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.
Everything’s normal. This is what you voted for, Murca!
ETA For those following these comments:
Given the track record of those in the current ruling class of Murca, I agree with those comments which suggest we can exchange the placement of “malice” and “stupidity”.
Krasnov just DGAF about the plebs who voted for him, at best. At worst, he’s actively destroying the economy, democracy, and the plebs he lied to.
America, the only country dumb enough to fall for a rapist felon’s promises…twice.
And then blame the system for a choice they willingly made.
2020: “I can’t believe they fell for that. Oh, well, they chose better next time. Let’s give them a chance.”
2024: “…Yeah, they’re just fucking dumb. Countless countries would have loved a chance to get rid of a shitstain like that without needing a violent revolt and the United States just… invited him back into office. Just… so fucking dumb.”
No matter what option our country is pretty fucked
he cheated and rigged it
people were conned by him
people don’t care that he is a terrible person, rapist and liar.
blind men following the one-eyed dumbass.
I think it’s far more sinister than that. In this case, I attribute to malice what could be explained by incompetence.
Trump is a dangerous combination of incompetence and malice
There is a heavy element of malice here, but lest we forget there’s also more incompetence than any other administration in history, even the first Trump admin.
