Egg prices in the U.S. have surged by nearly 25% since President Trump took office, driven largely by the culling of chickens due to avian flu. USDA Secretary Brooke Rollins suggested an impractical solution for those struggling with rising prices: buy backyard chickens. This controversial remark highlights a disconnect between officials and public realities. Despite Trump’s pledges during his campaign to lower grocery costs, the continued increase in egg prices contradicts his promises and reflects the complexities of the current economic landscape.
Brooke Rollins suggested that struggling Americans should consider buying their own chickens as a solution to rising egg prices, a proposal criticized as impractical.
Despite Trump's promise to reduce consumer prices quickly, egg prices have instead risen significantly since he took office, from $6.55 to $8.16 per dozen.
Rollins highlighted its 'silver lining' suggesting that the egg price crisis could encourage people to consider backyard chickens, indicating a shift in consumer behavior.
During the campaign, Trump promised to bring grocery prices down quickly, only to later admit that it would be difficult to achieve.
