[@Northwest) Let me help you. The opening sentence clearly talks about how eggs were used as a talking point, "an indicator of inflation". The last sentence which brings the reader back to the focus of the post reads, "Inflation continues to drop over MANY ECONOMIC SECTORS despite all the leftist lunacy about tariffs and Trump's policies overall". I open and close my post with topic of inflation overall. Eggs were being used as an example most people would recognize. You, of course, did not respond to the overall focus of the article which is inflation. You did not respond to the main issue because it does not fit your narrow narrative of disliking Trump. And frankly, you would have had no ground to stand on when it comes arguing inflation under Biden vs. under Trump. So you tried to distract from the main topic because you could not argue the main topic of overall inflation.

Anything else?

@LLcoolK
Several points:

1. You're still confused. Trump used the "price of eggs" as a barometer for inflation, NOT the other way around.

2. Let me help you out: when you use something as a barometer, specifically in your topic's subject, and make the post and the graphics, ALL ABOUT IT, then if that barometer fails the smell test, your entire proposition falls flat on its face.

I'll help you some more, and take you back "inflation", now that metaphor miserably failed.

The premise you're pushing is that under Trump inflation was tamed, despite dire forecasts by the financial/business community and media such as the Wall Street Journal, is flawed. I say that, because the U.S. inflation rate on the last day of the Biden administration (January 20, 2025) was 3.0% based on the Consumer Price Index (CPI).

So the slope was already down when Trump took office. The up/down, depending on the position of planets Tariff TACO tactics (there doesn't seem to be a strategy, could have spiked inflation, but the fact is, Trump is using smoke and mirrors on you, and no actual hard tariffs happened, but when the market figured out Trump gets distracted with the latest shiny object, it went about its business thinking that it really doesn't matter, and the only side effect is political, and too bad MAGAs get jizzy all over the place, over his "victories" and owning the left.


And now you're channeling Don Quixote and you don't even realize it.

Anything else?

@Northwest Egg man, I know this is very difficult for you. I've tried to go slowly for you. I can only imagine how frustrating it must be for you to have each of your progressive talking points destroyed on an almost daily basis. It must be difficult for you as you pay less for energy and groceries. Trump's continuing rise in poll numbers must keep you up at night. I know that living under a president who has brought about a ceasefire in the Middle East through a display of resolve, leadership and strength has to be a mental strain for you daily.

It must kill you that the day after the election the stock market rocketed skyward. And I know you were heart broken when you had to end your premature celebration of the short lived market dip afterwards due to the rebound back upward. I know that the recent stock market record high was tough for you as well. I know you want to believe Biden had something to do with inflation beginning to decrease, but it was all post election. And the economy began to respond to the realization that the stranglehold of Biden and the democrats was over for a while. But just keep counting your eggs and be careful because they can be fragile like you. You have still not adequately refuted the lowering of inflation and the contrast between Biden and Trump.

There will be nothing else. You are dismissed for recess. Remember, the mud pies are not for eating. Now off you go.

Sincerely,
Don Quixote

@LLcoolK How exactly do you think tariffs work? Do you know how financial quarters work?

@BohemianBabe Yes, the real question is do you? Information is gathered, organized and reported during quarters not just at the end of quarters. How do you think financial news is reported everyday throughout the year? It's not reported 4 times a year at the end of the quarter. You are clueless.

@LLcoolK And then companies have to change their prices based on profits, correct? So the effects of tariffs don't happen overnight.
