'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.

    You suggested you could not be racist because you identify with marginalized peoples but that overlooks the fact that these people would also internalize racism as they live in a racist society so what did you fix?

    Im rejecting the notion you have fixed your racism because you literally make a racist claim while doing so.

        And I disagree that people can break free. You literally used a racist notion, namely that marginalized people cannot be racist as a virtue of their race, to argue that you were not racist because you identify more as that population. Does that mean your work was successful or does it mean you missed this bit of yourself?

        I think we can be cognizant of our racism but I don’t think it ever gets resolved. I think you can do work to reduce it but it pops up in places and in ways we do not expect because it is pernicious.
