They ARE lower.
Lower than when Biden was Prez.
Eggs were $0.50+
Eggs are now $0.21.
Do you WANT them to be?
Why?
That would mean Trump is succeeding.
Trump's been in office less than a year. Biden fuck-ups can't be fixed overnight, or even in 7 months.
> Are more drilling rigs in operation, as Trump promised?
Yes!
I JUST posted an article about it.
And if not, they're pumping and refining more, because we just took over as the number 1 producer in the world.
U.S. Onshore Oil Production Soars To RECORD Highs
https://oilprice.com/Latest-Energy-News/World-News/US-Onshore-Oil-Production-Soars-to-Record-Highs.html
Jul 28, 2025 - U.S. crude oil production from onshore federal lands reached a record high in 2024, largely driven by increased
activity in New Mexico's Permian Basin, while offshore production growth remained ...
America Producing Record Amounts Of Oil And Gas - "In Just 6 Months, Trump Has Brought U.S. Oil And Gas Production To Its Highest
Levels Ever"

Drill baby drill is working. Under Biden, US oil and gas production were driven not by pro-energy policies but by high crude
prices. Crude was over $100 in 2022 and generally ranged between $70 and $85 for the rest of Biden's term. As we demonstrated, the
barrel price would have pushed production much higher had it not been for Biden's anti-fossil fuels climate policies. In just six
months, Donald Trump has brought America's oil and gas production to its highest levels ever, not driven by high prices but by pro-
production policies. Now, the price is closer to $60 a barrel and yet domestic production is at an all-time high. The Energy
Information Administration reports forecasts that gas prices will keep falling to below $3 a gallon by next year. The big story
here, of course, is fracking and horizontal drilling which has roughly tripled American production in the last 15 years or so.

> Is the Ukraine war over, as Trump promised?
Are you blaming Trump for a war he didn't start or allow to start, just because he said he'd end it?
Did you REALLY think he could end it in 24 hours?
I never did, but I was hopeful. What's wrong with being an optimist?
Oh yeah... fergot... you are a pessimistic and cynical liberal. A doom and gloomer too.
Do you WANT the war to end?
Why?
That would mean Trump succeeded and Democrats would lose money on War Machine stocks.
Need I remind you of all the promises Biden and Obama broke?

"Trump Derangement Syndrome" Is a Real Mental Condition
All you need to know about "Trump Derangement Syndrome," or TDS.
"Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) is a mental condition in which a person has been driven effectively insane due to their dislike
of Donald Trump, to the point at which they will abandon all logic and reason."
Justin Raimondo, the editorial director of Antiwar.com, wrote a piece in the Los Angeles Times in 2016 that broke TDS down into
three distinct phases or stages:
"In the first stage of the disease, victims lose all sense of proportion. The president-elect's every tweet provokes a firestorm,
as if 140 characters were all it took to change the world."
"The mid-level stages of TDS have a profound effect on the victim's vocabulary: Sufferers speak a distinctive language consisting
solely of hyperbole."
"As TDS progresses, the afflicted lose the ability to distinguish fantasy from reality."
The Point here is simple: TDS is, in the eyes of its adherents, the knee-jerk opposition from liberals to anything and everything
Trump does. If Trump announced he was donating every dollar he's ever made, TDS sufferers would suggest he was up to something
nefarious, according to the logic of TDS. There's nothing - not. one. thing. - that Trump could do or say that would be received
positively by TDSers.
The history of Trump Derangement Syndrome actually goes back to the early 2000s - a time when the idea of Trump as president was a
punch line for late-night comics and nothing more.
Wikipedia traces its roots to "Bush Derangement Syndrome" - a term first coined by the late conservative columnist Charles
Krauthammer back in 2003. The condition, as Krauthammer defined it, was "the acute onset of paranoia in otherwise normal people in
reaction to the policies, the presidency - nay - the very existence of George W. Bush."
