    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.
