Trump said he'd bring down prices "on Day One".
No backtracking now. He said he could do it in a single day.
I thought we were voting for cheap eggs and an affordable American dream.

So you're sure that the prices will return to the pre-flu, pre-Biden levels, as Trump promised?
America is short on clay, limestone, sand, and wood?

probably? the point about the trump egg stuff is they were always r-slurred liars you clown, We're making fun of them when we talk about eggs.
they won't go down to pre-biden levels however, they'll go down to normal price.
Yes, actually. when we source something from other countries it's because the supply does not exist here or the costs are too high.

Because it's cheaper. But then Pizza there's a paradox for you: the US economy was doing pretty well supplying the housing market until relatively recently. Do you think that the problem was that the US started importing cheaper limestone, which made building housing cost more and yall switched to the sucking each others' peepees based economy instead?
