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

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!"
  
  You need eggs to make cake
  
  Let them eat quiche
  
  Ew, gluten free cake
- Why aren’t you wearing a suit to go grocery shopping? Show some respect!
  
  Have you instructed your servant to search more thoroughly?
  
  It can’t be that bad. What does one egg cost? Ten dollars? That’s nothing.
- Have you said thank you once?
- Somehow, democrats' messaging from September made it into this thread.
  
  Uh-huh. 🙄

Fucking LOL. He ran on egg prices. “Shut the fuck up about eggs.”
- 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.
- Elon is triggered... so talk more about eggs. Publish and share more egg recipes and recommend more dishes with eggs in them.
- Just go eat a cat or possibly dog.
  
  I think you’re only allowed to do that if you’re an immigrant. If you’re an American, you’re legally obliged to uncritically consume absolute nonsense propaganda and be super racist towards said immigrants.

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.
- “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.
- 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

I voted for Trump because he Promised to LOWER Egg Prices and I STILL support Trump after he told me to SHUT UP and ACCEPT these Super High Egg Prices! I think for MYSELF!
- 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.
  
  The only reason the redcaps nod their head in response to information is to make sure the air doesn’t escape through the ears

Why are they complaining about eggs, can’t they just eat cake?
/s
- I really hope most people got this reference :)
  
  Our education system is bad, but it's not "don't teach about the French revolution" bad. Hell my high school even made a point to point out that Antoinette was a teenager who likely didn't actually say that
- Eggs are an ingredient for most types of cake
  
  Very nice! I got that one!

Imagine campaigning on ‘immediate relief’ and then reposting an article that screams ‘suck it up.’ Iconic failure. Missed opportunities to explore potential solutions or broader economic implications.
🐱🐱

The Americans need to learn from the French where one egg is un oeuf.

“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.”
  
  They are the egg men.
- 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.

The real reason trumps wants Canada to be US
- 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.
  
  For now lol
  
  eggschange rate
- Lmao why do eggs need a tiktok
  
  Because they only lip sync. (You didn't think they could really sing, did you?)

"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 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...

Make American Grocery Affordable
- No pre-shredded cheese. Make America grate again
  
  No USDA. Make America grade again.

Fox News was pushing that Americans should get chickens so they can get their own eggs.
- All of the Facebook groups I’m in for keeping backyard chickens are infested with conspiracy loons. They think the bird flu isn’t real, and that the culls are a ploy to get us to eat fake meat.
  So we probably are going to have an outbreak - the same fuckers who refused to wear masks sure as hell aren’t going to safely handle sick chickens. Time to invest in ivermectin stock I guess.
- *Fox State Media.
- How is that gonna work when so many properties are under the thumb of HOAs.
  
  Or apartments?
- My neighbors regularly lose chickens to coyotes…
  
  Have they considered building a wall?
  
  It sounds like we have to deport those coyotes back to where they came from.
  
  raccoons eat more of them.
- Sounds like a good way to spread avian flu, though I guess Fox News probably doesn't care about that.
  Also there was an article I saw that ran the numbers, and it would take way too many chickens plus selling some of the eggs for that to break even for most families.
- Fox wants people to have chickens. Nothing suspicious about this surely
- Fox is in our henhouse?
  
  Also, Fox supports coops.
  Note: the "p" is silent.
- How long until they have Americans smelting iron in their back yards?

Good. Americans deserve this.
- 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?
- We do.
- Yep we all suck
- I can tell you're a good, empathetic person from how you blame victims for their own suffering. Keep up the good fight, comrade! /S
  
  Please tell me how you're a good person as you vainly paint Americans as the "victims" in this LOL

It's so incredible that everything was bidens fault day one of his presidency, but with Trump it's the fault of the previous administration, and no body brings up this double standard at all. What a double standard.
Also, we all know that Trump can't lower the price of eggs himself, just like biden couldn't lower gas prices by himself. The fact that Trump and his ilk RAN on lowering grocery prices, especially eggs, is why we're still talking about it and why a lot of Americans are upset. Now the right are calling us idiots and whiners for still talking about eggs while they are still going up, while the last 4 years nobody on that side could shut up about gas prices.
They put those 'biden did this' stickers on pumps until the final moments of his administration, I say we do the same to eggs.

We need some trump did this stickers to match the biden ones.
- He should be sieg-heiling instead of pointing. It's amazing how many people out there don't realize he's a full on fucking nazi.
  
  I'm gonna need some of these and the trump ones when I get laid off in a couple weeks...
- I think the businesses should start putting them up. In the cases of things affected by his stupid tariffs, it will actually be true in this case.
  
  I agree completely. But no one with a business seems to want their wrath.
- Gladly, I would love to post those all over my stores.

