After four years of ignoring inflation, Democrats are now criticizing President Donald Trump for not lowering egg prices. They claim Trump is failing to keep his promise to address rising food prices during an egg shortage. Lawmakers like Senator Elizabeth Warren are accusing Trump of not doing enough, citing high egg prices since his administration began.
The criticism escalated on social media, where some influencers blamed Trump for high prices shortly after he took office. They claimed that egg prices hit record highs under his leadership. However, an important detail is that a recent Consumer Price Index report showing a nearly 40% increase in egg prices was based on data from December 2024, before Trump became president. The reported shortages and increased prices are mainly due to an avian flu outbreak.
Despite the blame being directed at him, Trump has issued several executive orders aimed at reducing inflation by boosting energy production, stopping new regulations, and finding ways to reduce government spending. However, progressive lawmakers like Warren do not view these actions as adequate, favoring more direct price controls instead.
In a recent interview, CBS News' Margaret Brennan questioned Vice President JD Vance about Trump's executive orders, asking which specifically lowers prices. Vance responded by explaining that creating more job opportunities and capital investment could help reduce prices and increase wages, making goods more affordable for consumers. He reminded Brennan that Trump has only been in office for a very short time and emphasized that Trump had achieved more in those days than Biden had during his entire term.
