Talk about having egg on your face. In an article published Tuesday on their website, CNN decided to make a badly-cooked omelette out of itself by admitting President Donald Trump was actually on to something about falling egg prices, but still attempted to say he was still peddling “fiction.” CNN Business Executive Editor David Goldman just couldn't bring himself to fully admit that Trump was right and wrote an oxymoronic headline that reeked of contradiction, “Trump’s egg price fiction has suddenly become reality.”
Yeah, we couldn’t make sense of that logic either.

Walmart box of 60 below $17 down from $28 in Feb. No end of increases in sight under that idiot Biden killing all the chickens every time one was found with a fever.
NASDAQ is back over 19,000.
Oxymorons are more powerful than hydromorons.
Egglands Best are $3.82 at Walmart. They do have more vitamins because of what they feed the birds.
Die hard democrats made up the lie that Trump was responsible for rising egg price and they have a hard time giving up the belief. They desperately need some hardship to blame Trump for, now that the tariff thing is fading away.
Must have hurt like a pinecone stool to have to squeeze that admission out.
The problem I’ve been seeing isn’t with egg prices but the price of egg whites.....when you can find them that is.
One of the walmarts I go to hasn’t had ANY in weeks, and Aldi has been a hit or miss for a while now.
CNN
COMPLETELY NOT NEWS
They were dummies to say that Trump had anything to do with egg prices when they went up, he didn’t .
Market forces move the prices
my new buzz word for 2025: Eggonomics.
Eggs US decreased 2.36 USD/DOZEN or 40.60% since the beginning of 2025, according to trading on a contract for difference (CFD) that tracks the benchmark market for this commodity. Historically, Eggs US reached an all time high of 8.17 in March of 2025. source: USDA

Also, orange juice is down.
“Orange Juice decreased 239.96 USd/Lbs or 48.23% since the beginning of 2025, according to trading on a contract for difference (CFD) that tracks the benchmark market for this commodity. Historically, Orange Juice reached an all time high of 589 in September of 2024.”

I'm still not taking that Tide pod challenge.
Yeah I saw that headline.
Trump figured out how to get more mileage out of the lower price of eggs by bragging early and continuing to brag as the press (and others) screamed. Then the news had to report prices were down. Sneaky and funny move!
When the price goes up, people are incentivized to find new supplies. The power of free markets.
I think Trump knows whats coming, and says things to stir the pot.
Remember a few days ago he said something asking how many had bought $2/gallon gas and he it was 2.80 to $3. Don’t be shocked if his $2/gal gas becomes reality in the not distant future.
A dozen jumbo eggs were $6.78 at WalMart a few months ago, $3.78 last week. Politicians and news propagandists should not try to lie about something that can be verified at the local store. Guess they don’t but their own groceries, so they think no one else does either.
Easy....
The TDS is so strong in leftists, they can’t admit he’s done ANYTHING good, without smearing him first and making it sound like anything good is by accident or the responsibility of someone else.
