“The high price of eggs is in no way President Trump’s fault,” Kirk writes. “Almost all the increase took place during Biden’s final months in office.”

This attempt at misdirection is so artfully sleazy I have to appreciate it. It should be taught in classes.

It’s still misdirection, though. It doesn’t matter WHO was in office, or WHAT the price of eggs was. Trump campaigned on the promise to lower those prices.

He’s not annoyed because the public doesn’t understand. He’s annoyed at the public for having the audacity to call him out on his bullshit.

Wonder why people blame him for eggs?

“shutupshutupshutupeggpricesshutupshutupshutUP!”

Classic GOP. Campaign on fixing something that they blame another admin for and then turn around and say they can’t control that thing to fulfill on their promise.

"Why are you talking about that? You can't talk about that! Biden isn't in charge anymore, we're all done talking about that!"

He knows he looks bad there.

Where are the "I did this!" stickers?

Nah, when people were saying "egg prices are high and he said he'd lower them" for why they voted for him on election night, and i knew he wasn't going to be able to do much, even if he tried, i knew I'd be bitterly watching the egg prices until armageddon. it felt like people's big reason for why, that wasn't just hating immigrants.

it's bitterness on my part, but it's also a tactic for better people to remind voters of a promise he made that they can immediately see he didn't keep. it's a way for people who voted for him to justify voting against him and his party in the midterms. that doesn't mean they have to care about, like, democracy, or people who aren't like them, and so on. they can save face.

Imagine if this had been under Biden. They'd have been banging on about how he caused it constantly. A fickle unthinking bunch.

i haven't, but know you mention it....

That "article", though. I thought I had just read the intro, but it was the whole thing. It's this what passes for online journalism now?

Alright, I gotta ask. How much is a dozen eggs costing you guys right now?
