One of many principal causes folks voted for Donald Trump was the worth of groceries, particularly eggs.
Regardless of inflation being tamed by President Joe Biden, eggs have been nonetheless a bit larger final November than earlier than the COVID-19 pandemic, which killed over 300,000 folks throughout Trump’s first presidency.
A slim majority voted Republican in 2024, many for the promise of cheaper eggs. How’s that working for us? Not so good. Eggs at the moment are twice the worth they have been when Democrats misplaced the election. Some blame hen influenza; some blame inflation.
Trump’s choose for secretary of the Division of Well being and Human Providers, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., is unlikely to manage the hen flu since he’s anti-vax. If hen flu jumps into the human inhabitants, 1000’s extra folks will die. You may thank Republican senators who confirmed RFK’s nomination, together with different Cupboard secretaries whose solely qualification is loyalty to Trump.
Republicans’ insurance policies carry cheaper eggs? You’ve been fooled once more.
