After Downplaying the Price of Eggs for Four Years, Democrats Are Now Babbling About the Price of Eggs.
But the Price of Eggs Has "Plummeted" Under Trump.

The Democrats' major attack on Trump is that he promised inflation would begin to fall on "day one" and it hasn't fallen yet. That was the point of that embarrassing robotic-repetition-of-the-same-message we saw on Monday of last week.

Disgraced coked-up hasbeen loser Al Franken just pushed this Democrat talking point last night. Scott Jennings pushed back.

But bad news for Democrats on that front.

Remember when Democrats thought they had a winning message to combat Trump's popularity by harping about egg prices? They just lost their favorite talking point.

"Instead of leaning into Trump's teardown of the federal government or his alliance with billionaire lieutenant Elon Musk, they're steering to what they perceive as the everyday concerns of Americans -- none more important than grocery prices and eggs in particular," the Associated Press reported earlier this month.

...

According to Trading Economics, after reaching an all-time high of $8.17 per dozen in early March, egg prices have plummeted to $5.51, which now sits below the nearly $7 average when President Trump took office in January.

As the above chart shows, prices were trending up in the final months of Biden's presidency. However, Democrats didn't acknowledge the rising prices until after Trump took office in an attempt to blame his policies for the rising prices.

The ironic thing about the Democrats' attacks on Trump is that he inherited the egg price situation from Joe Biden. The Biden administration's disastrous decision to slaughter 150 million egg-laying chickens in an attempt to contain avian flu is what sent prices soaring. Major restaurant chains like Denny's and Waffle House were forced to implement egg surcharges just to stay afloat. Some markets saw prices reach absurd highs, with a San Francisco Safeway charging a mind-boggling $10.99 per dozen.

It is very important we see some kind of improvement in the rate of inflation. The earlier we see it, the more likely we are to actually win the midterms.
