‘Shut up about egg prices’: Trump shares brazen message about high costs
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.
You're viewing a single thread.
Multiple economists overwhelmingly stated that his policy proposals were inflationary. MAGA accused them of being "liberals" and disregarded their warnings as fake. Working people aren't going to be saving anything unless it's by a sheer cut back in their spending as they try to save money. And of course saving won't matter if Trump axes FDIC.
