(DC Pundit) – President Donald Trump has found himself under fire from those on the left over the latest crisis to hit American breakfast tables: skyrocketing egg prices. As he jetted off to the Daytona 500 reporters ambushed him with questions about this egg-streme situation.
Trump, ever the master of the mainstream media, responded: “Well, there’s a flu. Before I got here, it was already at an all-time high,” he asserted. “I’ve been here for three weeks. I have had nothing to do with inflation. This was caused by Biden.”
Trump continued: “I’ll tell you what, this country has made more progress in the last three weeks than it’s made in the last four years, and we’re respected again as a country.”
Let’s take a moment to look at the facts: During Trump’s first term, egg prices were as stable as a chicken on Valium, costing around $1.32 per dozen when he first took office in January 2017. But during Biden’s tenure, prices skyrocketed to $4.15 per dozen by December 2024. That’s a nearly 200% increase.

White House spokesperson Leavitt, when questioned, had this to say: “I’m really glad you brought this up,” she said. “In 2024, when Joe Biden was in the Oval Office or upstairs sleeping, I’m not so sure, egg prices increased 65 percent.”
Leavitt went on: “The Biden Administration and the Department of Agriculture directed the MASS KILLING of more than 100 million chickens, which has led to a lack of chicken supply in this country, therefore a lack of egg supply.”
White House Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett revealed the Trump administration’s strategy: “What we need to do is have better ways with biosecurity and medication and so on to make sure that the perimeter doesn’t have to kill the chickens. We have a better, smarter perimeter.”
Hassett added that there’s no reason for a widespread culling of chickens when it’s actually ducks and geese spreading the disease.
