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 Fact Social Thursday.
The fact is that egg costs are up and fuel and grocery costs are nonetheless increased than when Trump took workplace. And tariffs have solely simply begun to hit, which is able to additional impression costs within the coming months.
Actuality has by no means deterred Trump from making daring lies, as he’s more than pleased to gaslight your entire nation—together with his personal base. However a humorous factor is going on: 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 Fact Social put up. Their responses have been shockingly and persistently unfavorable.
Right here’s a screenshot in case the thread will get deleted—a typical incidence 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 should publicly put the squeeze on the people who’re refusing to decrease costs on issues like fuel 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 customers, so I wouldn’t hate it if Trump set the precedent for just a little socialism.
Sadly Trump is speaking about bulk costs. Ultimately, individuals pays no matter they assume one thing is price, and everybody takes benefit. Company greed.
Have a look at MAGA loyalists immediately discovering company greed! Seems like progress, doesn’t it? Or will they overlook all about it the second they will use excessive costs to assault Democrats?
Yeah, yeah … in fact they’ll revert to kind as soon as Democrats are again in energy.
Groceries are nonetheless approach increased than earlier than inflation. eggs aren’t 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 approach that even his most loyal supporters are beginning to get pissed off.
Regardless of the entire screaming about trans youngsters and immigrants, Trump received predominantly on his promise to decrease costs. And for the primary time maybe ever, a Republican presidential candidate received the vote amongst these making lower than $50,000 per yr—people who find themselves now actually feeling costs rising.
Trump bought 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—individuals have been determined sufficient to vote for it.
However these aren’t individuals who will immediately overlook that costs are nonetheless kicking their asses. So Trump telling them that these costs are “WAY DOWN” isn’t flying.
The excellent news is that’s what’s going to take down the GOP within the 2026 midterms.
As a lot as I need the election to be about democracy, abortion rights, due course of, and all that great things, if we would like a large blue tsunami, it’s going to be on the financial system and nothing else.
I’m not saying that we must 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 voters, it must be financial system, financial system, financial system.
Shit went up like 30%, down by 1 %… total nonetheless up 29%… MISSION ACCOMPLISHED
Individuals are pissed. You may 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 will lose plenty of assist among the many fencesitters if he is simply going to mud his arms off now and say, “OK…that is sufficient of that.
Trump’s drawback is that he by no means gave a rattling about grocery costs or serving to individuals, 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 frequent floor with MAGA!
Yeah, similar to the Democrats he thinks the folks that voted for him are retards. Birds of a feather.
Ummm…..
Nothing mistaken with just a little little bit of gaslighting however celebrating now smells dangerous. Decrease taxes and repair the tariff state of affairs first (please).
Is there something extra MAGA than “nothing wrong with a little bit of gaslighting?”
The impression is that nothing extra might be finished to repair the costs. We must always settle for crumbs as a substitute of the entire cookie.
That has all the time been the Trump approach! Why are individuals now appearing shocked that he doesn’t give a rattling about anybody?
I believe President Trump and the admin do not realize that persons are retaining a very sharp eye on fuel and grocery costs and NOBODY goes to imagine bullshit statements about how costs are happening. This isn’t a sensible technique as a result of what we see as exaggeration, most are going to interpret as a lie.
It is a lie. Additionally, it’s an exaggeration. The 2 aren’t mutually unique.
I doubt he is set foot in a grocery store in a long time.
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 finished 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 perhaps 20-30% for eggs, that are nonetheless about $ 4 a dozen right here. For reference, they have been $ 1-1.50/dozen throughout his first time period.
Individuals are taking shut be aware of costs as a result of they haven’t any alternative. They usually positive as hell will discover when costs begin going again up due to Trump’s tariffs and the mass deportation of agriculture staff.
To be very clear, I’m nonetheless not seeing any main erosion in Trump’s assist in any polling. Republicans nonetheless again him to the hilt. However this sort of unease and discontent will solely develop because the financial system heads south.
If something, I’m simply shocked that some of the ardently pro-Trump corners of the web is already having these types of misgivings. However, hey, I’ll take what I can get.
