The frustrating thing here is that it was possible to know that the President doesn't really have a lot of power over the price of things before the election, and not vote based on something that Trump can't fix. "All Presidents must answer for the price of $ITEM" is a terrible way to vote.

The high price of eggs is in no way President Trump’s fault
To be fair - that is true. It's not like he infected all the birds.
However, if you're the president that just slapped a bunch of tariffs on neighboring countries ... optics looking kinda bad ngl.
I'm actually smart enough to understand this. But they blamed Biden for shit that he had no control over so I'm going to be spiteful and blame everything bad on Trump.
This blame game goes two ways Republicans. See you at the midterms.

Not entirely true, as H5N1 isnt working to do this on its own. He's made nondocumented workes feel unsafe so it's hard for them to work. Specifically in the low wage work one finds on a farm, especially if the work is in a red state. Look at Kentucky, for example.
Ah, ye that makes sense. Kinda forgot about that aswell. Thanks for pointing it out!

Biden is the worst it will be fixed as soon as I get in there... Gets in there: this isn't my fault stop whining.
We need some trump did this stickers to match the biden ones.
He should be sieg-heiling instead of pointing. It's amazing how many people out there don't realize he's a full on fucking nazi.

I think the businesses should start putting them up. In the cases of things affected by his stupid tariffs, it will actually be true in this case.
I agree completely. But no one with a business seems to want their wrath.

I love the way Trump says it's going to hurt a lot before it gets better.
Why?
What's even stupider is that he still has the support he has. I'd love to start seeing more man on the street interviews asking the redcaps if they voted FOR tariffs. If they stupidly say yes, because, hey, they are a fucking cult, I want the follow-up question to be WHY? What do they think it will really do, in the short term? Also ask them why the CHIPS program was killed, if they are so interested in American jobs....

Don't pay any attention to egg prices. The economy is great actually.
Now where have I heard that in the past few months?
The qons are saying it's a bad economy, even though they inherited a very strong economy. They are of course blaming the downturn which is thanks to little d's games with tariffs, on Biden.
Of course they also act like it was Biden out there strangling millions of chickens himself to mess with the egg supply.

"You have served your purpose peons, now go away while my buddies dismantle your country"
“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.
This is what Murca needs. More lies and long cons. Murca was lied to, and Krasnov only needed 1/3 of them to fall for it.
MAGA supporter: “iT wAs NeVeR aBoUt tHe PriCe of EgGs. yOu’Re MiSsiNG tHe PoInT.”
They are the egg men.
"Hey, I need you all to calm down. I'm laying these as fast as I can."

We handed the country over to a dictator because of eggs. The least he could do to say thank you is lower their prices.
just goes to show you that he doesn’t give two shot about anyone but himself, and SOMETIMES his family…. 1/3rd of america voted for this, because they wanted to be able to discriminate again.
