'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.
President Donald Trump, who promised to cut the cost of groceries on his first day in office, now seems to have a much different take on high prices as he shared a column with a very blunt headline: “Shut Up About Egg Prices ― Trump Is Saving Consumers Millions.”
Trump posted a link to the Feb. 17 article, written by right-wing activist Charlie Kirk, on his Truth Social platform over the weekend:
Egg prices have reached record highs in recent weeks, averaging $4.95 a dozen in January and passing $10 per dozen in some parts of the country. In several places, grocery stores have put limits on egg purchases, and some have run out of them entirely. A number of restaurants have even tacked egg surcharges onto checks.
In the column published by The Daily Caller, Kirk argues that egg prices are not Trump’s fault.
They’re not. At least, not entirely. Prices have been see-sawing since 2022, with much of the increase since due to the impact of bird flu, which has killed millions of chickens. Millions more have been culled to stop the virus from spreading.
