The high price of eggs awhile back,....is he also responsible for the low price I paid just the other day,...99 cents for an 18 count ? Or does it not work that way when it comes to Democrats ? Inquiring minds need to know.......
Short answer: No major Democratic leaders or Democratic Party organizations have claimed that Donald Trump was personally responsible for the temporary spike in egg prices. The claim is a strawman.
Here’s what’s actually true:
Economists, agricultural analysts, and the USDA all attribute the 2022–2023 egg price spike to:
- Avian flu outbreaks that killed tens of millions of egg‑laying hens
- Supply chain disruptions
- Feed cost increases
- Corporate pricing decisions by major producers
None of these were attributed to presidential policy by mainstream economic sources.
No major party blamed Trump for this.
There is
no evidence of:
- Democratic leadership statements
- DNC statements
- Congressional Democrats
- Biden administration officials
…claiming Trump caused egg inflation.
Some
individual social media users joked or made partisan comments, but that is not the same as an official party position.
No.No Democratic officials or party organizations have claimed Trump caused egg prices to fall.
Egg prices fell because:
- The avian flu outbreak subsided
- Flocks were rebuilt
- Supply normalized
This is documented by USDA and industry reports.
Stone’s post is an example of a
false equivalence:
- Invent a claim Democrats didn’t make
- Mock them for the invented claim
- Pretend it exposes hypocrisy
This is a common forum tactic:
attribute an argument to “Democrats” that no major Democrat actually made, then ridicule it.
- No, Democrats did not blame Trump for egg prices.
- No, Democrats are not crediting Trump for lower egg prices.
- The entire premise of Stone’s post is factually unsupported.
