Oh come on—you two know each other well enough by now that when you get into these tit-for-tats is obviously something you've both figured out you can avoid, but choose not to.
Anyway, back on topic: coffee prices may be higher at the grocery store, but I think that's due to domestic roasting labour and distribution, rather than cost of goods. I just checked, and a decent unroasted single-origin Costa Rican is still going for about $9/lb.

"Coffee Prices Surge 20% Since Last Year—Here's What To Know As They Hit Record Highs"
Here’s Why Your Coffee Has Become So Expensive
"In July, President Donald Trump imposed tariffs of 50% on Brazil and 20% on Vietnam, the two countries that together produce more than half of the world’s coffee beans, adding supply disruptions to the droughts coffee producers were already facing.
The spike comes as grocery prices rise broadly, with grocery prices increasing 0.6% from July to August and 2.7% from the same point last year, according to the Consumer Price Index, the most commonly cited inflation report."

Trump is not lowering the cost of food or anything that people consider necessities .

Moon said even the cornerstone alone was sufficient for this.
So even if they're entirely revamp the Kimmel show, or go so far as to get a new host, as long as the cornerstone remains—the former Masonic Temple in Hollywood where it is hosted—then it should still be considered biased agitprop?
Don't think I didn't notice the necrobump and topic change. But see, we can tie it all together.

Simple question, what structure is the East Wing part of?

Simple answer. Nothing.
It's attached to the 1792 residence.
But it's not part of the 1792 residence.
The East Wing was 100 years old.
It is now being updated.
Changes are made all the time.
Example - The Oval Office has only been in the West Wing since 1934.

So the East Wing of the white house is not part of the white house?
News to me and I'm sure every single person.
Unless you are referring to the fact that it literally is no longer attached to the Whitehouse.
Btw you are incorrect

Wrong. The White House complex is considered to be one building. But the real question is why is Trump prioritizing this reno over bringing down food prices?

It's three different sections that are different ages by more than 100 years and are attached. He's not 'demolishing the white house'. He's renovating a newer wing in the complex.
And no ... the real question is why are you so emotionally invested in campaigning against Trump, a foreign president, that you keep deflecting in every topic to 'food prices' in America? Kinda odd.

The complex is considered to be one building, so you are wrong. I don't care what he's doing to it as other leaders have also done renos to it.
I'm trying to point out your leader's priorities are not serving the American people first, which you don't seem to care about, that type of non-emotional lack of any investment in your people's and country's needs seems very odd to me.

What I find odd is that you do seem to understand that a eastwing of any structure tends to have a main structure. Ya know, hense the eastwing part. Kinda in the name fan.
