Average Price: Eggs, Grade A, Large (Cost per Dozen) in U.S. City Average – We can all watch together as President Trump brings down the price

1. Didn’t he already say that he can’t lower prices because it’s too hard?

2. Technically Biden brought down egg prices more than anyone in history. 

   I’m guessing the first spike was when they killed billions of chickens to contain those outbreaks. 

3. The funny thing is even without trying they will come down the first year of his presidency

4. He’s not bringing down the price. Prices are high because of the ongoing bird flu epidemic hitting chicken farms hard. This reduces egg availability. The same thing happened in 2022.

   Typical flu vaccine manufacture also involves growing the virus in eggs for six months. So when we want to make more flu vaccine than normal because we want to account for an unusual type that might be spread, like bird flu, we need more eggs. This puts stress on the already limited supply.

5. I cant help commenting since you made a political statement. The goal is not to lower prices but to increase your earning power. The race to the bottom only help multinational corporations.

   How about [adding inflation](https://www.usinflationcalculator.com/inflation/current-inflation-rates/) to your graph, its appalling that eggs are not higher and shows how the industry is been abused.

6. Sorry bud, eggs were expensive so now we have to invade Canada

7. If you think egg prices will go down with the new administration I will believe a tropical resort is being planned for Greenland.

8. Bay Area California here: those are some cheap eggs

9. Seems from the graph that egg prices reduced substantially during his first term, so all he needs to do is repeat that, no?

10. That will be a cold day in hell before that happens

11. Where are there eggs for 3.65?? They’re 6.99 just outside of Chicago at the jewels.

12. For anyone else that’s interested, l looked up whether or not tariffs on goods are considered in CPI data. They are.

13. Avian flu is still a thing. Those prices will still go up regardless of who is in office because there is a virus brutalizing our farmed birds.

    I’m not supporting Trump whatsoever. And I understand that this was one of his stupid platforms. But I think we all should really be aware that chicken product prices are not going anywhere due to another serious problem aside from our dear incoming leader.

14. Encouraging monopolies will surely do it.

15. H5N1 is still out there, too

16. I have 40 hens and don’t give a rat’s ass about the price of eggs.
