I don't know about the first three, but food in general is not down at all; probably about the same at Walmart or slightly higher for some things. No president has a magic wand to wave and prices will magically fall; but that's what he promised and he hasn't delivered at all.
I can see one scenario where he might be tanking the stock market on purpose. That would be if he wanted to make it so his wealthy buddies could jump in and buy a bunch of stock at ridiculously low prices. Then he could lift the tariffs, stock prices would go up, and they'd all make a fortune. I'm not sure sure how the stock market works though; seems like people would be asking a lot of questions. Is the president allowed to do that? Is he himself buying up stock? I can't see how that would be legal. Did Donald's buddies have inside information? I know for sure that's illegal. Seems like it would be hard to pull off and would bury the Donald in problems.
