1. The sign in mine just said No Eggs

The hubby noticed, but we rarely buy eggs. I probably wouldn't have noticed. It was a handmade sign. Since egg prices were the most important issue in the recent election (far more important than character, employment numbers, gas prices, healthcare or the environment), trump's done, right?

2. Thank goodness I don't eat eggs that much, I buy probably 1-2 dozen per 3-6 months. You can live w/o eggs, making

it fine. Again, another tRUMP shortage and he hasn't said a word about the shortage yet, and probably won't, he's got too many revenge things going on in his neck of the woods against all of those who supposedly wronged him. That list of his is pretty long too. How long will it take him to get through his list of those he wants to screw over since they wronged him in some way?

I figure it'll take him at least 1/2 year or so, perhaps longer, and by then, his list will have new updates of those who wronged him recently since the beginning of his term, which has just started. With tRUMP it never ends. Maybe his anger will give him a stroke one day...I don't know.

I'm ignoring him 100%. Any stories / topics etc. about him, I ignore 100%. I don't want to deal w/ his stupid and ridiculous antics, it's not presidential and it's not the responsible thing to do, it is time to put down the childish antics and act 'presidential' but I fear that this won't ever happen. He's a bully, plain and simple.

4. ... but do not worry. Donald will fix it 'very soon', just like he gave his word about lowering grocery prices.

6. Yesterday at Trader Joe's it said it was sold out of eggs

And in another store they were 9.99 to 13.99 for a dozen. I wanted to buy a dozen but my husband said we had enough eggs and he’s the one who makes breakfast on the weekend using those eggs.

...I forget the name, but we've all seen it. I think it's at Imgflip. "Can't complain about egg prices when there are no eggs at the grocery!".
