Summary

Inflation in the U.S. rose 3% in January, with rent alone accounting for 30% of the increase.

Egg prices soared due to avian flu, worsening grocery costs.

Despite pledging to lower prices, Trump blamed inflation on Biden and foreign countries while avoiding specifics on his plan.

In a Fox News interview, he dodged questions about when prices would drop, instead citing trade deficits. The White House press secretary confirmed that the administration has no clear timeline for addressing the rising cost of living.

      Please ignore that the president is ruining any government organization that could help get bird flu under control

      I have it on good authority that the reason why egg prices are so high is because joe biden killed a hundred bazillion birds in order to drive egg prices up just before trump took office.

      No, see, it’s because of bird flu. You know, the same thing that happened under Biden when eggs were half the price.

      And how can you possibly blame Trump just because he promised to make egg prices lower over and over?!
