Normally I would agree that the president had little effect on prices since that is largely the job of the Fed. But Trump being wishy washy on tariffs is really fucking things up. It is extremely hard for businesses to plan for shit when massive tariffs are planned, then delayed, then implemented for three fucking days before being held off again for a month. How the fuck are businesses suppose to do any sort of inventory planning when they don't know how much something is going to cost them if they hold off for a day to buy things. Or they bought in bulk under the assumption that they would have to pay significantly more later are now stuck with a ton of inventory they may not have room for.

So yes, in this case Trump is having a large effect on prices. If it was just tariffs, inflation would temporarily go up and the Fed would increase interest rates and the recession it causes would slow inflation. But the Fed can't plan for the dipshit president going back and forth in tariffs.

"Shut up about the issue that I could actually be solving, but instead I'm too busy bullying our allies and making things even more expensive"

Yeah, no. Fuck off Mango Mussolini

That just makes me want to talk more about egg prices. Also fuck Charlie Kirk, I hope his face keeps shrinking until it disappears.

“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.

Ok let's talk about the recession instead

Ha ha ha the Orange Turd can’t even get egg prices down.

Next on TV: "There is no discussion about egg prizes. Eggs don't even exist!"

Where's the Trump "I did this" stickers like I saw at gas pumps with Biden, anyway? At least this one would have some semblance of truth to it, with the bird flu mismanagement.

Here's a picture of egg prices on Saturday March eighth, twenty twenty-five (03/08/2025).

This is in SoCal at Aldi which typically has the lowest prices in the area.

Image transcription: picture of the cost of a dozen eggs on a fridge door in an Aldi grocery store, reading eight dollars and twelve cents.

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

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.

First: tax Musk and then give us all millions, then we can talk about the millions you are saving us.

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.
