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.

    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.

      Dems could have beaten him every time. They didn’t.

      Dems are not a reliable solution to this problem, and nor is the broken federal electoral system in general. You cannot vote your way out of this mess. Republicans will continue to suppress the vote of people they don’t like. The owning class have purchased the newspapers, television stations and social media platforms. It’s a rigged game.

      Organize in your communities if you want any real power.

        We need both, and community organizing turns into party primaries really quick.