What’s funny is I was just thinking about how all the news sites are itching to drop their Easter egg story so we’re about to hear a lot more about eggs
- Holy shit I didn't see that on the horizon. That'll be great....
  Jokes about the eggs made of gold etc etc

Eggs
Eggs
Eggs
- 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."

Tell him to go fuck off back to putinland and leave us to ourselves

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….
- Not entirely true, as H5N1 isnt working to do this on its own. He's made nondocumented workes feel unsafe so it's hard for them to work. Specifically in the low wage work one finds on a farm, especially if the work is in a red state. Look at Kentucky, for example.
  
  Ah, ye that makes sense. Kinda forgot about that aswell. Thanks for pointing it out!
- I'm actually smart enough to understand this. But they blamed Biden for shit that he had no control over so I'm going to be spiteful and blame everything bad on Trump.
  This blame game goes two ways Republicans. See you at the midterms.
  
  "Gas is too high! Why doesn't the President just pull the lever to make them not high?!"
  Biden releases strategic reserves to lower prices.
  "Ye-- Ye-- Well, the price of eggs is too fucking high. Pull that lever! I dare you!"
  Hm, we don't have a strategic egg supply to make simple people happy. This will be a challenge...
  Trump claims he'll lower it by getting elected. How? Who the fuck knows and no one cares.
  "Why aren't the prices lower yet?!"
  Well, gosh, it couldn't have to do with a complex system where there aren't magic levers one just pulls to make things happen... Guess it's Trump's fault. What's good for the goose (Biden) is good for the gander (Trump), after all.
- Eggs are 4x regular price. Chicken (meat) has barely moved. There's no lack of stock, on a perishable product and the prices are incredibly high.
  Greed made that price.
- This is also going to start some knees to jerking, but he's also technically correct that inflation specifically hasn't been that bad, if you actually look at inflation rates it's not particularly worse than what we've had in other decades, the 90's which we associate with a bountiful economy had higher inflation rates for a longer period of time.
  What's making all of this untenable is companies doing everything they can to avoid paying livable wages and most of all price gouging. Which they're doing with eggs for good reason, but we also have to understand that anything that uses poultry is also going to take a hit, and then, like magic, a variety of other companies and services use these specific gouges as a justification to raise their own prices beyond inflation levels, even if they sell things that have never touched a chicken, like fucking mortgages and medical care.
  We used to have bureaus and departments to keep this kind of thing in check. You can argue their effectiveness but at least we had them.

A dozen eggs cost almost $13 at the grocery store today. We didn’t get eggs.
- We have to be getting close to the point where its cheaper to just buy a hen.
  
  Fox news was unironically using that as a defense of Trump a few days ago.
  
  Until the hen(s) get(s) bird flu... 🤷‍♂️

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...

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

The democrats, "we better stop. we might lose our brand as a gop sub."

When the Democrats said "What are you talking about? The economy is doing great!" the rightoids correctly called this shit out. Now that it's Trump doing it, I wonder what the response will be?
- Now that it’s Trump doing it, I wonder what the response will be?
  "How could Biden do this?"
  Is the response I've seen so far.
  
  Just saw the Keebler Elf Mike Johnson say almost exactly that a short time ago. I mean, really, WTAF.
  Little d messes around with tariffs, the market reacts, and Mike Johnson the weird Keebler porn elf, is out there saying "we are seeing the effect of the last administration's horrible economy" or some such nonsense....as if we cannot all see with our fucking eyes, the games that little d is playing and the effect it is having. I'm horrified that people actually fall for such obvious bullshit, especially after such a great economy was handed off to little d.
- The Democrats were not exactly wrong. But a lot of people twist it and act like they said it's perfect, and perfect for everyone, which they did not say.
  We are about to find out how much worse it can actually get, and I guess the people that were saying "Bidenomics" was the worst thing ever and total tyranny, etc., are likely going to have to eat their words....
- Republicans are dipshits who will now happily buy a carton of eggs for $10 because it's "owning da libs".
- I don't often go to Fox News, but man under Fox Business and the stock market going down, people are actually upvoting very negative reactions to all of this. It was surprising to read. I thought somehow they were going to sugarcoat it, but they aren't, and in most cases upvotes are far outnumbering the downvotes.

I think Americans should stop buying eggs
- 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 use a shelf-stable egg replacer in my baking, mostly because I hardly ever have eggs on hand. (Bob's Red Mill is the brand I see, but I'm sure there's other brands out there)
  I guess I'm big on shelf-stable substitutes for stuff that goes bad fast: I also have powdered milk for baking/sauces, and textured vegetable protein to add protein and texture to things I'd usually use ground meat for, where the meat's flavor would be overpowered by the sauce anyway.
  
