Why is the price of eggs so high? Trump can’t lower them – and he isn’t interested. | Opinion – Yahoo News Canada

Why is it not President Donald Trump to do something for the price of eggs? They have repeatedly told me that the high cost of eggs and other groceries is issue # 1 for US voters, which made them choose a convicted criminal as a president over a highly qualified woman.

Once this happened, I decided, “Okay, it looks a little crazy, but at least now egg prices will decrease. I love eggs too! “

But now I continue to read that egg prices will continue to increase. CNN’s title that day read: “Expect record egg prices for most of the year.”

I didn’t expect it! I was told that the old man elected president so that he could determine the prices of eggs would deal with this problem. Did he forget? Trump, 78, is often claimed by President Joe Biden, experiencing a cognitive decline?

I was told that Trump would quickly reduce egg prices – but they continue to increase

Eggs are monitored for sale at a grocery store in Glendale, California, on January 6, 2025, Bird Flu, a disconnected supply chain and other factors have contributed to a sharp increase in egg prices in California.

I realized that Trump was only president for a short while, but he promised to take care of egg prices and more, saying that once he was chosen, “We will reduce those prices.”

Not to be worn, but “record high egg prices for most of the year” is neither fast nor down.

Trump is too busy doing dumb things to work on bird flu

Some, of course, will claim that this is not Trump’s fault, as an egg price is a key factor in raising egg prices in American poultry farms. According to US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Trump recently ordered external communications – more than 136 million birds in the United States have been infected or killed by bird flu.

To which I say, “Okay, well. But what does Trump do to help the home industry and limit the distribution of bird flu and get prices for my damn eggs under control so I can afford my morning omelette? “

Opinion: Trump did not wait to swear to start breaking his promises of his campaign

The answer to this seems to be: Buupkis. He is too busy, threatening other countries with tariffs and deportation of people, two things that, according to a recent Harvard Business Review piece “.

I do not want the fruits to be luxury goods. I want luxury goods to be luxury goods and fruits to be something I have with my eggs for a well -rounded breakfast.

Maybe if we just inject all the chicks with bleach for egg prices, they will decrease

A sign posted on Pick 'N Save Metro Market has informed readers about increasing egg prices due to shortage.

Perhaps, if we were dealing with undocumented Guatemala chickens, President Trump would find time to deal with the Bird Flu Problem. Or maybe he thinks he can threaten birds with heavy tariffs and force them to solve their own flu problem.

I am sure that if the US Senate confirms Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., the choice of Trump to lead the US Department of Health and Human Services, which runs CDC and works with the US Department of Agriculture, they will come up with some kind of vaccine. .. It doesn’t matter. This will not happen.

Opinion: Gop attacks a bishop that he told Trump to “have mercy.” Don’t tell them about Jesus.

If Trump confirms Kennedy, the administration is more likely to try to beat the poultry flu and drive the prices of eggs by injecting all chickens in America with a bleach cocktail and a horse decontamination.

Or that, or Kennedy, will force all poultry to feed their birds raw milk.

God, maybe the president does not really have much influence on food prices

The whole thing is a bit of a mess and it is enough to make a person think that there is no devil from a very president to do to get out of food prices – at least not easy.

On Sunday, Vice President J.

The elected President Donald Trump announced on November 25, 2024 that he would use executive orders to execute a 25% tariff, which is a tax or fee, on all imported goods from Mexico and Canada and 10% tariff against China. If Trump's tariff plan continues after he has taken office in January, then this may affect the price of various oil products, food to even paper. Continue to read to see some of the objects that could be influenced by tariffs.

Okay, I guess.

But there was no time on the traces of the campaign when Trump or Vance said they would reduce the cost of food for “little time”.

Opinion: Trump lied to food prices. He now says it’s too hard to reduce costs.

Republicans spent four years accusing Biden of high food and inflation prices, although everyone knew that the Covid-19 pandemia was the main driver of these problems.

And when inflation begins to fall, none of the right is lending to Biden. They simply continued to accuse him of food prices, which increased and were not – and they would probably never lower.

If Republicans blame Biden for food costs blame Trump

So if Biden had to have high egg prices, even when it didn’t make sense, I would be cursed if I won’t insist on Trump’s possession of high egg prices now, especially after transgender people and migrants instead of doing something, instead of doing something, to make the eggs more accessible.

Something like … Oh, I don’t know … Maybe I’m helping to eliminate the stupid bird problem instead of thinking about an invasion of Greenland !!

Anyhoo, over the weekend, Trump approached a trade war with Colombia, which could scatter our coffee costs. He still threatens the tariffs for Canada and Mexico. American cultures will begin to rot if it deports or scares the workers of migrant farms.

Something tells me that “little time” Vance said it would take the lower food prices, it could extend to more than “a long time”.

Almost as if Trump and Co are never interested in what regular people pay for eggs first.
