That story is completely unbelievable. He would never be that polite to a reporter.

According to him there is also another "new" word called affordability.

"They use the word 'affordability,' and that's their only word. They say, 'Affordability,' and everyone says, 'Oh, that must mean Trump has high prices.' No, our prices are coming down tremendously," Trump said. "They have a new word. They always have a hoax. The new word is 'affordability,' so they look at the camera and they say this election is all about affordability."

EDIT: I ate the Onion, thinking the groceries thing was real. However the quote I pasted is real.

The onion continues to delve deeper and lower to find the humor ahead of where these clowns are, but when you look at what it takes to now establish the normal basis agsinst which the punchline lands, it's so fucking depressing.

Replace grocery with shrubbery. Suddenly it all makes sense. How we got here.

It's an old-fashioned but beautiful word for a bag with different things in it.
