Summary
Trump recently shared a provocative column on Truth Social titled “Shut Up About Egg Prices — Trump Is Saving Consumers Millions,” written by conservative activist Charlie Kirk.
This comes despite Trump’s campaign promises to reduce grocery costs “immediately” and “on Day 1.” Egg prices have soared to record highs, averaging $4.95/dozen in January and exceeding $10/dozen in some regions, leading to purchase limits and shortages.
While bird flu has significantly impacted prices by killing millions of chickens since 2022, Trump has shifted from his campaign stance, recently telling Fox News “Inflation is back” but claiming “I had nothing to do with it” after just weeks in office.
We’re all going to spend the next four years finding out how expensive maintaining the Republican ego-driven sense of superiority will be. I vote blue not because I need to, but because I think it’s best for my peers and because I love my friends. At the end of the day though, I’m laughing at every price increase because if it gets to the point that I can’t afford food, there’s going to be about 250 million starving Americans in front of me pushing for change.
Damn, imagine the party of fiscal responsibility bankrupting the entire working class and that registering in the consciousness of the conservatwats. One can dream.
