Trump on April 2: "The egg prices came down 50% ..., the egg prices, they were going through the sky. Now ... they're much cheaper, down about 59% now, and they're going down further."
Trump on April 19: "Egg prices are down 87%, but nobody talks about that. If anything prices are getting too low"
Trump today: "As you know, the cost of eggs has come down 93, 94% since we took office"
By next week, Albertson's will be paying me $2/dozen to take the eggs off their hands

I see we're back to eggs being down 87% today (an increase from Easter Sunday when they were down 94%).
Anyway, here's my favorite hedge fund joke:
Q: What do you call a stock that's down 90%?
A: A stock that was down 80% and then got cut in half

Aside, I'm not sure what bothers me most:
1. The laughable lie
2. His misuse of "NICE!"
3. That I have been conditioned to believe that this is a misuse of NICE!
[It's definitely 3. The triumph of the most juvenile humor is heartbreaking]

@kims I just spent more than $5 for one dozen store brand eggs. I also spent $2.50 for a single avocado and $6 for a loaf of bread. 85/15 ground beef is over $7 a pound. A 12 roll package of Cottonelle toilet paper is about $15.
In the greater Las Vegas area you'll pay $4 for a gallon for "regular" gas at name brand stations.
Prices are not down.

@kims @tchambers that’s a lot of numbers that aren’t that particular number
