U.S. egg prices increased again last month to reach a new record-high of $6.23 per dozen despite President Donald Trump’s predictions, a drop in wholesale prices and no egg farms having bird flu outbreaks.
While at the White House in Washington, D.C., on Friday, April 18, the president, 78, reacted to egg prices and the current state of the economy... Giving a shoutout to Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins, Trump said she is doing "a great job," before he claimed that egg prices "are down 87%, but nobody talks about that."
“You can have all the eggs you want. We have too many eggs. In fact, if anything, the prices are getting too low. So I just want to let you know that the prices are down,”
At Food City yesterday, the store brand eggs were on sale for $4.99, down from $5.49. Around January, 2020, eggs were priced about $1-$2. The president is good at saying things are happening when they aren't. Why would anyone believe him when the evidence is so readily available?
