Dems can beat this man if they choose to stand for something and stop letting these Nazi's move their own goalpost 24/7. Use these 4 years to build and get serious about systematic change. There isn't going to be some sweeping redemption for Trump voters where they realize the errors of their ways.

Realistically, US can't wait 4 years if want survive.
This shit is just getting too surreal. Democrats were literally not allowed to quote actual economic progress without being called "out of touch" but Trump can literally say "fuck you shut up."
Victims are always held to higher standards.
Wasn't he going to lower the egg prices? Weren't they supposed to get tired of winning? Maybe he used the wrong sign in his addition.
He was supposed too but then like a million other things came up that he had to fix so don't worry about the stupid food right now ok . Cmon people, bootstraps, recession starts soon. Let's goooo🦾🦾🦾
On day one
He's making egg prices great again, I guess.
Conservatives always love censorship.
Never let them tell you otherwise.
Well, the Premier of Ontario just put a 25 % surcharge on the electricity that powers millions of homes in three states. I guess they won’t have to worry about the price of eggs if they can’t afford to cook them.
FAFO
We're all going to spend the next four years finding out how expensive maintaining the Republican ego-driven sense of superiority will be. I vote blue not because I need to, but because I think it's best for my peers and because I love my friends. At the end of the day though, I'm laughing at every price increase because if it gets to the point that I can't afford food, there's going to be about 250 million starving Americans in front of me pushing for change.
Damn, imagine the party of fiscal responsibility bankrupting the entire working class and that registering in the consciousness of the conservatwats. One can dream.
Ehh.. A lot of those states were blue.
Still doesn't mean I don't think it’s justified.
Michigan helped doom us. F them.
As somebody in Western NY state, I’m all for Ontario striking back.
As someone in Southern Ontario I want you guys to know that if there's anything we can do to help you get rid of the vicious cheeto-in-chief we've got your back. Feel free to "blame Canada!" if it helps that cause, but we're going to stand up to him, and you guys should too. We'll help any way we can. This is unacceptable.
Do exactly what you are doing.
More Americans need to be taking to the streets to protest. They are not showing up and they won't show up until it really starts hurting.
Too many of us are just unaware. And then there's those who are apathetic
That means a lot!
I'm in Buffalo specifically, so I'm basically right next to the border myself. I feel like we've always kinda felt a close sense of community with Canada here.
Our city hall flies both the American and Canadian flags. At the KeyBank Center we both the Star Spangled Banner and O Canada. We even have the Peace Bridge ffs.
These people who are in power right now are trying to drive us apart. We can't let them. Americans and Canadians are stronger than that.
Plenty of conservatives in those states to suffer along with their liberal counterparts. I'll be here with my popcorn.

