‘Shut up about egg prices’: Trump shares brazen message about high costs (www.huffpost.com)

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.

...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 cannot let Trump get away with claiming that he campaigned on lowering inflation. Trump campaigned on reducing prices, not slowing the rate at which they increase.

Everyone with two brain cells knew he wouldn't be able to do that. Now he can't even seem to keep inflation low, which it already was the last year of the Biden administration.

Oh but we are going to let him get away with it, just like we've allowed him to get away with everything in his first term. This piece of shit is going to die like a wet fart and we're going to allow it. Because we're mostly sayers, not doers. We'll say we'll do this, but won't do it. We keep hoping for karma or some invisible deity to come in and save us, but it won't ever happen.

The reason Trump is ever in office both times, was because he is the poster-boy for hate, bigotry, ignorance and all things that incels, racists, xenophobes and bigots all look up to. They feel if he's office, they get to get away with everything because there'll be nobody or nothing to slow them down and this administration will enable it.

God fucking bless america. /s

One of their biggest campaign promises just broken. All those grocery stores that had to host this sack of shit for nothing.

Everything about this dude is so off-putting. He just looks condescending in every picture

[-] MutilationWave@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 10 hours ago

He'd look so much more normal without the eyeliner.

It's almost like he lied just to get into office and then do whatever he wanted.

[-] venotic@kbin.melroy.org 16 points 11 hours ago

He lied openly and his voterbase ate it the fuck up. Ate everything, unquestioned. Standing there with their stupid thick skulls nodding unashamedly "UH HUH! YUP! U DU U TRUMP, U HAVE MUH VOTE!".

My brother asked me if I was better off 4 years ago right before the election. I pointed out the USA had one of the best recoveries after the pandemic lock downs and asked what he think Trump would have done different. He didn't answer. Ignoring that 4 years ago we were filling the impacts of Trumps government, not Bidens, I have to ask if he's better off now than he was almost 4 months ago. I'm betting the honest answer would be no.

Criminals do tend to lie in an attempt to avoid prison.

Ok let's talk about the recession instead

[-] Lemmist@lemm.ee 100 points 15 hours ago

Can't Trump just declare the bird flu as nonsense like COVID? That'll surely fix the prices.

[-] CosmicTurtle0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 57 points 14 hours ago

Actually, what I fully expect from this administration is to have the USDA stop inspections and declare the bird flu over. If they are really brazen, they'll tell farmers to not cull the birds and to stop all testing of bird flu.

This is how our country dies.

[-] alaphic@lemmy.world 32 points 14 hours ago

I'm not happy about it or anything, but at least in this scenario it becomes entirely feasible for all of these fascist clowns to (technically anyway) choke to death on cock, so I'm understandably conflicted

The lack of response to the bird flu is clearly the speculation driver here.

I looked at the code for this a couple nights ago, the whole Navy seal copypasta is in there, lol.

For the uninitiated:

What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I'll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I've been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I'm the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You're fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that's just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little "clever" comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn't, you didn't, and now you're paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You're fucking dead, kiddo.

Charlie Kirk dropped out of an Evangelical junior college that is widely recognized as a degree mill.

He will never lower the price of eggs. And soon he will crash the economy. No one will have money for eggs, which will cost $20/dozen. He is crashing our Democracy & economy. I can't wait until he tries to remove all the gold bars from Treasury and flee the country.

I can see why so many news sites are trying to replace their writers with AI. This article is just a little bit of context followed by a dump of social media posts.
