Nolte: Price of Eggs Down 61% Since Trump Took Office
Breitbart ^ | 06/02/2025 | John Nolte

Posted on 06/02/2025 7:52:03 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Since President Trump took office in January, the average price for a dozen eggs has plummeted from $6.49 on January 21 to just $2.52 today.

That is a 61 percent drop, Fox News points out. It is an even bigger drop from the $8.00 per dozen average eggs hit in March.

Some of that price drop can be attributed to the decrease in demand caused by those insane price increases, as well as fewer bird flu cases.

Where the Trump administration deserves the most credit is its decision to proactively increase the importation of eggs from foreign countries until America’s bird flu epidemic, which has wiped out some 127 million chickens, is under better control.

They’ll start a new conspiracy stating Trump is “manipulating” egg prices to gain political advantage - an impeachable offense...

Dem talking points are when they deliberately corrupt something and then get their MSM lapdogs to talk about it.

In other words, all of the misery of the last decade was deliberate and created by the same people who owned all the slaves. For the same reasons — they enjoy bullying everyone else. Karens are not atypical, they are the Demo mainstream.

Not here, unfortunately. Most common price in my area is $5.99, which is way above what it was before all the chicken murders.

I wish the MSM would stop crowing about how great this is and bending backward to give Trump credit. /sarc

LOL.

Funny how the Left’s machinations are never referred to as conspiracies but every criticism from the Right is labeled as such.

What turned out to be a good thing for me and my wife was we found multiple LOCAL farmers that sell eggs.

These are mostly small gentlemen farmer and backyard farmer types. Although, one person did formerly have a small commercial chicken farm with 3000 birds. She has now downsized to about fifty birds. She is now concentrating on sheep. She has about 50 sheep now. She makes cheese and gelato. She also sells lamb chops, ground lamb, lamb meats, and sheep skins.

There are three other places all within three miles of my house that sell eggs. One literally gives them away when she has too many. the going rate is typically $4-5/dozen.

People have very short memories. So the price of eggs were up and many complained about it. Trump said prices would go down, and they did. Now, come election time just how many of the egg price worry warts will remember kept that particular promise?

Not that many years ago, I remember being outraged when the price of eggs went up to around $2.50/dozen. Now everyone is thinking that price is great, so $2.50 or $3 will become the new normal price.

The old price ratchet just keeps clicking away.

Zero to to with Trump!!!

The bird flu mess is getting cleaned up, so chicken flocks are growing back to norm which means production is up.

Ascribing every economic event that takes place to the WH occupant at the time is just ignorance.
