Imagine campaigning on ‘immediate relief’ and then reposting an article that screams ‘suck it up.’ Iconic failure. Missed opportunities to explore potential solutions or broader economic implications.

The Americans need to learn from the French where one egg is un oeuf.
Great pun, love.
Trump prends oeuf. ou est ouef?
I see what you did there.
Why are they complaining about eggs, can’t they just eat cake?
/s
I really hope most people got this reference :)
Our education system is bad, but it’s not “don’t teach about the French revolution” bad. Hell my high school even made a point to point out that Antoinette was a teenager who likely didn’t actually say that
Eggs are an ingredient for most types of cake
Very nice! I got that one!
250% increase in price.
Good. Americans deserve this.
Yep we all suck
We do.
It’s almost like they can’t do anything about a war half a world away, if the government doesn’t function and the oligarchs are making bank off an incompetent felon-in-chief. Who knew?
Fucking LOL. He ran on egg prices. “Shut the fuck up about eggs.”
Elon is triggered… so talk more about eggs.
High egg prices are doubleplusgood.
In the end, the Party would announce that two and two made five, and you would have to believe it. It was inevitable that they should make that claim sooner or later: the logic of their position demanded it.
Eggs have always cost this much. Under Biden, they cost more. All hail Big trumper for lowering egg prices! /s
Friendship with eggs is no more.
Now he’s a friend with a spiraling hyperinflation.
Yeah, you hear that, PEASANTS? Shut the fuck up about the prices of things, and TAKE IT. Show some goddamn respect for your BETTERS.
Billionaires need some peace and quiet while they divvy up the country’s spoils amongst each other. Spoils from YOUR hard labor, by the way.
Have you said thank you once?
I believe the traditional response to “the peasants have no eggs” would be, “let them eat cake!”
You need eggs to make cake
That was the “joke” from the first time around. The French version uses brioche which is just even more fancy bread.
Maybe a parallel would be “the peasants have no eggs!” -> “let them eat omelettes!”
Have they tried substituting smaller cakes for the eggs?
Let them eat quiche
Ew, gluten free cake
Why aren’t you wearing a suit to go grocery shopping? Show some respect!
Have you instructed your servant to search more thoroughly?
It can’t be that bad. What does one egg cost? Ten dollars? That’s nothing.
Someone needs to update this for eggs…
$2/ dozen in Asia, mates! Laughing at america rn.
The real reason trumps wants Canada to be US
Also for American audiences its even worse than you think. That $3.93 is in CAD. Paying USD would put it at $2.75 because of the exchange rate.
For now lol
Lmao why do eggs need a tiktok
Do you mean the display?
No I mean the box that the cartons come in.
I completely missed that lol.
saved you a click:
President Donald Trump promised cheaper groceries when he took office, but two months in, it seems the president is sick of all the complaining. To make his point, the president shared an article from the Daily Caller on Truth Social titled “Shut Up About Egg Prices — Trump Is Saving Consumers” that minimizes concerns about the increasing cost of eggs. The article, written by right-wing commentator Charlie Kirk, concedes that “a dozen currently costs around $7, up from just $2 in October.” However, Kirk contends that inflation during Trump’s presidency isn’t as severe as critics suggest and tells voters to stop whining. “The high price of eggs is in no way President Trump’s fault,” Kirk writes. “Almost all the increase took place during Biden’s final months in office.” The pro-Trump article further defended the president, saying, “Trump is already hard at work to deliver savings for American families.”
“Trump is already hard at work to deliver savings for American families.”
Yes, we know. All 735 of the billionaire families will receive savings at the very least. Thank you for your generosity.
Despite the factual accuracy of when this began, it does not mean he can go unblamed.
I mean, the price increase of eggs is largely because of the bird flu. I criticize him at every opportunity, but he doesn’t have a ton of control over that.
The down votes are because people are mad that you’re right.
However they made it a campaign issue so it’s fair game
Well, he made the cost of eggs one of his main campaign topics. He had absolute control over that.
They did fire a bunch of people working on bird flu…
Egg supplies in the US are down like 5%. The price bullshit isn’t just from that.
EDIT: Because I know some people will want some hard numbers, I looked some up quickly.
USDA report puts some hard numbers on American egg production (Published: February 20, 2025, so these are 2024 numbers)
The average number of egg-laying hens fell to 375 million, a 2 percent drop from the previous year, while egg production declined 1 percent to 109 billion eggs. The total U.S. chicken inventory also decreased by 2 percent, reaching 514 million birds.
Despite a modest rise in broiler chicken prices, egg prices have surged. In late January, the wholesale price for large eggs in New York soared to $7.46 per dozen — more than double last year’s $2.94. USDA now projects an annual average egg price of $4.44 per dozen.
Highly pathogenic avian influenza remains a major driver of price fluctuations. Though the report does not account for recent bird losses in 2025, economist Bernt Nelson of the American Farm Bureau Federation estimates that 43 million birds were lost in January and February alone — representing 25 percent of all birds affected since the outbreak began in 2022. These losses suggest continued price volatility as producers work to rebuild flocks.
https://www.agdaily.com/livestock/poultry/usda-report-puts-hard-numbers-on-american-egg-production/
Now, the article does mention the recent bird infections being higher at 25%, however look at the specific wording used. “representing 25 percent of all birds affected since the outbreak began in 2022”. So it’s saying the recent infections and kills represent that amount from the last 2+ years of avian flu infections, not a sudden spike of 25% of the current supply.
There are people who will argue about bird flu influencing the price. However, when it comes to the Trump Administration, they will only blame the previous administration. They won’t try to take any responsibility for failing to meet the expectations of lowering the price that they promised.
I think bird flu is a convenient excuse for price gouging, just like we saw during pandemic. He could easily address that if he wanted to. He just doesn’t care.
When he ran on that specific thing he better figure it out. And why is America seeing increases when other places are not?
Lol, absolutely not. Our eggs were sub $4 up until a 4-6 weeks or so ago. Now they’re $8-9.
“Almost all the increase took place during Biden’s final months in office.“
I’m insulted on the behalf of the idiots who routinely believe his blatant lies
What’s funny is I was just thinking about how all the news sites are itching to drop their Easter egg story so we’re about to hear a lot more about eggs
Holy shit I didn’t see that on the horizon. That’ll be great…
Jokes about the eggs made of gold etc etc
Make American Grocery Affordable
No pre-shredded cheese. Make America grate again
No USDA. Make America grade again.
No Department of Education. Make America First Grade Again
Currently in Australia eggs range from US$3.40 for a dozen cage eggs, to US$5.50 for a dozen free range organic.
In a German Aldi it ranges from 2,60€ for a dozen eggs from indoor chickens to 3,80€ for organic free range. Cages are forbidden here.
A dozen eggs cost almost $13 at the grocery store today. We didn’t get eggs.
We have to be getting close to the point where its cheaper to just buy a hen.
Until the hen(s) get(s) bird flu… 🤷♂️
Fox news was unironically using that as a defense of Trump a few days ago.
The way they were painting the situation, too. Christ, State Media in Russia and North Korea would blush watching those assholes trying to claim that people would be delighted to resort to backyard farming for their eggs.
The only way it’d be any worse is if little d was sitting right there at the desk with Brooke, and you could see her hand pumping up and down giving him a handy.
“I think the silver lining in all of this is, how do we, in our backyards—we’ve got chickens too in our backyard—how do we solve for something like this? And people are sort of looking around thinking, ‘Wow, well maybe I could get a chicken in my backyard,’ and it’s awesome.”
Awesome, you GUYS! 🙄
