  1. If that strongly worded letter doesn’t work, nothing will. 

  2. I have not heard of one thing he has done to improve the lives of the America people since becoming President again. WTF!!! Further, 25% tariffs coming February 1st will really hurt most Americans. Who can afford that? Owning the libs is going to be expensive…SMH.

  3. He is discussing the implementation of tariffs on various countries during his initial week in office. What measures will he take to reduce prices?

  4. It’s odd that people are still surprised when Trump tells another lie. It should be the opposite by now where we are surprised if he says something true.

  5. But you know one thing he did do? Raise prescription drug prices.

    He’s a liar and America fell for it… Again.

  6. I was told tariffs would solve this, are you telling me they won’t?!

  7. Hammer him on what he said he would do every day. The media will catch up but only if you force the issue.

    Vance said groceries were a top priority – if they don’t bring them down, hammer them.

  8. Interesting point, up until this week, eggs at my grocery store were like 2.75 for a dozen. Yesterday day when I went they were 4.75. So if we’re playing by Repubs rules this is 100% Donald trumps fault

  9. Democrats need to stop trying to combat this with logic . Bring this up and MAGA will just say “ politicians break a lot of campaign promises “

    When he does something they like he’s the best politician ever and no one even compares to his amazingness .
    When he does something they don’t like : “oh lots of politicians do stuff like that !”

    Rince, repeat.

  10. Eggs went from $3.69 last week to $4.79 this week in central ohio. What happened to cheaper eggs?

  11. If you didn’t notice, everyone stopped talking about food prices as soon as he won the election.

  12. It was never really about the price of eggs …his supporters don’t care. What they really want is hate cruelty, revenge and ultimately …absolute power.

  13. There is a silver lining folks. He’s going to collapse the economy. He’s going to do it at a pace that hurts people quickly rather than slowly. Most people that don’t usually think about future prospects will be forced to. When you don’t see the change coming you acclimate, when it punches you in the face you react. This is not an attack on one front. They’re coming for everything all at once because they know they’re not going to have another chance. Don’t let them flip the Monopoly board. You may not be a millionaire, but everyone’s pieces are flying off the table.

  14. Oh boy I sure am glad we can high five over these triumphant “slams” while they laugh at us and dismantle democracy.

    4 more years (maybe a lot more) of “HAH! GOTCHA! THATS ILLEGAL!” while they continue to not give a fuck about the law and do it anyways.

    We’re cooked.

  15. I’ve been enjoying asking Trumpers when I can expect action on it

    They don’t like that question

  16. This is the way. Relentless criticism and obstruction. Dems need to give what they got. Now EVERYTHING that isn’t 100% perfect in the world is on him.

  17. Oh no, not a ‘Slamming’! That’ll do it, for sure.

  18. Republicans while going broke: “Ha Ha! Jokes on you! We never really cared!”

  19. I love hearing from Trump voters I know who, all of a sudden, know how economics work and are well aware of avian flu.

    It’s almost like the talking points during the campaign were complete bullshit and they don’t like when the same thing is turned on them.

  20. This is the way.

    Scream it from the rooftops if you have to. Every mistake, be there. Go everywhere, be everywhere, pound it into their heads.

  21. Since when did he care about promises? I think there’s already huge list of broken one from his past “regime”

  22. Trump will lower the price of eggs… by ending food inspections.

    Health And Human Services are under a gag order which is likely to continue under RFk Jr’s. control, so expect the FDA to not report recalls to the public.

    And with all that, I still don’t expect eggs to go down to what they were when Trump took office. Too much money for agribusiness to make off the new reality.

  23. Magas: He’s obviously not lowering grocery prices immediately to drive the libs crazy! I love it! Thank you president trump!

  24. He also promised that he would be able to negotiate a ceasefire between Ukraine and Russia before even entering office. He is one week into his presidency and he has failed on two major campaign promises. That is a failure in record time.

  25. Let’s not forget the “lower energy prices by 50% within the first year.”

  26. Supposed to end war in Ukraine in first 24 hr. What happened?

  27. I have been granted a vision of the future.

    >1: Democrats keep keep holding Trump to his promises about eggs.

    >2: Trump finds out that eggs are expensive because farmers cull entire flocks when avian flu is detected.

    >3: “One bird coughs and they gotta kill them all? That’s dumb, that’s stupid, we’re gonna cut that red tape and make farming great again.”

    >4: His base have been primed to hate all regulation and distrust any attempts to control diseases, they cheer him on. CDC isn’t allowed to comment.

    >5: Egg prices fall, media hails Trump’s great success.

    >6: Human transmission pandemic declared, oh, I dunno, October? October sounds good.

  28. The narrative changed in the Republican streamer comment sections. Now instead of Day 1 all prices are going down it’s “He Just got into office, you need to give him time”

  29. Honestly, “X slams Y because of Z” is the easiest way to get me to skip over a headline these days. But also, fuck Trump.

  30. But he raise insulin price by 10x immediately, so egg price feels much cheaper compared to medicine prices. This is relativity

  31. They should be on the news every day SCREAMING about how bad America has gotten under Trump. It worked when republicans did it

  32. MAGA’s response so far has been “the libs don’t understand how things work. The President can’t just snap his fingers and make it happen.”

  33. Saw my first “i did that” trump sticker. I give it 9 months before it is a felony to be in possession of one of those.

  34. I think I’m just going to filter out posts with the word “slam” in the title and save myself a whole bunch of eye rolls.

  35. And will his voters even fucking remember or care? They didn’t vote for him because eggs are expensive they voted for him so they could vicariously enact their hatred towards others.

  36. If Harris had made unreasonable promises of things that were going to happen “on day one”, sure as shit MAGAs would have been making a big deal about it. The difference is she is smarter than to make such unreasonable claims, trump is not. He did raise prescription prices though, and he is working hard on raising coffee, gasoline, fresh fruit, and cut flower prices as we speak.

  37. Dems. This messaging DOES NOT GO FAR ENOUGH! Flood the zone right back.
    – raised drug prices
    – rejecting allies
    – continuing to pander to dictators (N. Korea and Russia)
    – cut funding to Ukraine and in turn decreasing funding for OUR defense industry as most funds stayed in the US
    – assault on our infrastructure through both cancellations of contracts and funding but also selecting EPA leaders that will allow for more pollution to our other natural resources
    – making women and minorities feel unsafe
    – tariffs are a HUGE tax increase for us
    – lack of concerns about inflation
    – increasing harassment on people contributing to our economy and our social security while never being able to withdraw from those benefits

    FFS. This message is good-ish but we are barely getting into this and Mango Mussolini isn’t slowing down.
