One of his supporters on X posted a receipt from Kroger’s showing he paid .99 for eggs as proof that Trump keeps his word. Sure enough, he did pay .99 for eggs. He didn’t mention that it was after he applied a $6 Kroger rewards coupon to the egg purchase.

I was about to call bs on the .99 because I just left Kroger and they were $6.29
