text:  In recent weeks, the administration has applauded Target, Walmart, and other grocery chains for beginning to, quote, answer the president's call to lower prices for household goods. In a speech last week, top White House economist Lael Brainard said grocery store margins remain elevated relative to pre-pandemic times. Brainard said some grocery stores are answering the president's call and lowering prices on thousands of items. This is smart, but corporations have to do more to bring their prices down. Now, again, this is an absurdity, and Trump should point it out. He should say, Joe, if your economy is so good, why are you having to blackmail corporations into lowering their prices?
