“Food prices have effectively reset to a permanently higher level after years of supply chain disruptions, labor shortages, transportation costs, and broad inflationary pressures.”
One unusual piece of Trump-lore is that he has really bad vision but hates the way that he looks in glasses. Maybe he wears contacts in public, or maybe he isn’t able to do so for some reason. But occasionally photographers get a shot of him wearing glasses.

I doubt he could handle contacts.
He usually avoids wearing his reading glasses in public, and during speeches he uses a teleprompter or TV with really big text:

But once in a long while he does actually wear his glasses in public, like when he has to read something not printed in big text: https://metro.co.uk/2025/06/30/donald-trump-caught-wearing-reading-glasses-rare-moment-23546519/
Probably because it makes him look older. And he’s 80.
He was also seen wearing glasses when reading a briefing during his hospitalization during COVID.
