Trump Says Egg Prices Are “Too Low”; Reporters React with Confusion

Just when Americans were looking forward to a calm Easter, Donald Trump made headlines again—this time by claiming that egg prices are too low.

At a recent press conference, Trump was asked about the rising cost of living. But instead of focusing on inflation or grocery prices in general, he launched into a surprising rant about eggs.

“You can have all the eggs you want. We have too many eggs. In fact, if anything, the prices are getting too low,” he said.

His comments immediately sparked confusion among reporters, who began shouting questions in response.

To most Americans, lower egg prices are a relief. After years of fluctuating costs—due to bird flu outbreaks, inflation, and supply chain problems—eggs have finally become more affordable again. Many families had skipped traditional Easter celebrations in previous years because eggs were too expensive.

Small business owners, especially bakers and restaurant owners, were hit hard during those high-price periods. One baker in Denver even faced steep costs not just for eggs and chocolate, but also packaging due to tariffs introduced during Trump’s presidency.

While Trump seemed to suggest that falling egg prices were a bad sign, many people see it as good news. For them, it means they can finally afford to enjoy simple comforts again—like baking cookies or making breakfast without worrying about the cost.

Critics say Trump’s comment is just another in a long list of strange complaints, comparing it to past statements he’s made—like concerns about toilets flushing too much or wind turbines causing health issues.
