Trump Boosts Message Telling Americans to ‘Shut Up’ About Egg Prices

An article the president reposted on Truth Social contends that inflation isn’t as severe as critics suggest.

President Donald Trump promised cheaper groceries when he took office, but two months in, it seems the president is sick of all the complaining. To make his point, the president shared an article from the Daily Caller on Truth Social titled “Shut Up About Egg Prices — Trump Is Saving Consumers” that minimizes concerns about the increasing cost of eggs. The article, written by right-wing commentator Charlie Kirk, concedes that “a dozen currently costs around $7, up from just $2 in October.” However, Kirk contends that inflation during Trump’s presidency isn’t as severe as critics suggest and tells voters to stop whining. “The high price of eggs is in no way President Trump’s fault,” Kirk writes. “Almost all the increase took place during Biden’s final months in office.” The pro-Trump article further defended the president, saying, “Trump is already hard at work to deliver savings for American families.”
