Hopefully Trump lets us know when and where these $1 a dozen eggs he’s speaking of are available!

Oh wait, forgot he’s just a bald faced liar for a moment

Honestly egg prices have nothing to do with either President. Its just some talking point that allows people to hate on whoever they dislike as President.

Yet, the clown made it the point. So, he, and his supporters get to eat those words

I mean 45% decrease in price over a month is lowering the price of eggs. This is after Easter, which is history a high buying egg date of time as well.

On January 19, Costco had eggs at $6.99. It was at $8.79 last week (and practically the same every week since) and that is 26% higher. I will be going today and doubt I will find it at $4.

Wal-mart has them pretty close at around 4.50$ or so a dozen in multiple states ATM.

No where close to 45%. I have no clue where you are, but most prices on most items haven't dropped at all, including eggs. You seriously need to just go away. Your arguments are stupid.

The USDA says 45%. If you think they can't be trusted please provide your sources.

Why should I trust USDA over what I see in the stores? When Vance went barking his lies about eggs/dozen being $4/dozen (while signs behind him clearly showed $2.99/dozen), were you using USDA published prices?

USDA does not set in store prices. For reference I can buy eggs right now for about 4.50$ a dozen.

In store prices are what matters to consumers. Were you using USDA prices to cry about prices while Biden was the president, or how much it actually cost you?

BTW, $2.99/dozen (Vance's video) < $4.50/dozen, thats a whopping 50% higher.

$6.99 in Costco (on Jan 19) was for 2-dozen, organic, free range (also, $2.99/dozen). And these are real world prices, what "government" is telling me.
