During the campaign season, the Trump-Vance campaign repeatedly brought up high grocery prices as one of the number one problems facing Americans. Trump-Vance repeatedly blamed this problem on Democrats, and said that a new Trump presidency could fix the problem very quickly. At one press conference, Trump posed in front of a table of groceries and said, "When I win, I will immediately bring prices down, starting on day one."
There's a particular campaign stop by JD Vance where he made some comments about the price of eggs, which went viral on social media. After winning the election, Trump started to walk back those promises about grocery prices[1].
So, the meme of it is basically making fun of people who voted for Trump, thinking that he would fix inflation, when that's not something that he is likely to actually do.
