'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.

      Actually, what I fully expect from this administration is to have the USDA stop inspections and declare the bird flu over. If they are really brazen, they’ll tell farmers to not cull the birds and to stop all testing of bird flu.

      This is how our country dies.

      The ostrich method appears to be popular lately. We’ve banned all discussion of climate change for example in at least one state. We’ve even passed the law saying it isn’t real.

      I don’t get it. If the method is so effective, just say it’s gone.
