“Remarkable Reversal”: CNN Stunned as President Trump’s Prediction Proves True

Liberty Daily ^ | 05/14/2025 | Thomas English

CNN dismissed President Donald Trump’s claims about falling grocery prices just weeks before government data confirmed the sharpest monthly decline in food-at-home costs in nearly five years.

The latest Consumer Price Index (CPI) showed the food-at-home index dipping 0.4% in April — the steepest drop since September 2020 — with egg prices alone falling 12.7%, the biggest one-month plunge since 1984. Those numbers landed Tuesday, the same day CNN Business conceded the president’s previous claims about egg prices are “true now.”

Harumph...somebody needs to tell Walmart, Food Lion, The Fresh Market, etc. this news. Eggs are still well over $6/dz in this area...bacon well over $6/lb. I am not seeing drops, iow...

[mmichaels1970]

$3.45/dozen here. Down from about $6. Got a ways to go though.

[Hot Tabasco]

Eggs are still well over $6/dz in this area..

Then it's regional. I just paid approx. $6.85 for 18 eggs.....A month and a half ago they were approx. $8.45

[griswold3]

Huge drop here. 18ct from $8.18 to $5.26 (.45 ea to .29)

[Kudsman]

CNN probably could have asked a diner owner, but they would have lied anyways.

[Adder]

That’s great!
Hopefully it will soon be that here.

I am seeing a slowing of grocery increases, overall. I doubt they will ever be down to 2020 levels ever again...they never go down to what they were...

[DeplorablePaul]

Biden told us the corporations were price gouging food prices. They have obviously decided to end price gouging because Trump is president. It couldn’t be that the price of oil has fallen.

[RandallFlagg]

Just watch.
The commies running commie states will see prices drop and say, “Oh goody! Let’s raise the state sales taxes!”

They did it to gas taxes years ago when they went down.

[dforest]

Some of them are just plain gouging now.

[Flaming Conservative]

Egg prices have not dropped in our area, northeast Oklahoma, but I know they’ve dropped in many areas.

[9YearLurker]

Definitely regional. Still high up here in the Northeast.

[MayflowerMadam]

Still seem higher here in E. TN than they should be. A little lower than during Biden, but not a dramatic decrease as in other places.

[Hot Tabasco]

The Eggland’s Best eggs I buy are produced here in Michigan. So maybe that’s why the cost is relatively lower than where you are....just my guess

[9YearLurker]

Probably always higher here in an expensive area of the country (and I think a lot of eggs still produced in Maine for us), but I’d guess the prices are also simply stickier in higher-cost areas once they go up.

[WKUHilltopper]

CNN should be stunned they still have jobs and are on the air.

[trebb]

Just looked up a local Walmart - $3.94 a dozen - down about $2.

[FlingWingFlyer]

CNN can’t understand why actual daily events are more accurate and correct than their daily “End of Demockrazy” news predictions.

[RinaseaofDs]

I’m in WA. Gas taxes ensure nothing but inflation here.

[Dan in Wichita]

Interesting. In the Wichita area, not far from you, I was paying over $6/dozen for eggs a few months ago.

Last Friday, I paid $3.99/dozen.

[SMARTY]

Same here in NE Ohio
