President Donald Trump has failed to deliver on his promise to lower the price of groceries, including eggs. The record high price of $6.23 a dozen in March means that many Americans will not be able to afford traditional Easter egg hunts.
The president’s inability to address the issue is all the more surprising given his busy schedule of deporting people to Central American prisons and dehumanizing transgender children. It appears that Trump has been too focused on these issues to notice the rising cost of eggs, which have become a luxury item for many families.
As a result, some Americans are being forced to get creative with their Easter celebrations. Instead of traditional egg hunts, they’re decorating potatoes as a cheaper alternative.
Trump recently made false claims about the price of groceries, stating that prices had decreased by 92%. However, this is not true. When asked about the situation in the Oval Office, Trump said that eggs were “all over the place” and that prices had dropped significantly. But when Americans check their local grocery stores, they find that egg prices remain high.
For those who supported Trump during the election, it may be best to hide any MAGA merchandise while celebrating Easter. For those who didn’t vote for either candidate, printing out their 401(k) statements and dyeing them in festive colors might be a more suitable way to spend the holiday. And for those who are disgusted by Trump’s actions, there’s one real egg waiting for anyone who can find a Trump supporter.
