...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.

"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

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

“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.

This shit is just getting too surreal. Democrats were literally not allowed to quote actual economic progress without being called "out of touch" but Trump can literally say "fuck you shut up."

Kirk also argued that Trump and the effort of his administration’s so-called Department of Government Efficiency will lead to savings for all Americans, and said egg prices will come down soon.

Everyone knows that illegally firing career federal employees results in lower prices on eggs...

/s

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

"SHUT UP ABOUT THE THING I SWORE TO YOU THAT I'D FIX DAY 1! STOP HOLDING ME ACCOUNTABLE! "

Conservatives always love censorship.

Never let them tell you otherwise.

Well, the Premier of Ontario just put a 25 % surcharge on the electricity that powers millions of homes in three states. I guess they won’t have to worry about the price of eggs if they can’t afford to cook them.

FAFO

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 swore I'd post this everytime Charlie Kirk gets mentioned, so here I am:

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.

Wasn't he going to lower the egg prices? Weren't they supposed to get tired of winning? Maybe he used the wrong sign in his addition.

Saving millions?? Goodness! That could be upwards of a dollar per person!

Dems can beat this man if they choose to stand for something and stop letting these Nazi's move their own goalpost 24/7. Use these 4 years to build and get serious about systematic change. There isn't going to be some sweeping redemption for Trump voters where they realize the errors of their ways.

His reality distortion field is collapsing.

Ok let's talk about the recession instead

Trump take egg :,(

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.

You know what is amusing - I bet the redcaps still drinking the little d kool-aid will do ANYTHING to stop talking about egg prices at this point.

I bet they start accusing State Media, oops, I mean, Faux "News", of being too "liberal" for talking about the cost of eggs - or really, the price of anything else. Same goes for talking about the Dow, the S&P 500, NASDAQ, TSLA after a bad day...
