“Shut up about egg prices” – Donald Trump goes off deep end about collapsing economy
It’s only taken six weeks for Donald Trump to send the US economy into a tailspin, with consumer prices skyrocketing, the stock market dropping, and consumer confidence plummeting. So what is Trump’s answer to clean up the mess he made? Even more tariffs. Also, he’s getting rather defensive about how bad things are getting.
This morning Trump shared an article on social media with the headline “Shut up about egg prices.” Uh, no, nice try. The media made the 2024 election entirely about the price of eggs, insisting that they were too high under President Biden. Now that Trump’s disastrous policies have made eggs (and other consumer goods) far more expensive than ever, you’d better believe we’re going to keep talking about it.
This gives away that Trump is truly out of ideas. No cognitively competent person would watch the past six weeks play out and then decide that the best way forward is to enact even more tariffs while suggesting that the American people “shut up” about the economy.
