald Trump over high grocery prices, only to whiff big time when their data pointed the finger at former President Joe Biden’s tenure.
The saga unfolded on the Democrats’ official X account, where they posted a graph meant to slam Trump for soaring costs in what they called “Trump’s America.”
Here’s the kicker: the graph they shared showed grocery prices climbing from 2021 onward, right through Biden’s time in office, before leveling off toward late 2024. Talk about an own goal—did no one double-check the numbers before hitting ‘post’?
The tweet’s headline even claimed that U.S. grocery prices hit record highs in 2025, alleging costs were steeper than in July 2024 across categories like cheese, alcohol, dairy, produce, meat, and general groceries. It’s a bold claim, but the data they slapped on there told a very different story.
Naturally, the post didn’t last long—once the error was spotted, it vanished faster than a magician’s rabbit. But the internet never forgets, and social media users were quick to pounce on the gaffe.
One user quipped, “What a bunch of clowns,” and frankly, it’s hard to disagree when a party’s messaging team can’t even read their chart.
The embarrassment didn’t stop there, as another chimed in with, “This is how dumb they are,” highlighting a broader frustration with political spin over substance.
A third commenter didn’t hold back either, saying, “I guess the idiot Democrats don’t know how to read a graph.” While the language stings, it reflects a growing public weariness with narratives that crumble under basic scrutiny.
Meanwhile, the economic debate at the heart of this blunder remains a hot topic for many Americans struggling at the checkout line. A CBS/YouGov survey from November showed that a plurality of folks believe Trump could bring down the cost of food and groceries, a sentiment that likely fueled the Democrats’ ill-fated attack.
Let’s not forget the backdrop here—under Biden, inflation spiked in January during his term, contributing to some of the worst price surges in decades. Though consumer prices did dip in March, marking a rare decline attributed to cheaper goods, the overall trend has left many households feeling the pinch.
That March drop was notable as it defied predictions that Trump’s tariff proposals would drive costs up, suggesting the economic picture is more complex than partisan talking points allow. Still, the sting of earlier inflation under Biden lingers in public memory.
Then there’s Biden himself, who in September admitted at an event in Westby, Wisconsin, that the $700 billion Inflation Reduction Act was poorly named.
He called it “the most significant climate change law ever,” which is fair, but many conservatives argue it funneled billions into green energy while everyday costs soared.
Biden even mused, “By the way, it is a $369 billion bill,” adding they “should’ve named it what it was.” It’s a rare moment of candor, but for many on the right, it’s too little, too late when families are budgeting tighter than ever.
As Fox News reported on Friday, this social media misstep by the Democrats has only amplified the ongoing clash over who’s really to blame for grocery sticker shock.
Breitbart News also weighed in, tying the incident to broader discussions on consumer price trends and public trust in economic leadership.
At the end of the day, this blunder isn’t just a funny headline—it’s a reminder of how quickly narrative can unravel when facts aren’t on your side.
For conservatives, it’s another example of progressive overreach missing the mark, but it’s also a call for all sides to focus on real solutions over cheap shots. Americans deserve better than graphs that don’t add up.
