'Shut Up About Egg Prices': Trump Shares Brazen Message About High Costs
www.huffpost.com
The president posted a column from conservative activist Charlie Kirk telling people to stop complaining about egg prices.

Summary

Trump recently shared a provocative column on Truth Social titled “Shut Up About Egg Prices — Trump Is Saving Consumers Millions,” written by conservative activist Charlie Kirk.

This comes despite Trump’s campaign promises to reduce grocery costs “immediately” and “on Day 1.” Egg prices have soared to record highs, averaging $4.95/dozen in January and exceeding $10/dozen in some regions, leading to purchase limits and shortages.

While bird flu has significantly impacted prices by killing millions of chickens since 2022, Trump has shifted from his campaign stance, recently telling Fox News “Inflation is back” but claiming “I had nothing to do with it” after just weeks in office.

    Have been eggfree for about 7 years. There are viable substitutes. Tofu can be prepared as a good egg substitute. It’ll never be exactly the same, but you get used to it. I like it because no chickens were treated like shit during its manufacture.

      There’s always one in every thread about this…you cannot expect 300-something million people to suddenly be able to adopt your special snowflake diet. It’s cool that you have. And some may be able to switch. But this is not a viable solution at this time for the majority of the population.
