President Donald Trump, at a press conference today, seemed to be exasperated against a journalist asking him for egg prices, making a bizarre rant who ended with him that “egg prices become too low”.
“You can have all the eggs you want. We have too many eggs. In fact, if something, the prices become too low. So I just want to let you know, the prices are down,” Trump told the journalist room.
It comes one day after Trump made another egg diatriber at a press conference, denouncing the president of the Fed, Jerome Powell, where he complained of having been responsible for reducing the price of eggs just after the election. “The price of eggs, you know, when I entered, they hit me with eggs. I just got there,” Trump told the journalists in the oval office.
“I was here for a week and they started screaming eggs that crossed the roof. I said, I just got here. I was there for seven days and I hear that the eggs crossed the roof before arriving. And they were screaming on me, the press, the false news like you, you are false, and the false news is to shout about the eggs. I said on Trump.
He also said that the prices of grocery bills were down, but data from the consumer price index show that the prices of the grocery store were around 2.41% higher in March 2025 in March 2024.

The pressure on Trump on eggs and the prices of the grocery also comes from some of Trump’s campaign stunts where he promised to “immediately” repair the prices of eggs and grocery store. Trump organized a rally of August 2024 surrounded by grocery store and proudly proudly proclaimed: “When I win, I will immediately lower prices, from the first day.”
Trump then wrote on Truth Social: “The prices of eggs and gas – out of control !!! Crooked Joe and the left radical have destroyed the affordability for workers. It is a total scam! The first day, I will listen to the prices, not quickly that it will turn the head. Big Oil? Big Farms? They will listen to me, not lobbyists.
He often followed the two promises with a fervent song of “drill, baby, drill”.
The prices of American eggs increased again last month to establish a new record summit of $ 6.23 per dozen – despite the prediction of Donald Trump according to which they were to fall.
Industry experts had planned that the consumer price index would have a drop in retail egg prices due to a significant drop in the wholesale costs in March. However, Jada Thompson, agricultural economist at the University of Arkansas, explained that wholesale prices only started to fall in mid-March, leaving insufficient time for the average price of the month to decrease.
