I was right.

The trumpers don't care about comparisons. They are never going to concede we are in a good place right now and they will never admit we will come to a bad place later under Trump. We have many threads where they have been schooled, complete with proof, links, facts and witnesses and they shrug it off and say "you just hate Trump." Watch.

For BJman--

A Gallon of Gas According to a May 2 analysis from Yahoo Finance senior columnist Rick Newman, the average gas price was $2.47 per gallon when Trump took office in January 2017. The average for his entire four-year term was $2.57, with a low of $1.79.

---

Conversely, the average price per gallon during Biden's presidency so far is $3.61 - 40% more than even Trump's higher average. Gas peaked at over $5 for the first time ever in June 2022.

---

A Dozen Eggs According to the St. Louis Fed, a dozen large, Grade A eggs cost about $1.60 when Trump took office in January 2017. During his single term, the price breached the $2 mark only twice, and briefly both times - $2.08 in April 2018 and $2.02 two years later in April 2020. Trump's price hit a low of $1.22 in August 2019.

---

When Biden took office in January 2021, a dozen eggs cost $1.47. In February 2022, it rose to $2 and has never receded below that mark since. By the start of August 2022, a dozen eggs cost $3, then $4 by December 2022 before peaking at an all-time high of $4.82 in January 2023. The previous record was $2.97 in September 2015.

---

A Gallon of Milk According to the St. Louis Fed, a gallon of whole milk cost $3.32 when Trump was inaugurated in January 2017. The price fell steadily to a term-low of $2.84 in July 2018. The price held steady until it breached $3 in June 2019 and climbed to a Trump-era high of $3.54 in December 2020.

---

The price of milk fell briefly and modestly during Biden's first three months, then started on an upward trajectory that peaked at $4.22 in November 2022. The average price of a gallon of milk has since fallen, but only to its current cost of about $3.90.

Maga drive an $80,000 pickup and complain about the price of eggs. lol

To those out there with a brain, there was this thing called a pandemic and it had all sorts of consequences. A main one was this thing called a supply issue. It killed prices in the beginning and exploded them in the end. But all of that has passed. At the end of Biden's term the economy will be the strongest in the world. It will now be Trump's to screw up.

Harris had an issue with corporate price gouging and monopolies and had plans to take them on. It is one of the main reasons I voted for her. I didn't see that from Trump. In fact, the only thing I have seen from the Trump side is Musk talking about a two trillion dollar reduction in spending. Will that lower prices? Probably, but not in a good way.

It's all Trump's now. We are watching.

I was right.

And to the average consumer there is a thing called the blunder/hyena debacle, libtard supported failure!

Trump was elected to fix something that wasn't really broken. The steak salesman screwed up the last time, and we all know he will do it again.

There is no reasoning to argue with that dumbass. He is gonna follow the Orange Jim Jones straight to the Kool-aid stand, and gulp his FREE share of the juice he was promised by his Demi-god.

Too bad that you didn't undertake this exercise 4 years ago. Maybe then you would not have voted so stupidly.

Biden fixed a broken economy. Trump spent like a drunkin sailor to achieve Carter like numbers. Trump is being handed the strongest economy in the world. It is his to fuck up.

I was right.

Not cost of living related, but...

Illegal immigrant crossings are at a four year low under Biden, despite Trump's fear mongering campaign.

US Border patrol is on pace to be below 50K apprehensions per month of November, averaging 1550 per day, according to CBS news.

Too little, too late, I'd say. Maybe it was for the greater good as it got Trump elected.

You sure are using the word 'maybe' a lot these days. lol

I was right.

I use "hoax" a lot too, usually in connection with you.

You said the quiet part out loud. LMAO.

Nothing screams cuck like flying a flag with another man's name on it.

A maga calling the fact provider a hoax. How fitting. lol
