'Shut Up About Egg Prices': Trump Shares Brazen Message About High Costs

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.
