    I mean, the price increase of eggs is largely because of the bird flu. I criticize him at every opportunity, but he doesn’t have a ton of control over that.

      When he ran on that specific thing he better figure it out. And why is America seeing increases when other places are not?

      The down votes are because people are mad that you’re right.

      However they made it a campaign issue so it’s fair game

      I think bird flu is a convenient excuse for price gouging, just like we saw during pandemic. He could easily address that if he wanted to. He just doesn’t care.

      Well, he made the cost of eggs one of his main campaign topics. He had absolute control over that.

      There are people who will argue about bird flu influencing the price. However, when it comes to the Trump Administration, they will only blame the previous administration. They won’t try to take any responsibility for failing to meet the expectations of lowering the price that they promised.
