"Things are not going, right now, very well for the consumer," Trump said during the interview. "Bacon is up five times." Trump's math is wrong, but bacon has seen some sizzling price increases. According to federal data, U.S. bacon prices peaked in October 2022 at $7.60 a pound, up 30% from October 2019. In September, bacon averaged $6.95 a pound, 25% higher than five years ago. That's in line with a 29% increase in overall food prices over that period, according to the Labor Department."},{
