Trump begging Denmark for eggs

But think about how many products use the eggs.

The local bakery in my town has already faced backlash for raising their prices to account for the price of eggs. Pies went from $28 each to $30 ea. It's hurting the smaller local businesses because places like Costco, Walmart, and grocery stores have been able to keep their baked goods prices pretty much the same, which is much cheaper.

Same thing is happening with my favorite donut shop. It's not as bad there, though, because Dunkin did raise their donut prices to ~$16/dozen and the local shop is $25/dozen and theirs are much larger.


As usual it's going to hurt the smaller, local places far more and sooner. But, a lot of people don't think beyond "just cut back on eggs". Then it will be flour, and then something else.

It’s $7.12 for 18 eggs at Walmart.
That’s less than 40 cents per egg.
They cost more than they used to, but in terms of a high quality protein source, that is still a bargain.

Exactly. And slightly over a third of dumb people in the United States voted for this, and another third didn't bother to vote.

Lots of small business owners and farmers I know voted to do this to themselves, by voting for republican for president and Congress. Not all, but a fairly significant number.

These small businesses now need to "cut back on eggs" and figure out what they are going to do..l And, yes, there are going to be a lot more shortages where that came from.

Unless you want to get stuff from Russia or North Korea, Trump and Republicans have just pissed off most of the rest of the world in just two months.

Be sure to tell everyone that the higher prices Trump promised to fix on his first day are really no big deal - everything is fine, no it's great. Planes aren't crashing, economies aren't crashing, we aren't in stupid pointless wars with former friends and allies from all over the world

And we have these reassuring words from ol JD

I was specifically speaking about the consumer purchase of eggs. Use fewer eggs. Buying a cake from a bakery or donuts is already a luxury/unnecessary purchase. If you’re feeling pain from them adding $2 to a cake then how is a $28 cake affordable to you? Also, that doesn’t sound that expensive…


Eggs are staple. It'd be like mocking people because they can't afford flour or bread. Stop being a jerk.

Literally every economist is saying the opposite. The WSJ is going crazy, along with business owners. But, remember he admitted to lying for political persuasion.

They are likely all wrong. Trump and Vance have it all figured out, they just need the rest of the world to play by their rules.

Can’t he just do some magic voodoo and bring back the hundreds of thousands of chickens that Biden murdered?

Canada has plenty of eggs to sell, but somebody pissed them off.

Eggs are a staple in a lot of American cooking, and have been for a long time. You're asking most of the country to make a pretty drastic shift in their diet, when many of them depend on eggs as a formerly cheap protein, at a time when the cost of groceries has skyrocketed. It's not as simple as "just don't use eggs!" Dummy.


You can in fact use fewer eggs. They are produced inhumanely anyway. Eat beans if you want protein.



You can always get pasture raised organic eggs, which are humane.

They cost 3x as much as conventional eggs, but I think they are worth it. They even taste better and have noticeably harder shells.

It's important to understand that eggs are an ingredient in countless products. This is about more than omelettes and scrambled eggs.

He wants to be the first president in recent time to expand the US , so he is trying to get Greenland, Canada or Panama

And aren't so free range in this terrible bird flu era.

The dummies are those who voted for the orange buffoon because they thought they were getting cheap eggs. 😂

Well maybe if Trump treated other countries with respect and not threatening them, he could work something out. Maybe Canada or Mexico? LOL!
