trump thinks "grocery" is an uncommon word, and that eggs are down 98%.

trump used to claim egg prices were down to 1950's levels, but now he is claiming that eggs are down to 1850's levels.

"They have a term, ‘grocery.’ It’s an old term, but it means basically what you’re buying: food. It’s a pretty accurate term, but it’s an old-fashioned sound, but groceries are down. Costs are down, eggs are down. They were, first week they were hitting me with ‘Eggs were up 200%’ and now they’re down to a number that is amazing. We’re down 97, 98% from where they were. And everybody, they said, ‘You won’t have eggs for Easter.’ Well, everybody had eggs for Easter at a very reasonable price."

Crazy Trump tried to take credit for lowering egg prices.

Well Maybe with " grocery " prices being so low that is why the House Conservatives think they can cut over a trillion dollars out of the budget that was for Food and healthcare for the poor and give larger tax cuts to the rich.

We have a nut-case as president. He is an embarrassment.
 
We are blessed...;) Think of the alternative...

Yeah! A woman who wouldn't be trying to figure out how to get bribes from every corrupt leader on earth. A woman who didn't think she discovered the word "equalize". A woman who would NOT have cratered the stock market and then acted like the recovery is somehow a credit to her.
 
Crazy leftists tried to blame Trump for bird flu.

No, the Left were quite clear that egg prices were high due to Bird Flu (something the President has no control over) so we were telling you all that he would NOT be able to lower egg prices by fiat. You didn't believe us until he got into office and had to break his egg price promise quickly. At that point you all learned that egg prices were in fact largely impacted by bird flu.

Now you know.
 
If trump had claimed to lower egg prices by 50%, it would have been possibly believable. He is claiming to have lowered egg prices by 98%. Are you buying a dozen eggs for a dime?
Mine come out of my chickens.. I do not buy them from a store.
 
Has egg prices gone down by 98%? Or is trump making up a bizarre lie?

Trump cannot lie. Whatever he says is, by definition, truth. Even if reality fails to comport with it, it is still truth.

In reality, since becoming President of the United States and Leader of the World, Donald J. Trump has arranged with chickens that they will not only up production for everyone but they will ALSO now produce Trump-branded "Goldy Eggs"(tm) (requires a subscription).

And they get so violent when you try to bring them to reality. It is getting scary out there.

He's probably mathing it wrong. Why would I care?

I didn't care when he did as he promised and began working on lowering prices on day one. Let's do what some other poster tried on me on another thread and see what AI has to say:

Here's a breakdown of what he said and what it likely meant:
  • "Immediately bring prices down, starting on Day One": This was a frequent campaign promise, implying a swift and significant drop in the cost of goods, including groceries, according to Senator Cory Booker.
  • Context of Egg Prices: Trump made these broad promises about lowering prices in the context of rising inflation and high grocery costs, with egg prices often specifically mentioned as a symbol of the problem.

However, it's important to note:
  • No specific promise solely about eggs: Trump did not explicitly say he would lower egg prices "on day one" in isolation, but rather included them as part of a larger promise to tackle inflation and reduce the cost of living.
  • Implied intent: While he didn't use the exact phrase "begin making prices lower", the promise to "immediately bring prices down" suggests an intention to start the process of price reduction from the very beginning of his term.
In Conclusion: Trump's promise was about a broad, immediate price reduction, not a specific guarantee of lower egg prices or a gradual approach.
 
And they get so violent when you try to bring them to reality. It is getting scary out there.

In all actuality it is the "anti-reality" thing they do that drives me the most nuts. I mean we can disagree on core concepts but still agree on things which happen in reality. But not in debates with MAGA. They will take actual video footage of an event and somehow recontextualize it to be whatever it isn't, just so long as it makes Trump look good.

I am kind of heartened that some Righties are getting their knickers in a twist over the Qatari Hamas Force One jet, it at least indicates there's a buried soul in the movement SOMEWHERE. Even just a speck of one would be appreciated.
