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.

“I will immediately bring prices down starting on Day 1,” he said on Aug. 15, for example. “Starting the day I take the oath of office, I will rapidly drive prices down,” he promised later that same month.

He backed away from that last month.

Everything's normal. This is what you voted for, Murca!

ETA For those following these comments:

Hanlon's razor is an adage or rule of thumb that states: Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.

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.

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

[–] chaogomu@lemmy.world 8 points 5 hours ago

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.
