Hm. Maybe I should buy Trump and Musk “We did that.” stickers, and add them to price tags while shopping? After all, they shut down the agencies meant to control bird flu, meat inspection, and so many other things…
Reddit is already fully onboard pushing this dumb fuck narrative, if you were doubting whether they were fully captured or not.
This Saturday there were no eggs at Costco again for the 3rd week on a row.
Goddamn this Biden economy! Poor little d was handed such a TERRIBLE economy.
Every Republican says so and they would never lie. So do the maximalist leftists and the enlightened centrists, so it must be true. I’m sure the economy would have been even worse under Kamala. Thank Athena that little d and fElon are working to fix the terrible economy that Biden left them…
“The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.”
It was suppose to be a cautionary tale, not a fucking guide book.
Well and Idiocracy was supposed to be a comedy, too.
We need some trump did this stickers to match the biden ones.
I’m gonna need some of these and the trump ones when I get laid off in a couple weeks…
“I will immediately bring prices down starting on Day 1,” he said on Aug. 15, for example. “Starting the day I take the oath of office, I will rapidly drive prices down,” he promised later that same month.
He backed away from that last month.
This is what Murca needs. More lies and long cons. Murca was lied to, and Krasnov only needed 1/3 of them to fall for it.
MAGA supporter: “iT wAs NeVeR aBoUt tHe PriCe of EgGs. yOu’Re MiSsiNG tHe PoInT.”
I mean, to be fair… stock prices are rapidly being driven down, so he was kinda right.
Nice! That would make a great cartoon!
Krasnov pledges to bring prices down in panel 1. He has a bunch of MAGA voting for him in panel 2. In panel 3, he slaps tariffs on and off. In panel 4 we see him self-congratulatory while stonks go down brrrrrr.
We handed the country over to a dictator because of eggs. The least he could do to say thank you is lower their prices.
just goes to show you that he doesn’t give two shot about anyone but himself, and SOMETIMES his family…. 1/3rd of america voted for this, because they wanted to be able to discriminate again.
All we needed was that one shot…
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow This opportunity comes once in a lifetime, yo You better lose yourself in the music The moment, you own it, you better never let it go.
Fox News was pushing that Americans should get chickens so they can get their own eggs.
Fox is in our henhouse?
Also, Fox supports coops.
Note: the “p” is silent.
My neighbors regularly lose chickens to coyotes…
raccoons eat more of them.
Raccoons will brutalize them. Lost both of my chickens to a raccoon the size of a damn dog.
My dog doesn’t mess with raccoons. And he’s a lab. I’m glad he keeps his distance, cause ya know, rabies.
It sounds like we have to deport those coyotes back to where they came from.
Have they considered building a wall?
Yeah, you hear that, PEASANTS? Shut the fuck up about the prices of things, and TAKE IT. Show some goddamn respect for your BETTERS.
Billionaires need some peace and quiet while they divvy up the country’s spoils amongst each other. Spoils from YOUR hard labor, by the way.
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!
It can’t be that bad. What does one egg cost? Ten dollars? That’s nothing.
Someone needs to update this for eggs…
Also,
Whoa, whoa, whoa! There’s still plenty of albumen on those eggshells! You take 'em home, throw 'em in a pot, add some broth, a potato…
Hopefully that ↑.
But I suspect most will be like ↓
HAHAHAA. Perfect reference. 🤣
The high price of eggs is in no way President Trump’s fault
To be fair - that is true. It’s not like he infected all the birds.
However, if you’re the president that just slapped a bunch of tariffs on neighboring countries … optics looking kinda bad ngl.
He did fire a bunch of the people in public health who were trying to make policies to prevent the birds being infected.
Just like how we have routine food recalls because he shuttered lots of food regulation during his first term. Wonder how much Boar’s Head has donated to the Republican Party….
saved you a click:
President Donald Trump promised cheaper groceries when he took office, but two months in, it seems the president is sick of all the complaining. To make his point, the president shared an article from the Daily Caller on Truth Social titled “Shut Up About Egg Prices — Trump Is Saving Consumers” that minimizes concerns about the increasing cost of eggs. The article, written by right-wing commentator Charlie Kirk, concedes that “a dozen currently costs around $7, up from just $2 in October.” However, Kirk contends that inflation during Trump’s presidency isn’t as severe as critics suggest and tells voters to stop whining. “The high price of eggs is in no way President Trump’s fault,” Kirk writes. “Almost all the increase took place during Biden’s final months in office.” The pro-Trump article further defended the president, saying, “Trump is already hard at work to deliver savings for American families.”
Despite the factual accuracy of when this began, it does not mean he can go unblamed.
I mean, the price increase of eggs is largely because of the bird flu. I criticize him at every opportunity, but he doesn’t have a ton of control over that.
Egg supplies in the US are down like 5%. The price bullshit isn’t just from that.
EDIT: Because I know some people will want some hard numbers, I looked some up quickly.
USDA report puts some hard numbers on American egg production (Published: February 20, 2025, so these are 2024 numbers)
The average number of egg-laying hens fell to 375 million, a 2 percent drop from the previous year, while egg production declined 1 percent to 109 billion eggs. The total U.S. chicken inventory also decreased by 2 percent, reaching 514 million birds.
Despite a modest rise in broiler chicken prices, egg prices have surged. In late January, the wholesale price for large eggs in New York soared to $7.46 per dozen — more than double last year’s $2.94. USDA now projects an annual average egg price of $4.44 per dozen.
Highly pathogenic avian influenza remains a major driver of price fluctuations. Though the report does not account for recent bird losses in 2025, economist Bernt Nelson of the American Farm Bureau Federation estimates that 43 million birds were lost in January and February alone — representing 25 percent of all birds affected since the outbreak began in 2022. These losses suggest continued price volatility as producers work to rebuild flocks.
https://www.agdaily.com/livestock/poultry/usda-report-puts-hard-numbers-on-american-egg-production/
Now, the article does mention the recent bird infections being higher at 25%, however look at the specific wording used. “representing 25 percent of all birds affected since the outbreak began in 2022”. So it’s saying the recent infections and kills represent that amount from the last 2+ years of avian flu infections, not a sudden spike of 25% of the current supply.
The down votes are because people are mad that you’re right.
However they made it a campaign issue so it’s fair game
Exactly, you run on the claim that you’ll plummet egg prices immediately, you better plummet egg prices immediately. And more importantly you better not pull out the exact same line the previous administration gave for why they’re high, even if it’s true
So, you want him to lie about why they’re high? I agree with the campaign promise, though.
Ideally I want him to have not made something out of his control into a campaign promise that his supporters believed, but since he did, he should own it.
Or do we give him a pass because a reasonable adult wouldn’t believe anything he says is true?
