One day, all the motherfuckers who voted Trump will explain to you that they're disappointed, they've been took, this isn't what they voted for, and they're just as much a victim of the fascist US regime as you are. That will be the time to punch them as hard as possible in the fucking face. Because they knew. They all knew.

The best time to kick their cunts in was 2015. Today is the next best time.

They will never admit that. Just punch them...

You’re right about everything except the price of eggs. They’ve definitely come down. They were like $7 for a dozen a few months back.

Edit: what’s the point of downvoting somebody that is stating facts and is not wrong? Is it just to push the facts lower in the thread so fewer people see facts?

And now their $6.75 when they used to be $3. Huge improvement.

What city is this? I checked my receipts when replying to another comment. Here’s my prices for 18 eggs

1 year ago: 3.69

Dec 28th: 4.99

Current: 4.29

Oh damn, I just paid like $8 for a dozen, but I'm living in Hawaii.

Damn… What was it in Feb when it was at the max?

[–] Speculater@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago

It's kind of always about $8-9. I think mainland sourced eggs might have went up a little.

Its lower than it was a few months ago but still twice as high as last year

I guess it depends on where you live and all, but in general, you’re probably just wrong. Just checked my Kroger receipt from a year ago and it was $3.69 for 18 eggs. It is currently $4.29 for the same eggs.

As a matter of fact, my receipt from Dec 28th shows prices were 4.99.

There plenty of things you can use to bash Trump on, but eggs aren’t one.

I exaggerated, but according to the BLS:

Oct 2023: $2.07
Mar 2025: $6.23
Jul 2025: $3.60

So they're cheaper than they were at their peak in March but still not "down". I wasn't the one grilling Trump on egg prices, just want to clarify that he certainly hasn't actually lowered them anywhere near where they were. They're still way overpriced from the norm.

Overall I think Egg prices just aren’t the example to use. It’s too easy for MAGA to refute. Even the website you shared shows their prices skyrocketing before Trump took office and dropping within Trump’s first 100 days in office.

If I were Trump, I would be using Egg prices as a sign of how well my administration was doing.

The reality is, he has nothing to do with egg prices, just like Biden didn’t. Associating it with Trump means you need to credit him with the good and not just the bad.
