    These are all great reasons why egg prices are high, and will continue to be high.

    All I’m asking for is precedent for a president to impact nationwide prices in 2 months time. What do you think is a reasonable window after which to assess a presidents impact on pricing of a national commodity?

      If Trump had not campaigned on bringing down egg/grocery prices, I would agree with you.

      In this case though, he promised to lower prices and that makes him a valid target for criticism since he promised he could do something about it and now obviously can’t.

        I never said he wasn’t a valid target though. I’m asking what you think what a reasonable time frame a sitting president is expected to be given to fulfill a campaign promise of lowering the nationwide price of a commodity, and if that’s based on precedent.
