I’d say about a year. I mean to be honest Biden was still dealing with Trump’s issues long past that. Heck, some of the issues he was never able to fix. But egg prices right now are due to two things avian flu + fuel costs. It will get better when they breed more mutants.

NOTE: There was a large egg price hike during Biden’s term much earlier too due to bird flu. In all honesty they are focusing a lot on energy restrictions but they need to look into the quality of the products we are ingesting just as much if not more. Chemicals being used in chickens and fruits/veggies have been directly linked to cancers and psychological conditions.

Tariffs can definitely affect pricing that’s another issue. We should drill more here and ship less oil overseas. We also give too much charity across the world at the expense of our own economy.


I agree on the charity and foreign aid, but it is such a huge bargaining chip that the US doesn't like to stop it. If X country is receiving aid and the US wants them to do Y. If they don't do it, the US will just stop the aid. When you are used to getting $200M a year in aid for decades, you get too used to it.

You do realize egg prices went up before Biden left office. Trump has been in office for like 6 days. None of his work has really even began much yet. Certainly not enough to affect the price of anything it’s grasping at straws at its finest.

It’s absolutely absurd to make the statements you are less than a week into a presidency. This is the kind of debate material you’d find in a 3rd grade classroom. It’s highly unrealistic and void of any of the common sense and facts needed to engage in civil discourse.


Trump is a convicted felon who released white supremacists from prison who assaulted police officers for defending our capitol during an attempted coup. According to him, he never lost the election. Don't forget he is a draft dodging coward who has no respect for veterans and the military.

I agree some of the pardons are a disgrace, but that can be said for all presidents. As far as the election goes, it is odd to look at 2020 in terms of voter turnout...

That's a chart based on outdated data. Once all the votes were counted, particularly the late-arriving mail ballots on the West Coast, Trump finished 2024 on 77.3m votes while Kamala finished on 75.0m. Likewise, the 2018 and 2022 midterm cycles had unusually high levels of turnout. Turnout has been systematically higher ever since Trump took office for the first time in 2017.

From this higher baseline, the turnout levels seen in 2020 can be explained by expanded mail and absentee ballots, and by people sitting at home with nothing else to do. Turnout as a percentage of the voting-eligigble population stood at 66.6% in 2020 and 63.9% in 2024.