The areas that get power from Canada are rural. And pretty red.
Yes and no. Plenty of blue areas will be affected, but that's not the point here.
The point is to send a message that it's not ok to threaten Canada and its sovereignty.
"Shut up about the issue that I could actually be solving, but instead I'm too busy bullying our allies and making things even more expensive"
Yeah, no. Fuck off Mango Mussolini
Hey didn't this rapist felon say he was going to immediately lower the cost of groceries and now we're losing trade wars and American goods are being taken off of foreign shelves and we're about to have a Trumpcession?
“I will immediately bring prices down starting on Day 1,” he said on Aug. 15, for example. “Starting the day I take the oath of office, I will rapidly drive prices down,” he promised later that same month.
He backed away from that last month.
Everything's normal. This is what you voted for, Murca!
ETA For those following these comments:
Hanlon's razor is an adage or rule of thumb that states: Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.
Given the track record of those in the current ruling class of Murca, I agree with those comments which suggest we can exchange the placement of "malice" and "stupidity".
Krasnov just DGAF about the plebs who voted for him, at best. At worst, he's actively destroying the economy, democracy, and the plebs he lied to.
America, the only country dumb enough to fall for a rapist felon's promises...twice.
blind men following the one-eyed dumbass.
I think it's far more sinister than that. In this case, I attribute to malice what could be explained by incompetence.
Trump is a dangerous combination of incompetence and malice
There is a heavy element of malice here, but lest we forget there's also more incompetence than any other administration in history, even the first Trump admin.
That just makes me want to talk more about egg prices. Also fuck Charlie Kirk, I hope his face keeps shrinking until it disappears.
If his mouth keeps shrinking at the current rate in just five months it should form a singularity and I'll never need to hear from the fucker again. If that singularity happens to swallow earth so be it - it'll be worth it.
Normally I would agree that the president had little effect on prices since that is largely the job of the Fed. But Trump being wishy washy on tariffs is really fucking things up. It is extremely hard for businesses to plan for shit when massive tariffs are planned, then delayed, then implemented for three fucking days before being held off again for a month. How the fuck are businesses suppose to do any sort of inventory planning when they don't know how much something is going to cost them if they hold off for a day to buy things. Or they bought in bulk under the assumption that they would have to pay significantly more later are now stuck with a ton of inventory they may not have room for.
So yes, in this case Trump is having a large effect on prices. If it was just tariffs, inflation would temporarily go up and the Fed would increase interest rates and the recession it causes would slow inflation. But the Fed can't plan for the dipshit president going back and forth in tariffs.
Broadly speaking it's nearly impossible for a US president to directly fix the economy, but they can easily break it.
rando firings that effect government entities that stabilize farm prices and respond to things like bird flu can have somewhat of an effect to.

What I find interesting about this is that we had a similar situation in the UK with Liz Truss. We had a PM who announced a surprise budget of tax cuts, which ok, were a little bit stronger than ones the Tories had done previously. This caused a shock to the bond markets, cost quite a lot of money and she was immediately removed from office by her own party and her budget cancelled.
Trump has caused chaos and cost the US billions with his tariff talk, alienated most western allies, damaged the US MIC enormously and caused deaths in Ukraine by cutting support. The damage done is incalculable, it is not in the same universe as the damage caused by Liz Truss. The only thing that makes sense is that Republican party want America ruined and they aren't going to stop unless they are forced to. I think what Trump has already done should qualify as treason on the basis of undermining the USA and supporting its enemies.
Precisely, it IS treason. At the very least he should be removed from any position of power over others.

One of their biggest campaign promises just broken. All those grocery stores that had to host this sack of shit for nothing.
Everything about this dude is so off-putting. He just looks condescending in every picture

The lack of response to the bird flu is clearly the speculation driver here.
Ok let's talk about the recession instead
...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.
We cannot let Trump get away with claiming that he campaigned on lowering inflation. Trump campaigned on reducing prices, not slowing the rate at which they increase.
Everyone with two brain cells knew he wouldn't be able to do that. Now he can't even seem to keep inflation low, which it already was the last year of the Biden administration.
Oh but we are going to let him get away with it, just like we've allowed him to get away with everything in his first term. This piece of shit is going to die like a wet fart and we're going to allow it. Because we're mostly sayers, not doers. We'll say we'll do this, but won't do it. We keep hoping for karma or some invisible deity to come in and save us, but it won't ever happen.
The reason Trump is ever in office both times, was because he is the poster-boy for hate, bigotry, ignorance and all things that incels, racists, xenophobes and bigots all look up to. They feel if he's office, they get to get away with everything because there'll be nobody or nothing to slow them down and this administration will enable it.
God fucking bless america. /s

And there you have it, you stupid fucking 71 million americans, who ever believed this fuckface promised you about lowering egg prices. When it's never been about that, it has mainly been about fulfilling the crooked policies he wanted to do and is currently doing. Keep eating them high costs, you stupid fucks. And you'll still justify your reasoning for having voted for this guy because it's voter's remorse at this point.
It was never about egg prices for them, either. They just used that as their excuse so they didn't have to publicly admit they just really like bigotry and hate.

It's almost like he lied just to get into office and then do whatever he wanted.
He lied openly and his voterbase ate it the fuck up. Ate everything, unquestioned. Standing there with their stupid thick skulls nodding unashamedly "UH HUH! YUP! U DU U TRUMP, U HAVE MUH VOTE!".
