The price of eggs got Trump elected in 2024, so why does he talk about “affordability” so disdainfully now? Because he doesn’t care about it, and he never did. The only thing that truly engages him is using his power to punish his opponents and show the world who’s the boss.
Even MTG has figured this out by now. So have the American people, minus the base, which is on board with the power trip. That will present a problem for the GOP in the midterms, because notwithstanding what Trump and Vance think, our elections are still decided more by swing voters than base mobilization.
