Trump Tells Americans 'Shut Up About Egg Prices' as He Golfs on Saturday

Watch the breaking news report from Ben Meiselas

By Ben Meiselas

Donald Trump wants you to shut up. Shut up about inflation. Shut up about egg prices. Shut up while he crashes the economy, slashes federal jobs, and golfs his days away at Mar-a-Lago, all on the taxpayer’s dime.

While Americans struggle to afford groceries, Trump spent his weekend vacationing—again—and posting on his failing social media platform. This time, he shared an article from right-wing conspiracy theorist Charlie Kirk, titled: “Shut Up About Egg Prices.” That’s the message from Trump and his cronies to the American people. Stop complaining. Ignore the recession he’s steering us toward. Pretend his disastrous trade wars aren’t sending prices through the roof.

Image

But we’re not shutting up.

The economy is tanking under Trump’s so-called leadership. The Atlanta Federal Reserve is predicting GDP will contract between around -2.8% in the first quarter—a clear sign of recession. Inflation isn’t just a temporary inconvenience; it’s leading to stagflation, where we have low economic growth but rising prices. That’s a nightmare scenario, one that Trump’s erratic policies and billionaire tax giveaways are making worse by the day.

Even Wall Street executives are sounding the alarm, warning that Trump's reckless tariffs could trigger a Great Depression-level economic collapse. But while economic experts worry about the future of the country, Trump and his team are busy gaslighting the public.

Trump’s Secretary of Agriculture, Brooke Rollins, went on Fox News to offer a “solution” to skyrocketing egg prices: just buy chickens! Seriously. She said Americans should simply raise chickens in their backyards to “solve” the problem. Because in Trump’s America, you’re on your own.

While his administration mocks working Americans, Trump’s media allies continue running cover. Larry Kudlow, one of Trump’s top economic propagandists, dismissed the economic crisis as just a “short-term disturbance.” Meanwhile, Trump is busy partying with billionaires at Mar-a-Lago, making shady deals involving crypto scams and meme coins—schemes designed to line his pockets while everyday Americans suffer.

Trump also posted about a continuing resolution (CR) to fund the government, begging Republicans to vote yes. Yes, begging. “Please,” Trump wrote. The same man who pretends to be a strongman is now pleading with Congress to pass a CR because his party is incapable of passing an actual budget.

Republicans control the House. Republicans control the Senate. Republicans control the White House. If they actually wanted to govern, they could. But they don’t. Instead, they want to blame Democrats, who have zero control over the legislative process right now. It’s pathetic.

So what else did Trump do this weekend, besides telling struggling Americans to shut up? He appointed Laura Ingraham and Maria Bartiromo to the Kennedy Center board. Because clearly, what the nation needs in the middle of an economic crisis is two Fox “News” hacks overseeing the performing arts.

Talented artists want nothing to do with Trump’s authoritarian regime. So go ahead, Laura—book Kid Rock and Ted Nugent for your first event. The Kennedy Center is just another piece of America Trump wants to degrade and corrupt.

And of course, no Trump weekend would be complete without a fresh round of scams. He sent fundraising emails begging supporters to buy gold-plated “Trump Oval Office” membership cards, complete with an American flag defiled with his name. He also launched a sweepstakes to have dinner with him at Mar-a-Lago—because nothing screams “populist” like charging your own supporters for a fake chance to eat rubbery steak with a billionaire who despises them.

Trump thinks if he says “shut up” enough times, we’ll stop noticing our wages aren’t keeping up with inflation, that he’s gutting federal jobs, and that his trade wars are making everything worse. But Americans are pissed off—and rightfully so.

Trump promised prices would drop on Day One. Instead, he’s made everything worse, and now he and his lackeys are mocking the very people suffering under his economic mismanagement.

So no, Donald, we won’t shut up. Not about egg prices. Not about inflation. Not about your corruption. We’ll keep growing this network and calling you out every step of the way. If you are able to, please consider joining as a paid subscriber now to keep us going.

