NEW: U.S. consumer sentiment plunges—down 10% from January over tariff and inflation fears. Most people I know think the economy is cooked thanks to Trump’s policies—designed to help the rich and screw working folks. He’s not doing shit to fix the economy or lower costs. Just broken promises.

They were never going to lower prices. They never cared about egg prices. It's the same lie as CRT. They want us chasing their bullshit while the real mission is to disassemble the government so the rich can get richer. They are on a mission to destroy it all. It's beyond a coup.
