'Shut Up About Egg Prices': Trump Shares Brazen Message About High Costs
www.huffpost.com
The president posted a column from conservative activist Charlie Kirk telling people to stop complaining about egg prices.

Summary

Trump recently shared a provocative column on Truth Social titled “Shut Up About Egg Prices — Trump Is Saving Consumers Millions,” written by conservative activist Charlie Kirk.

This comes despite Trump’s campaign promises to reduce grocery costs “immediately” and “on Day 1.” Egg prices have soared to record highs, averaging $4.95/dozen in January and exceeding $10/dozen in some regions, leading to purchase limits and shortages.

While bird flu has significantly impacted prices by killing millions of chickens since 2022, Trump has shifted from his campaign stance, recently telling Fox News “Inflation is back” but claiming “I had nothing to do with it” after just weeks in office.

    One thing to keep in mind is that some of us also grew up poor and with extreme neglect and trauma. I actually feel closer to people of color, and immigrants, than I do with my own white Americans. Marginalized people stick together.

        lol and I would suggest you learn about projection my friend. We see what we don’t like about ourselves most in other people. I see more love and hope than I see hate and evil because I work to cultivate both daily.

            lol…i didn’t say i couldn’t be racist, i said people that do work can break free. i agree that it can be internalized, as I know all of the traumas laid into us by society, our families, our countries, our socioeconomic standing, etc.

            I am a practicing buddhist and long time meditator. I know the difference between the thoughts that arise from my programming and my true self. I am not my body, I am not my mind.

                Again, I never said marginalized people can’t be racist. If you think I did, I would suggest again to look internally.

                Thank you for the unsolicited advice, I always appreciate people that try to help. I would also point out, that sometimes people’s need to express a point that is important to them, clouds the message that they are trying to express. I don’t see myself as one that needs guidance from others, I have the universe and my self, and the writings of those that came before me to do that.

                But, I still love you, because I see myself when I was younger in you. I did the same thing

                    Yes, you have things to offer. So far, you are correct in that they don’t seem to be things I need, as you have only expressed things I have already learned, and either accepted, or discarded. Yet, you continue to try to give them to me. I hope you have a good rest of your day!