A chicken in my backyard to lay eggs? It costs money to house and feed the chickens. Why should I spend money for shelter and food for a chicken that’s gonna produce a few eggs. This administration is SO FAR REMOVED FRIM REALITY. trump should wave his magic wand, or musk could easily buy out the egg market and fix the whole problem in an instant.

Ohh Drat-- Some cities and municipalities have ordinances concerning farm animals and foul.. (plez check). Chicken poop.. Duck poop.. Bird poop is a major concern and drawback-- A chicken may lay 2 to 4 eggs.. not quite a happy breakfast meal- and not every day. The logical solution is multiple hens.. free range- in your yard and domain, walk carefully.

I do think It is a real stretch to have a chicken as a support animal - cry foul if you must- but don't lay an egg.. man.

That’s a great idea. Could it run as a chyron/ticker on conservative tv stations? Or on buildings with digital displays? Or digital billboards in prominent places? Fabulous, illuminating idea.

Any such display should also carry the sum of social support dollars taken from regular Americans and/or the average savings Trump’s tax cuts for the rich will give each billionaire/millionaire.

If that’s too much info for a chyron/ticker, any combo of the above would work. But all of the above would fit on old-style billboards or large format postcards distributed everywhere, but especially in red districts & swing states.

I’ve owned chickens and it requires a considerable investment. I live in an area where it rains a great deal so they require a covered chicken house with top to bottom fencing because they are easy prey for fox, coyotes, dogs and other predators. They need nesting boxes, feeding and watering devices, hay, and feed. Not to mention the time it takes to clean their pens, feed and water them and collect their eggs daily. It could only be a fucking moron to propose backyard chickens as an economical fix for the average family to solve their unaffordable egg problem.

Lying incessantly. Bankrupt SIX times leaving many businesses unpaid for their work. His failed university and having to be FORCED to refund students money. Squirmed out of serving in the military. Burying his wife on a golf course????????? Shoving the president of another country aside to push in front. Walking in front of Queen Elizabeth to inspect HER troops. Refusing to go to the WW2 graves of our servicemen in France when all the other leaders went. Etc etc etc

What about viral mutations that allow it to transfer human-to-human? If there is another pandemic--whether bird flu or ebola or just another strain of flu like Covid, are we ready?

Per an article in Politico: A group of labor unions are asking a federal court for an emergency order to stop Elon Musk ‘s Department of Government Efficiency from accessing the sensitive Social Security data of millions of Americans.

The motion for emergency relief was filed late Friday in federal court in Maryland by the legal services group Democracy Forward against the Social Security Administration and its acting commissioner, Leland Dudek. The unions want the court to block DOGE’s access to the vast troves of personal data held by the agency.

About time! Took them long enough. I've been calling my rep and my senators and screaming for someone to get themselves to court and put a stop to this madness.

Chickens and any type of livestock should not be entered into lightly because they require a great amount of care and upkeep and expenditures and the Animals usually end up being neglected abused or left to die. I see this all the time and stories about goats. I've had goats for 30 years and they are precious little beings. I take care of them just like they were my own children as I do my dogs because no animal deserves to be kept just for a human being's existence. So you people that want to get chickens to have eggs need to do your research before you do any harm to innocent chickens.

He is threatening media, threatening free speech, threatening our allies, and threatening the people who can stop him, the Congress. Claude Malhuret has his number. We all need to read his speech, and believe that what is coming to America is so much worse than we ever imagined. https://archive.ph/wsIkm

I thought the people who were complaining about egg prices and such, like stop how bad can it be? Cuz I’m Canadian…Then , out of curiosity, I went on the American Wal Mart site, and duplicated my grocery order, in Minot ND, vs Wal Mart in Saskatoon, SK. The total, for about 20 items, was $129.00 Canadian in Canada vs $180.00 in Canadian $ ($130 some USD) at the nearest American equivalent. List made using the same items, or nearest equivalent brand, equal sizes, etc. the cheapest damned eggs I could find in Minit wal mart were like $8USD

“A little pain now” in exchange for some undefined benefit in the unspecified future is “trickle down economics” by any other name.

