That price tag is missing its Trump “I did this!” sticker.
Not really Trump. That's avian flu driving that.
There are certainly voters who credit or blame everything in the economy on whoever happens to be President and voted for Trump because they saw a lot of inflation under Biden and hoped that voting for Trump would result in less inflation. Those guys are probably operating on a flawed understanding, though the "if things are going well economically at the moment, credit the President, and if they're going badly, blame the President, because it must be the current President's doing" is not a new phenomenon in American politics.
But this particular effect is really driven by nature.
