Trump Flatly Denies When Fox Anchor Confronts Him With MAGA Voter’s Pained Plea: Prices ‘Way Down’

Fox News anchor Bret Baier confronted President Donald Trump with a plea from a loyal supporter who said she was “not happy” with rising prices, only for the president to insist, flatly, that the opposite is true and prices are “way down.”

The exchange came during a Fox News interview on Wednesday night’s Special Report with Bret Baier. Trump was weighing the damage from the GOP’s bruising losses the night before.

Baier read out a message from North Carolina retiree Regina Foley, a woman who has voted Trump “three times previously,” who warned that she did not “see the best economy now” and begged him: “Please do something, President Trump.”

“I want the Republicans to keep control of Congress in 2026, but something has to be done fast!” her statement continued. “I don’t see the best economy now – Wall Street numbers do not reflect Main Street money, please do something, President Trump.”

Trump, however, rejected the premise.

“Beef we have to get down. I think of groceries, it’s an old-fashioned word, but it’s a beautiful word. Beef we have to get down, but we’ve got prices way down,” he replied, launching into a long riff on energy prices. “Think of this, [Foley] drives a car, probably, and her energy prices are way down and energy is so all-encompassing it’s so big that when energy comes down, everything comes down. Everything follows it, and I have energy down to five-six-year lows now.”

He added: “I think they are coming down, but they are down already. I think the biggest problem is Republicans don’t talk about it. They don’t talk about the word affordability and the Democrats lie about it.”

Late October polling by Washington Post-ABC News-Ipsos suggests Americans’ cost of living is very much not “way down.” Roughly seven in 10 adults said they were spending more on groceries than this time last year, and 59 percent said they were paying more for utilities (only 6 percent said less).

The strain is bipartisan: nearly nine in 10 Democrats said grocery costs have jumped, and while that figure was lower among Republicans, a majority of GOP respondents (52 percent) said they too were paying more. In terms of political consequence, 59% of all U.S. adults said they blame Trump a great deal or a good amount for the current rate of inflation.