In essence, trust the billionaires to take your money in the form of tax breaks (tax dollars earmarked for the lower class )and they will eventually make your life better. And please realize that the programs that are being put at risk are irrelevant to those making the decisions. The wealthy can afford their own health care, can afford private education and all the costs associated with living a comfortable life. They are stealing from those who can least afford these things, leaving them with little hope of ever getting ahead.

Regan and the Republicans sold this bill of goods to Americans years ago resulting in the transfer of wealth from ‘ordinary citizens’ to the already wealthy. It’s now being repackaged and relabeled, but be certain, it is the same scam. I can’t believe, given the obvious failure of “trickle down economics” that Americans would fall for it again.

I stand with Canada. Fighting Trump to keep CANADA’S Sovereignty,National Security and Territorial Integrity is a BIGGER PRIORITY then UKRAINE

https://substack.com/@calluramichael491850/note/c-98516938?r=1ii73h&utm_medium=ios&utm_source=notes-share-action

Canadian Trump Supporters: You Are a Threat to This Country

This is a post from Liz Cheney. I wish I had written it b,ut I didn't. I'm not sure I could have said it better.

It frames the danger and real threat that Canadians who support Trump's takeover of Canada as the 51st State.

It's more than a Precautionary Take. It's a Dire Warning

“There’s no sugarcoating it anymore. If you support Donald Trump—especially as a Canadian—you are a direct threat to this country. Not just an embarrassment, not just misinformed, but a genuine threat to Canada’s democracy, stability, and future.

This isn’t a debate about left vs. right. It’s about whether you stand with democracy or with a wannabe dictator who is dismantling it in real-time

Trump Is a Danger to Canada—And So Are You

Let’s be clear about what Donald Trump means for Canada:

• Trade & Economy: Trump has already proven he’s willing to rip up trade deals, slap tariffs on Canadian goods, and treat this country like an economic punching bag. His second term will be worse. He wants to exploit Canada, not work with us.

• Right-Wing Extremism: Trump emboldens the most dangerous, radical elements of society—white supremacists, conspiracy theorists, and violent extremists. We saw it with the Freedom Convoy, which had direct ties to American far-right groups. Supporting Trump means welcoming that extremism into Canada.

• Attack on Sovereignty: Trump has openly treated Canada as weak and disposable. If given the chance, he would force our government into submission, demand loyalty to his agenda, and strip us of our independence.

So when a Canadian proudly declares they support Trump over any Canadian leader, what they’re really saying is:

✔️ They would rather see this country controlled by a foreign dictator than governed by Canadians.

✔️ They support the rise of authoritarianism over the principles of democracy.

✔️ They would rather burn this country to the ground than see a government they don’t like in power.

That’s not patriotism. That’s treasonous thinking.

Double the Threat: Canadian Trump Supporters Are Worse Than American Ones

It’s bad enough when Americans fall for Trump’s lies. But when Canadians do it? That’s next-level delusion.

At least in the U.S., Trump voters are dealing with their own country’s fate. Canadians who support Trump are betraying their own country’s interests to cheer for an authoritarian who couldn’t care less if Canada collapsed.

These people aren’t “conservatives.” They’re not “free thinkers.” They’re useful idiots for an anti-democratic movement that would destroy Canada without a second thought.

Time to Call It What It Is

We need to stop treating Canadian Trump supporters as just misinformed or misguided. They are actively choosing to support a fascist movement that threatens everything this country stands for.

They are a risk to our democracy. They are a risk to our sovereignty. They are a risk to our safety.

And we will call them out at every turn. Because when democracy is at stake, silence is not an option.

