If you’re on Truth Social, then you know Donald Trump is constantly posting AND reposting bizarre things.

Well, it’s been approximately six weeks since Trump took office, and he’s most recently gone to Truth Social to seemingly tell Americans to stop complaining about the price of eggs.
Trump reposted an article on his Truth Social account called “Shut Up About Egg Prices — Trump Is Saving Consumers Millions.”

The article, written by conservative activist Charlie Kirk, puts the blame for high egg prices on the Biden administration and the bird flu outbreak, promising that Trump’s team is actively working to fix the problem, but “raising more chickens to lay more eggs takes time.”
“Reversing four years of economic malpractice will take time to reverse, but the building blocks of America’s next great low-inflation, high-wage growth boom have already been laid — and soon enough, so too will the eggs,” Kirk wrote.
Of course, back on the campaign trail, Trump said: “When I win, I will immediately bring prices down, starting on day one.”

And after he became the president-elect, he said: “When you buy eggs, they would double and triple the price over a short period of time, and I won an election based on that. We’re going to bring those prices way down.”

But as we all know, that promise has not come to fruition.
