White people wanted Donald Trump president because they were told that Joe Biden was at fault for the price of eggs.
News flash: the price of eggs is going to take a backseat in the incoming Trump administration to wars with Greenland and Panama, and whatever is motivating Trump on the name of the Gulf of Mexico.
“We are going be changing, the, the opposite of Biden closing everything up and getting rid of 50 to 60 trillion worth of assets, we’ll be changing the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America, which has a beautiful ring,” Trump said Tuesday, in a rambling, at times incoherent press something-or-the-other at his gawdy Florida golf club.

A dozen eggs, at the local Martin’s, is $3.99, incidentally.
The reason the price has gone up (the national average in January 2022: $1.93): bird flu.
You don’t have to believe in things like bird flu, but farmers who have had to cull 98.5 million egg-laying hens from their flocks don’t care what you believe.
You let yourselves be sold a lie that Joe Biden was behind the price of eggs, and now we have a guy who will be president in 13 days who thinks he can change the name of the Gulf of Mexico, and that was just him getting warmed up.
“I can’t assure you, you’re talking about Panama and Greenland, no, I can’t assure you on either of those two,” Trump answered a reporter at the press something-or-the-other who had asked him if he could rule out military action in regard to his dumb ideas to seize the Panama Canal and to buy Greenland.
He actually sent Donald Trump Jr. to Greenland on Monday, ostensibly to kick the tires.
Why not send Eric to Antarctica, while we’re on the topic?
As the planet melts, there’s a whole continent of beachfront there just waiting to be developed.
I fully expect him to try that one at some point in the next four years.
One more item from the press thingy:
“They brought this moron out of The Hague. He’s a mean guy. He’s a mean, nasty guy. His picture was perfect because you look at his picture, you say that’s a bad guy with his robe, his purple robe, and he executes people. He shouldn’t be allowed to execute people because he will execute everybody! He’s a nut job.”
This was Trump ranting about Jack Smith, the special counsel who led the investigation into Trump’s effort to seize power after losing the 2020 presidential election.
Trump’s legal team is trying to block the release of Smith’s findings in that case, because, obviously, he is aware that it will make him look bad, though at this point, does that even matter anymore?
Seriously, he ran up $8 trillion in debt, did everything he could do to align our national interests with Vladimir Putin, not to mention his work to turn us all against each other, and he still won White people by 15 million votes, in an election that he won overall by 2.3 million votes.
I’ll just say here, I’m not buying the idea that it was really the price of eggs that got y’all to vote for the guy.
I can’t quite put my finger on it (cough, cough, racism), but it wasn’t eggs.