What Greenland is doing , should also be done in Canada. Canada is being threatened . THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES AND HIS ADMINISTRATION are enforcing Tariffs Threatening Canadas Economic Sovereignty and is against USMC Trade Agreements. The United States President and Administration is threatening ANNEXATION OF CANADA. Which is a Threat to Canadas Sovereignty and NATIONAL SECURITY. The President of the United States and Administration is backing CANADIAN PROGRESSIVE CONSERVATIVE PARTY. Promoting separation of Alberta Canada. A threat to CANADIAN SOVEREIGNTY AND TERRITORIAL INTEGRITY.

Does anyone know that keeping chickens in your backyard will create a health issue for them and their children. There is a reason why chickens are raised on farms and not under the close environment of their homes, children, and neighbors. Ask a doctor about lung diseases caused by breathing chicken shit that becomes suspended in the air even when kept shoveled up and disposed of from their coups. But then again, they think Covid is fake, measles are nothing, vaccines are worthless. If it is just their own health issues and not those of their neighbors and families, I would just allow them to make another fool of themselves as they lie in hospital beds or even in their own coffins.

There were no eggs at Target today--signs on the shelves saying there is an egg shortage. So we went to our local food co-op and paid $8.50 for a dozen eggs from a local farm. In a way, I am glad we can support small local farms because farming in the Arizona desert is no easy. And I have no desire to go get a chicken--and don't you need more than one--and then build a coop to protect it from our dog and the local coyotes. And then there's bird flu.... We'll just cut back on something else and pay the egg prices but we are certainly not buying what we used to as we conserve our money in case Social Security also takes a dip.

First off, the fact that kids need federal help to get an education is obscene and a symptom of the real problem we need to address.. Working parents only need help because corporate America underpays them. Now they can't afford a home and thus don't pay property taxes that fund the schools. And when both parents are working, the kids suffer and need more help in school. Rent and mortgages and food prices and insurance costs keep rising while CEOs and Presidents of corporations make excessively high salaries. But regular worker paychecks don't go up. They can't afford to fund a robust state education system via property tax, or in any other way. So we allocate federal funds as a backstop. How about we pay workers a fair wage? Stop raising prices so the rich get richer and the poor get poorer and the middle class disappears. So many problem could be resolved if corporate America was less greedy and people were paid a fair wage.

I HAD A DREAM THAT COULD SAVE OUR COUNTRY!

I saw TV Ads running showing the American people enjoying life under President Biden in great contrast to the horrors that we are already experiencing under Trump. Families worry free and securely planning their futures.  Not worried about losing their jobs and cuts to health programs and Social Security. Enjoying the outdoors in our parks, in contrast to park closures..

Trump making promises and doing the opposite.. Maybe clips of Kamala warning us of what to expect under Trump and our present reality, it’s worse. Show demonstrations taking place against Trump and Musk .. and ask “Did you elect this guy?” (Musk)

I think you get the picture. I saw Republicans avoiding town halls and Dems eagerly volunteering to meet with the people. I could go on .. but I woke up with a very lighthearted feeling, knowing there is hope to grab our country back before it sinks in this Trump quicksand.

We need to create these ads quickly and run them continuously.

I threw this idea together quickly to get it out but there is so much more. The main idea is to contrast and don’t forget what life has been like under Biden.. Republicans are already spreading lies in that regard. Show the new obnoxious press secretary berating the press.

Ok I have to stop somewhere.

I hope there’s someone out there who can run with this and make it happen.

His tariffs are already having an effect on car prices. A right-wing car dealer in Pennsylvania complained about the tariffs; he said that a man wanted to buy a truck that would last several years. He eventually settled on a $80,000 truck. While he was getting a loan the tariffs went into effect, and the price of the truck went up 25% (20,000). He said the truck will now sit on his lot forever since no one will buy a truck costing $100,000 -- without the sales tax.
