Trump Boosts Message Telling Americans to ‘Shut Up’ About Egg Prices

Trump prends oeuf. ou est ouef?

I see what you did there.

I really hope most people got this reference :)

Eggs are an ingredient for most types of cake

MYSELF

I really could not stop laughing from earlier today (I think it was the Young Turks podcast I was listening to) when I heard them play some crazy bullshit from the State Media Television and someone was talking, in the context of little d destroying our economy with tariffs, about how this will be just more of "Biden's economy" if things get painful due to what little d is doing to us.

I mean, seriously. I guess Biden made little d play his tariff game? But I'm sure there are a non-zero amount of redcaps that watch that shit and nod their heads to it.

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.

Friendship with eggs is no more.

Now he's a friend with a spiraling hyperinflation.

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?

Have you said thank you once?

I believe the traditional response to "the peasants have no eggs" would be, "let them eat cake!"

Why aren’t you wearing a suit to go grocery shopping? Show some respect!

If I keep posting this every time there are egg related political news stories, maybe it'll come true?

I put together a little short story about how I would like to see Donald Trump meet his demise. Drowning in eggs:

The Eggsecution.

The once-proud leader, now stripped of title and dignity, stands in the center of the barren, concrete abyss. The abandoned Olympic swimming pool—thirty feet deep, dry as bone—has become their final stage. Above, the gathered masses stretch in every direction, a writhing sea of anticipation.

They do not jeer. They do not boo.

They simply chant.

"Eggs. Eggs. Eggs."

It starts as a murmur, a low thrum of human voices vibrating in unison. Then it grows, swelling into a deafening roar that rattles windows, that shudders in the bones of every person present. A chant as ancient as it is absurd, a single-minded invocation of punishment.

The first egg arcs high overhead, tracing a lazy curve before splattering against the fallen leader’s shoulder. The yolk bursts, oozing down his baggy, ugly, now-useless suit. A streak of yellow, the first of many.

Another egg. Then another.

Then dozens.

The first impacts make them flinch, stagger—hands raised in a futile shield. But soon there are too many to dodge, too many to deflect. They curl inward as the sky rains viscous judgment. The chant never stops.

"Eggs. Eggs. Eggs."

Shells crack. Yolk drips. The scent of sulfur and shame thickens in the stagnant air. It coats their skin, their hair, their pride, turning them into something less than human. Something… egg-like.

At the top of the pit, a child—no older than seven—steps forward. They hold their egg with both hands, cradling it like something precious. Reverent. With a deliberate motion, they lob it downward. It strikes the leader square on the forehead, exploding with an almost musical plap. The crowd erupts into a fresh crescendo of cheers, but the chant never falters.

"Eggs. Eggs. Eggs."

No escape. No reprieve. The pit is smooth concrete, slick now with raw egg and humiliation. They can do nothing but stand there, endure, become part of the ritual.

Somewhere in the throng, a vendor hawks boiled eggs. Another sells cartons to the unprepared. A man in a chicken suit waves encouragingly at the crowd.

The night wears on, but the spectacle does not end.

It cannot end.

Not until the last egg is thrown. Not until the last voice is hoarse.

Not until the world is rid of this one, failed leader, broken not by swords or exile, but by the inescapable weight of public yolk and scorn.

"Eggs. Eggs. Eggs."

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.

Lmao why do eggs need a tiktok

“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.

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

Holy shit I didn't see that on the horizon. That'll be great....

Jokes about the eggs made of gold etc etc

No pre-shredded cheese. Make America grate again

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.

We have to be getting close to the point where its cheaper to just buy a hen.

I want deviled eggs! And I might have to sell my soul

At minimum, knowing how to substitute eggs in baking is a basic life skill if you like feeding yourself.

In baked goods, each = 1 egg:

1/4 cup applesauce

1/4 cup mashed banana

3 tbsp nut butter

1/4 cup yogurt

1 tbsp ground flax seed + 3 tbsp water

Even when bird flu isn’t going on, sometimes you just don’t have an egg. Know your options!

I did. Months ago. I like eggs, but these people are fucking silly. I don't know how anybody could care so much about egg prices that they helped this criminal idiot be a dictator, and they're still whining instead of just refusing to buy eggs. How do these losers care this much about eggs but they don't breathe a word about the cost of healthcare and prescription drugs?

I might be close to this upset if it were cheese that this were happening to. But eggs? Get a life.

Why are egg prices high? A Bird flu epidemic that has run since 2022.

Trump’s DOGE fired several key USDA officials working on containing the bird flu outbreak. So that’s directly going to increase egg prices. It’s also going to reduce the efficiency of the only process that’s going to reduce egg prices - getting the bird flu epidemic under control.

To fill the shortfall, eggs would usually be imported from Canada. Trump started a trade war with Canada. Again that’s going to directly increase prices.

The price of eggs can’t be reduced by economic policy, only by agricultural policies. But we also know from his choice of Health Secretary how much Trump values vaccines.

On the other hand, Trump’s economic policies will increase the price of eggs and prolong the effects.

So Trump wandered into a house fire that was already burning, shot himself in the foot, then opened fire on firemen and paramedics attempting to rescue him. And the American consumer is meanwhile trapped upstairs.

I understand your point generally, and would agree with you under most circumstances. However, you're talking about the guy who came out swinging from Tariff Town before he was even inaugurated, which has already made for negative economic movement. Under his watch (if you would even be so generous to say he's "watching" at all), there's already been all kinds of administrative chaos for the USA by wanton firings and other cuts and more EOs than you've ever seen in your lifetime.

So, yes, absolutely the country can blame Trump, at the very least for putting all his attention to causing chaos and not on the things he campaigned on. (Not that I ever believed he had any intention to ever pay attention to them.)

He's already screwed the country in countless ways in a month. Why can't he sign one of those executive orders for egg prices? Subsidize egg prices with all the money he's supposedly saving? He's already ignoring laws and courts, I have difficulty believing he is helpless.

Then he shouldn’t have made egg (and grocery) prices immediately going down a central theme of his campaign.
