Trump Says Egg Prices Are “Too Low” Now?! Internet Explodes Over His Shocking Claim 🥚 Donald Trump just said what now? While most Americans are still side-eyeing their grocery receipts and wincing at the cost of eggs, Trump pulled up to the mic and declared the opposite: egg prices are too low. Yes, really. Speaking to reporters after Dr. Mehmet Oz was sworn in as the new CMS Administrator, Trump gave a shoutout to Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins and praised her for egg prices being down “87%.” Then he doubled down with a line that made jaws drop: “You can have all the eggs you want. We have too many eggs.”
The internet is understandably losing it. Because let’s be real—many of us just paid $5 for a dozen eggs last month, and now we’re being told they’re basically in overflow mode? According to the Department of Agriculture, the average wholesale price as of April 19 is $3.13. That’s down from February’s painful $5.90, but still a far cry from “too cheap.” And yet, Trump insists, “Prices are down. Groceries are down. Eggs, they were doubling and tripling when I took office. You couldn’t get any. Now you can have all the eggs you want.”
This statement is classic Trump energy: bold, unfiltered, and meme-ready. But it also raises a real question—are we living in different grocery store realities? While the USDA does confirm that prices have cooled from earlier highs, they also say it’s “not yet conducive to more than normal purchase needs,” meaning most folks are still budgeting carefully.
Trump’s remark might have been aimed at reinforcing his campaign narrative: that he’s lowering costs and delivering results. In fairness, he did promise during his 2024 campaign that he’d bring prices down “starting on day one.” But even the White House now admits that inflation isn't something a president can fully control—especially with global disruptions like COVID and the war in Ukraine playing a role.
Still, Trump isn’t backing down. “They said you won’t have eggs for Easter,” he said. “Well, you can have all the eggs you want.” Whether it’s optimism, spin, or just classic Trump bravado, one thing’s for sure: the memes are writing themselves.
