    For those less smart then Trump:

    US being unreliable -> EU does not buy US weapons -> US economy weakens -> Americans have less money -> Demand for eggs falls -> egg prices fall

      Actually you didn’t quite capture the genius of Trump. It goes like this:

      US dismantles CDC ▶ Bird flu kills all birds ▶ No more eggs ▶ No more price of eggs

        also no more inflation, because you just set the egg price to an arbitrary negative value like -700 USD and it will balance out all the products getting more expensive.
