Related: About this forumtRump ruined Easter with his astronomical egg prices. No way I'm dying potatoes.
If theres one thing that can be said with certainty, its that President Donald Trump has ruined Easter for all Americans.
Despite near-constant campaign promises that he would swiftly lower the price of groceries ‒ namely eggs, a rather key component in Easter egg hunts ‒ Trump has failed. Eggs hit a record high of $6.23 a dozen in March.
Perhaps the president has been too busy wrongfully deporting people to barbaric Central American prisons or dehumanizing transgender children to notice that eggs are so pricey they should be rebranded as Semi-Precious Protein Ovoids.

$2.81 per dozen eggs (C$3.89) at Toronto. Canadians should not take their inflation rates for granted. $6.23 per dozen average in US is C$8.62 per dozen

I laid in several packages of Cadbury crème eggs in chocolate, caramel and crème. I had to freeze them to keep from eating them!🤤💐
