"Other Fox personalities have been warning of a downturn or a recession. Meanwhile, a new NBC poll finds Trump’s approval on the economy is sinking. Yet he’s forging ahead with his tariffs and rarely bothers talking about the economy anymore."

"In two months, the United States has experienced the worst outbreak of measles in decades. The stock markets have suffered heavy losses. Prices of household items and food have risen.

In two months, the United States has become more of a pariah than a partner concerning human rights, global security, environmental protection, and goodwill."

"'I hate to predict things like that. There is a period of transition, because what we’re doing is very big. We’re bringing wealth back to America. That’s a big thing. And there are always periods of, it takes a little time. It takes a little time, but I think it should be great for us,' Trump said."

"The US president predicted that his economic goals would take time and a period of transition to bear fruit. But when asked in an interview with the Fox News show Sunday Morning Futures 'are you expecting a recession this year?' he demurred."

"The about-face about this clear-as-day promise reminds me so much of this quote from Hannah Arendt about lies and totalitarian leaders:

'In an ever-changing, incomprehensible world the masses had reached the point where they would, at the same time, believe everything and nothing, think that everything was possible and nothing was true.'"

"It’s fair to say that these high egg prices have become a symbol of how Trump’s focused on just about everything BUT this 'Day One' promise. And how that promise is badly broken—and with his erratic tariff and other policies, will likely get a lot worse before it gets better.

So faced with this broken promise, how does Trump respond?

Yesterday, he posted on article whose headline was: 'Shut Up About Egg Prices.'”

"He has also gutted the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), which forced companies engaged in fraud to repay billions of dollars to consumers.

Second, how dare he! Trump ran a fraudulent campaign on the premise that he would bring down prices (which were already going down under Biden) on day one and that he would make a peace deal in Ukraine before he even took office—or in 24 hours."

"It’s Sunday, and Trump is saying we all need to 'shut up.' Seriously. He just posted a headline that reads: 'Shut up about egg prices—Trump is saving consumers billions.'

First, he is causing consumers to lose 'trillions,' not 'save billions.' Trump has tanked the markets, causing trillion-dollar losses to 401(k)s and pensions."

"The United States Department of Agriculture says egg prices are expected to increase far more than other foods in 2025. The USDA’s 2025 Food Price Outlook predicts that egg prices will rise more than 20% this year, compared to the roughly 2% increase they predict for food prices overall."
