Donald Trump wants people to shut up about egg prices, so they’re talking about being told to shut up about egg prices
The price of eggs in the US is no yolk. Not even sorry.
Bird flu has swept across the country, resulting in the mass culling of birds and making eggs far more scarce and – inevitably – very expensive. Donald Trump‘s election campaign included a promise to bring the cost down on day one – presumably just after ending the Russia-Ukraine war, yet six weeks into his tenure, the prices are even higher.
.@ABC today: "Wholesale shoppers like small businesses were paying over $8 for a dozen eggs last week." https://t.co/TYsg2dKYjE@JDVance in September: "Now, a dozen eggs will cost you around $4 thanks to Kamala Harris' inflationary policies" pic.twitter.com/80Y857nbbI

It even led to the Secretary of Agriculture, Brooke Rollins, suggesting people should start keeping poultry, despite the fact that they would also be vulnerable to bird flu.

Are the millions in the room with us now?
Over on Truth Social, the fake Twitter that Trump created after being kicked off the pre-Musk site for repeatedly breaking the rules, the president reposted an article by Maga mouthpiece Charlie Kirk, entitled ‘Shut Up About Egg Prices — Trump Is Saving Consumers Millions‘.
It seemed a bit rich considering he has yet to take any steps to address the problem, concentrating instead on creating other problems and getting his revenge on Democrats and legal professionals for trying to hold him to account.
People weighed in on President Brass-neck’s hot take.

REMINDER: trump ran on lowering egg prices
JD Vance did a failed photo op stunt in front of eggs (that were priced way LOWER than today)
MAGA would not shut the fuck up about egg prices which, again, were much lower under Biden

Every time I go to the grocery store, I place these next to the eggs.
Every single time.
It’s a small contribution with a bigger message.

Donald Trump on eggs and other high-priced groceries:
August 2024: “When I win, I will immediately bring prices down, starting on Day One."
March 2025: "Shut up about egg prices."

If Biden had retweeted something that said "shut up about egg prices", every Twitter server would melt within minutes. pic.twitter.com/bCiwbLMIYw

Trump just posted an article telling Americans to "Shut up about egg prices"
JD Vance just said if you protest him "you're a shit person"
These two clowns are cracking under the pressure already. Keep it up!

He’s at the “I’m sick of the masses trying to hold me accountable” stage of his presidency

Meanwhile, he spent 18 million of tax payer money to play golf
How many eggs could be bought with that money? pic.twitter.com/ZCue59sCJi

Trump told the US to “Shut Up About Egg Prices” in an angry tweet due to people pointing out eggs are expensive as fuck in the US.
In some places a dozen cost $3.99 at the beginning of January. Now in March they cost $17.99. All thanks to Donald Trump. pic.twitter.com/OiAFhnQ7zm

Trump telling Americans to "shut up" about $17.99 egg prices is tone-deaf. Bird flu’s bad, but his policies aren’t helping, tariffs and cuts to federal oversight are making groceries pricier, not cheaper. He promised savings, not silence.

Before the elections all trump could talk about was the price of eggs! The only millions trump has saved is the millions billionaires will not pay in taxes

The guy whose ENTIRE CAMPAIGN was pledging to LOWER PRICES; and I mean promising that: “On day one, I will immediately end inflation and lower your prices” AT EVERY SINGLE CAMPAIGN RALLY he held, just told his supporters to “shut up about egg prices.” He conned you, MAGA.

We’re waiting for Vance to step in and go full Marie Antoinette*.
It's okay. We can eat cake instead. Or hit the breakfast special at his clubhouse.
