    This is insane. They could have kept playing MAGA like a fiddle, but he had to open his mouth. The people who believe in trump, that I have interacted with, think that low prices are part of the plan that will happen alongside the racism. I am expecting orange boy to say the secretary didn’t actually mean that.

      It just indicates that Trump doesn’t care what they think any more. He’s no longer trying to please voters. They have done their job and where he’s taking the USA, there won’t be voters. Besides, he knows they’ll always be with him when it comes to hurting people they don’t like. Expensive eggs won’t change their bigotry.

        But it will disenfranchise all the people who voted for him because “cheaper eggs”. Like I was saying, those people thought it was in the plan until the secretary put that out. People are currently suffering because of the cost of living, hearing that quote will be a direct slap in their face after selling their morals for cheaper goods. We still have yet to see the damage/damage control.

          The media will successfully deflect blame away from Trump’s government. These people are eager to believe any story except that they’ve been hoodwinked.

            Didn’t Elon already tweet that Joe Biden ordered 150 million chickens to be killed in order to raise egg prices?

            These people have the memory of a goldfish, they’ll buy it.

            I am not really talking about the fanatics. Nothing that happens will sway their faith in their god king.

      Trump never said he would lower prices. Trump has always said higher prices are better. Oceania has always been at war with Eurasia.

      Don’t worry, they’ll just move the goalposts for him when he can’t lower prices and starts saying this too.
