Exclusive — Trump’s USDA Secretary Brooke Rollins on Lowering Egg Prices: ‘We’re On It,’ ‘Going to Do Everything We Can to Address It’
Breitbart ^ | 2-17-25 | Matthew Boyle

WASHINGTON — U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Secretary Brooke Rollins told Breitbart News late last week that President Donald Trump and his administration are keenly focused on lowering the price of eggs in the United States and prepared to take any and all actions needed to do so.

Rollins, who was confirmed by the U.S. Senate on Thursday as Trump’s Secretary of Agriculture, spoke to Breitbart News on Friday afternoon on her first full day as Secretary. Rollins previously served in Trump’s White House in his first term, and then later launched the America First Policy Institute—an outside group advocating for America First policies.

After Trump’s historic victory in November’s election, she was appointed to lead USDA—which is a critically important government department involved heavily in policies focused on food prices. Her interview with Breitbart News on Friday afternoon was her first print interview with a non-trade publication.

Rollins said that one of the very critical parts of Trump’s mandate is to lower food prices and combat inflation, and she intends to be part of leading the charge to make that happen.

“First of all, it’s very clear that the president campaigned on significant and transformational change,” Rollins told Breitbart News. “Having been next to him for three years in the last White House, having launched the America First Policy Institute to continue the America First policies beyond President Trump—when I launched it I didn’t know he was going to run again so that wasn’t even really part of the plan, but we knew when the next conservative administration came in we wanted to be ready, and I believe just so sincerely that our team in the last Trump administration was ready and then when that opportunity came again that we would prepare for that day.”

LOL. You got a big brass bed? Nothing is too good for the hens.

The Media will expect this to be accomplished by tomorrow morning. If it isn’t ... I guess Trump is a liar. Just like Hitler.

I froze a bunch of portions of scrambled eggs and stocked up on frozen breakfast burritos.

I imagine she has been told that this is her top priority — and to spare no expense in getting plenty of cheap eggs into supermarkets pronto.

Thank you, ma’am. Hasn’t effected us yet, we bought five dozen just before all the prices went up. We eat them slowly.

The same thing happened with toilet paper just before COVID. Wish I could do that with everything.

And just like that Bob Dylan’s song is again moving up the charts. It wasn’t until recently I thought the name of that song was Lady Elaine since singing about women was popular back then, think Sweet Caroline, Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds, Layla, Jolene, Lucille, Rhiannon, Help Me Rhonda etc.

It’s going to take a while to replace 20 million laying hens.

The dems seem to be doing something in their pants right now but doubt it is eggs.

Recall when Michelle Obama wanted to have all the school kids eating colorless, odorless and tasteless gruel paste for lunch. Like wearing masks and standing six feet apart, just made up garbage. Its all standard fare of a humiliation, submission and Luciferian control cult.

Here’s a crazy idea, don’t cull all the Chickens with another manufactured pandemic because Bill Gates and WEF Klaus Schwab want to create artificial shortages so the Communists can control the food supply and they can perform their longed for ‘Great Reset’ for their father Satan.

You vil eet zee bugs.
