We might well ask is it because the reality of Trump's America-hating clown show of a clown administration is now coming into focus in general.
Or is it more specifically because, say, his nominee to head the FBI has been very vocal about fulfilling the decades' long Repub Party mission to Defund the Police by starting with the federal law enforcement agency responsible for preventing the next Repub GW Bush-style Attack on 9-11?

I am telling you his only "plan" is to bluster, blather and complain for the next four years, coast on the terrific, Envy of the World Biden-Harris Economy he will inherit and play lots and lots and lots of golf, exactly as he did the first time around with the terrific Obama-Biden economy he inherited. And he will do that until he recognizes and seizes upon the opportunity to usher in and exacerbate another "Once in 100 Years Disaster" that only happen under Repub presidents and never under Dem presidents to exploit and blame on everyone else.
Whatever stray legislation or Executive Order he proposes and sticks will most certainly turn out to be a colossal addition to the deficit producing virtually no perceivable benefit to anyone but his already wealthy cronies.
He is the Unsolvable Mythical Grievances President for the Unsolvable Mythical Grievances MAGA Repub Party, a true modern-day blight and menace to economic success, national security and democratic freedom.
To the relative handful of angry Netanyahu-hating but already regretful Muslims in PA, MI and WI who "gave Trump the presidency" and the similarly-motivated MAGA Repubs around the country who squeaked out a razor-thin Plurality of the vote for him this time around, The Kremlin thanks you.[/QUOTE][URL]https://www.nytimes.com/2024/12/13/business/trump-bessent-economic-strategy.html[/URL]

Ah, those Magic Trump Words. LOL.
See, this is why and how Trump's mere blathering threats of increasing prices on imports accomplish that result even BEFORE his 10%-25%-200% Tax Increases on American Consumers are officially applied to the system. Or even if he drops the idea of doing it. Or even if he is too busy golfing, golfing, golfing at his failed resorts to get around to it.
It doesn't matter; The angry, Netanyahu-hating but already regretful handful of Muslims "mandate" President-elect Trump has already triggered supply-chain / delivery'chain price increases that will, not might, be passed on to sucker MAGAs, Bothsider / Neithersiders, non-Dem voters and, unfortunately, everyone else in America. And he did it just with his blithering, blathering "smart businessman's" Magic Words.

[QUOTE]The disruptions include another potential International Longshoremens Association strike at East Coast and Gulf ports across the U.S., and [b]tariff threats made by President-elect Trump[/b] ahead of an early Lunar New Year in Asia, when many manufacturing plants in China are idled for a month.
[B]These threats have stoked the price of the cargo container as shippers vie for the coveted boxes to ship their imports. Over the last several months, ocean freight spot rates had been on the decline, but on Monday, when ocean carriers released their rates for the Dec. 15- Dec. 31 bookings, logistics managers told CNBC they jumped, a bullish demand indicator.[/b]
In ContainerXChanges latest update, it reported North America has experienced the sharpest rise on a global basis, at 20%, in average container prices over the last 90 days.
The National Retail Federation recently said inbound cargo traffic as a result of strike and [b]tariff threats[/b] would fuel container import records in both November and December.

[QUOTE]A strike that lasts longer than a few days would cost the U.S. economy $5-$7 billion per week, according to EY.[/QUOTE]However, bear in mind Joe Biden was known and for decades proved himself to be a truth-telling American Patriot always putting America First, making difficult decisions and taking principled stands regardless of the political risk that turned out to produce the very best results for America and the vast majority of Americans.
Uh. But Donald Trump is known and proven throughout his life to be a pathological liar about everything big and small, to always put himself first, everyone else be damned, and who makes decisions from his golf cart that turn out to be the most damaging to America, the vast majority of Americans and everyone else in the world, totally justifying his ranking among bi-partisan teams of presidential hisorians as The Worst President in History.
Big difference.

[B]GOP Gerrymandering in NC Tipped the Scales of Congress, Outgoing Lawmaker Says.

[INDENT][i]In an op-ed for the Raleigh News & Observer, Nickel noted that the result of the presidential election in North Carolina and the results of other races in the state showed close to a 50-50 split, representative of the purple status North Carolina is known for. However, because of Republican gerrymandering last year, the congressional delegation leaned Republican, with a 10-4 split. [/i][/INDENT][/QUOTE]
What is even more alarming in North Carolina (NC), about the corrupt Repub's over-the-top and extreme aggressive gerrymandering you cited, is their deceitful, shameful and unabashed desire to hold on to power, in a resounding defeat, by Dems and the will of North Carolinians, that resoundingly voted for democracy and Dems, down ballot.
Yes, the power hunger, corrupt and political abusers of American democracy, the Repubs, have yet again found a way to pervert democracy and the will of the people, with a bill that strips power from incoming Democratic elected officials, so now law in NC.

So it appears, that on the way out the door, the outgoing Repubs in NC, have "jerry-rigged", a hurricane Helene relief bill, to hamstring and handicap the legislative power of the incoming Dems, who won all state down-ballot offices, except one, where this power grab bill now puts the bulk of the legislative power, with the State Auditor, Dave Boliek (a Trump bootlicker [i][b](...kkkk!)[/i][/b] and election denier), the one down ballot race, the Dems, unfortunately did not win. Essentially, bypassing the incoming Dem Governor, majority Dem State Congress and state offices, into what most likely will become, a "lame-duck" state parliament.
Once again a prime example, of the shameful and unmitigated gall from [i][b]Repubs, who care nothing for the vote from hardworking Americans, and place power, greed and a fealty, to a wannabe "orange" dictator,[/b][/i] above the love for democracy and their country.
Can't wait for the false equivalences on this one, from the MAGA peanut gallery! [i][b](...kkkk!)[/i][/b]

All of the others are a joke; fanciful, lazy academic theories that fail miserably in the Real World.
Sorry to say the price of eggs and egg-related "groceries", a word nobody used until Donald Trump started using it, had nothing to do with Joe Biden after the price of many foods and restaurant menu items began to skyrocket in 2018 due to Trump's failed Trade War with China and other countries, his tariffs and, of course, his supply-chain destruction during Trump's Pandemic.
And, no, Joe did not defund and remove any Bird Flu Pandemic Prevention teams against all expert warnings for him not to do something so dangerous and stupid and then spend a critical year lying about it to thereby usher in and exacerbate Bird Flu the way Trump ushered in and exacerbated Trump's Pandemic. It spreads into effective pandemics due to uncontrollable worldwide Bird migration.

Bird flu is a highly contagious and lethal disease among birds, including chickens. The U.S. is in the midst of a serious outbreak, Moscogiuri said.

While pasteurization kills the virus, it could stick around in raw milk and pose an infection risk. Mice that consume virus-spiked milk can get infected with bird flu, for example, suggesting humans might be at risk, too.[/QUOTE]Therefore, let us all pray to whatever religious denomination totem suits us that Trump's Magic Words can not only reduce the cost of eggs and egg-related "groceries", with an appreciative nod to him for being the first person to ever use that word, but that he can also wave his Magic Wand and clear RFK Jr's raw milk recommendation of any traces of Bird Flu Virus that might trigger Trump's Pandemic Part 2.
