President Donald Trump simply can’t cease mendacity about egg costs.
“Gas and grocery prices are WAY DOWN, just like I said they would be. Eggs are plentiful, and down 87%. NICE!” he wrote on Reality Social Thursday.
The fact is that egg costs are up and gasoline and grocery costs are nonetheless larger than when Trump took workplace. And tariffs have solely simply begun to hit, which can additional impression costs within the coming months.
Actuality has by no means deterred Trump from making daring lies, as he’s very happy to gaslight your complete nation—together with his personal base. However a humorous factor is occurring: These loopy MAGA supporters appear to be getting much less and fewer happy with Trump’s lies.
On Patriots.win, the far-right on-line discussion board created as a successor to the r/The_Donald subreddit, respondents haven’t taken evenly to Trump’s Reality Social submit. Their responses had been shockingly and persistently destructive.
Right here’s a screenshot in case the thread will get deleted—a typical prevalence in conservative boards:
Let’s take a more in-depth have a look at a few of these feedback.
Greed is happening. Trump goes to need to publicly put the squeeze on the people who’re refusing to decrease costs on issues like gasoline and eggs (and plenty of others).
Keep in mind when Vice President Kamala Harris proposed cracking down on company greed, and conservatives screeched about “socialism?”
Costs will completely not drop so long as the free market is allowed to price-gouge shoppers, so I wouldn’t hate it if Trump set the precedent for a little bit socialism.
Sadly Trump is speaking about bulk costs. Ultimately, folks can pay no matter they assume one thing is price, and everybody takes benefit. Company greed.
Have a look at MAGA loyalists out of the blue discovering company greed! Looks like progress, doesn’t it? Or will they overlook all about it the second they will use excessive costs to assault Democrats?
Yeah, yeah … after all they’ll revert to kind as soon as Democrats are again in energy.
Groceries are nonetheless method larger than earlier than inflation. eggs usually are not again both, simply not $1 an egg anymore. simply because they will’t keep up as soon as they cease killing chickens. however surprisingly nonetheless $4.99 a dozen at albertsons. was once $1.50 earlier than inflation per dozen.
It truly is fascinating how Trump has lied in such a method that even his most loyal supporters are beginning to get pissed off.
Regardless of all the screaming about trans children and immigrants, Trump gained predominantly on his promise to decrease costs. And for the primary time maybe ever, a Republican presidential candidate gained the vote amongst these making lower than $50,000 per 12 months—people who find themselves now actually feeling costs rising.
Trump offered these voters on the promise that he would decrease costs on Day 1, and as silly as that promise was—and as silly as Trump is—folks had been determined sufficient to vote for it.
However these aren’t individuals who will out of the blue overlook that costs are nonetheless kicking their asses. So Trump telling them that these costs are “WAY DOWN” isn’t flying.
As a lot as I need the election to be about democracy, abortion rights, due course of, and all that good things, if we would like an enormous blue tsunami, it’s going to be on the financial system and nothing else.
I’m not saying that we should always ignore the opposite stuff! Trump definitely didn’t ignore the base-building stuff like transphobia and anti-immigrant xenophobia. However once we message the broader citizens, it needs to be financial system, financial system, financial system.
Shit went up like 30%, down by 1 %… general nonetheless up 29%… MISSION ACCOMPLISHED
Individuals are pissed. You possibly can really feel the disdain.
Unpopular take, however correct. He is speaking as if the issue is solved and it is nowhere close to solved. He’ll lose a whole lot of help among the many fencesitters if he is simply going to mud his fingers off now and say, “OK…that is sufficient of that.
Trump’s downside is that he by no means gave a rattling about grocery costs or serving to folks, so he’s having a tough time pretending to care about inflation.
For the love of god, Trump, STFU
Think about that—we’re discovering widespread floor with MAGA!
Yeah, identical to the Democrats he thinks the folks that voted for him are retards. Birds of a feather.
Ummm…..
Nothing incorrect with a little bit little bit of gaslighting however celebrating now smells unhealthy. Decrease taxes and repair the tariff scenario first (please).
Is there something extra MAGA than “nothing wrong with a little bit of gaslighting?”
The impression is that nothing extra will probably be achieved to repair the costs. We should always settle for crumbs as an alternative of the entire cookie.
That has all the time been the Trump method! Why are folks now appearing shocked that he doesn’t give a rattling about anybody?
I believe President Trump and the admin do not understand that individuals are preserving a extremely sharp eye on gasoline and grocery costs and NOBODY goes to imagine bullshit statements about how costs are taking place. This isn’t a sensible technique as a result of what we see as exaggeration, most are going to interpret as a lie.
It’s a lie. Additionally, it’s an exaggeration. The 2 usually are not mutually unique.
I doubt he is set foot in a grocery store in many years.
I imply, Trump does assume that the phrase “grocery” is an old school time period.
“It’s such an old-fashioned term but a beautiful term: groceries. It sort of says a bag with different things in it,” he stated.
So I don’t assume it’s a stretch to say that he has by no means set foot in a grocery store—aside from for a photograph op. He hasn’t needed to ever fear about shopping for groceries as a result of somebody has all the time achieved it for him.
Congrats, MAGA, you’re simply studying this now.
I want he would cease mendacity about this. Inflation on the grocery retailer has nearly come to a halt, however I’m not seeing costs for something go DOWN, aside from possibly 20-30% for eggs, that are nonetheless about $ 4 a dozen right here. For reference, they had been $ 1-1.50/dozen throughout his first time period.
Individuals are taking shut notice of costs as a result of they don’t have any alternative. They usually certain as hell will discover when costs begin going again up due to Trump’s tariffs and the mass deportation of agriculture employees.
To be very clear, I’m nonetheless not seeing any main erosion in Trump’s help in any polling. Republicans nonetheless again him to the hilt. However this type of unease and discontent will solely develop because the financial system heads south.
If something, I’m simply shocked that one of the ardently pro-Trump corners of the web is already having these kinds of misgivings. However, hey, I’ll take what I can get.