  3 tbsp nut butter
  hee hee hee.
  
  You underestimate the power of laziness. That's a lot of steps to approximate an egg.
  It's far easier to bake less and eat fewer eggs. Trust a lazy person. Either that or I'll wait until eggplants can grow real eggs.
- 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.
  
  I've never liked eggs. Never bought an egg in my life. Though I admit I do eat things with eggs in them. If they disappeared completely, I'd miss cake, cookies, ranch dressing, and breaded chicken. Still, I'd rather do without those things than vote for Donald Trump. Having never used eggs for cooking and eaten many delicious meals without them, I'm baffled that so many people find it so hard to just do without them.

Biden is the worst it will be fixed as soon as I get in there... Gets in there: this isn't my fault stop whining.

I love the way Trump says it's going to hurt a lot before it gets better.
Why?
- What's even stupider is that he still has the support he has. I'd love to start seeing more man on the street interviews asking the redcaps if they voted FOR tariffs. If they stupidly say yes, because, hey, they are a fucking cult, I want the follow-up question to be WHY? What do they think it will really do, in the short term? Also ask them why the CHIPS program was killed, if they are so interested in American jobs....
  
  Yeah. I guess I always knew at some level, not that I gave it much thought in the past, that there was a chance fascism could take hold in America. But what surprises me is how friggin stupid they are. How can anyone listen to Trump talk for more than 5 minutes without their bullshit alarm going off.

250% increase in price.
- I love Qalc

~~We have always been at war with~~ Eggs have always been expensive.

$2/ dozen in Asia, mates! Laughing at america rn.

Weak Trump trembles before daddy big egg

The frustrating thing here is that it was possible to know that the President doesn't really have a lot of power over the price of things before the election, and not vote based on something that Trump can't fix. "All Presidents must answer for the price of $ITEM" is a terrible way to vote.

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...

- I'm eating even less eggs than usual, and it was already very, very low.
  Probably the only reason our family eats them at all at this point is because a neighbor gives us the eggs from their hens. There is nothing to say their hens won't get bird flu, so I'm not sure how much longer I'm going to eat eggs.
- IIRC Costco's supplier had a salmonella outbreak back in December: https://abcnews.go.com/US/fda-escalates-recall-costco-eggs-include-risks-severe/story?id=117092796

Don't pay any attention to egg prices. The economy is great actually.
Now where have I heard that in the past few months?
- The qons are saying it's a bad economy, even though they inherited a very strong economy. They are of course blaming the downturn which is thanks to little d's games with tariffs, on Biden.
  Of course they also act like it was Biden out there strangling millions of chickens himself to mess with the egg supply.
  
  Why the hell did you have to put that image in my head?!?!
  Nobody google biden-choking-chicken.jpg!
  
  The qons are saying it’s a bad economy, even though they inherited a very strong economy.
  However, Kirk contends that inflation during Trump’s presidency isn’t as severe as critics suggest and tells voters to stop whining.
  Sounds like centrists gaslighting people who couldn't afford groceries and telling them that the economy was the most perfectest thing ever.

Currently in Australia eggs range from US$3.40 for a dozen cage eggs, to US$5.50 for a dozen free range organic.
- 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.

Reddit is already fully onboard pushing this dumb fuck narrative, if you were doubting whether they were fully captured or not.
- Oh, I totally believe there are plenty of qon bootlickers aching to try to change the subject after little d showed himself to be a complete failure on yet another of his stupid promises.

"You have served your purpose peons, now go away while my buddies dismantle your country"

A broken clock is right twice per day you fucking omnivors
- A broken clock may be forever wrong, whereas a stopped clock may be right twice per day.

I'm as against trump as anyone else, but let's say your candidate of choice was just put in power a month ago, would you expect new economic policies to have lowered the price of something nationwide? What's the historical precedent for something like that? Biden releasing strategic reserve of oil comes to mind, and IIRC that didn't put a dent in prices.
I worry that folks making a big deal out of this at this point in time are effectively being the same as the "I did this" Biden sticker folks, and idk about you but I sure thought they were asshats. Six months down the line, sure, hold him accountable for what he ran for. But idk how much economic impact a president has in two months time.
- 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.
  
  These are all great reasons why egg prices are high, and will continue to be high.
  All I'm asking for is precedent for a president to impact nationwide prices in 2 months time. What do you think is a reasonable window after which to assess a presidents impact on pricing of a national commodity?
- Then he shouldn’t have made egg (and grocery) prices immediately going down a central theme of his campaign.
- 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.
  
  Subsidize egg prices with all the money he's supposedly saving?
  My understanding is that he's giving $400 million in direct subsidies to egg farmers, as part of a $1 billion package to USDA to lower the cost of eggs.
- 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.)
