Donald Trump helps pay for Pennsylvania mom’s groceries
Donald Trump paid $100 towards the groceries of a mother shopping in Pennsylvania on Monday.
During a living room politics stop at a local grocery store chain in western Pennsylvania, the former president took money from his wallet to help a woman checking out with her three sons.
‘Here,’ Trump said while taking out a Benjamin and handing it to a store patron checking out.
‘It’s going to go down a little bit,’ he said of her grocery bill that day. ‘It just went down $100.’

‘We’ll do that for you for the White House, alright?’ he said, asking for the mother-of-three’s vote.
One of Trump’s biggest 2024 campaign promises is that he will bring down everyday costs for Americans – to include gas and grocery prices – amid soaring inflation and a flailing economy where most Americans say they are not better off now than they were when President Joe Biden first took over.
Voters are consistent in ranking the economy and inflation as their No. 1 issue when casting their ballots for president in November.
When the woman at the store confirmed that the three boys at her side are her sons, Trump said twice: ‘Perfecto.’

‘I’m going to make a big speech at 7:00. I know you’re going to be there. I think you’ll like it, I hope you like it. It’s very important,’ Trump told the press along with him at the grocery store on Monday.
‘So, we’re in Pennsylvania, we’re doing a good job, we’re doing a lot of stops. I think we’re way ahead. I think we’re way ahead. Kamala doesn’t want fracking, how do you like that idea?’ he continued.
