Despite Donald Trump's early promises during his 2024 campaign to reduce consumer prices significantly, including groceries, he has since shifted focus to other priorities. Currently, the price of eggs has surged to an average of $7.74 per dozen, with many retailers imposing purchase limits due to a significant shortage. Other grocery items have also seen noticeable price hikes since his re-election. This has led to criticism and the use of metaphor like 'price of eggs' to illustrate the disconnect from his initial pledges on cost control.
In his first term in office, Trump's tariffs cost consumers around $1.4 billion per month, demonstrating the economic impact of his policies on everyday prices.
Many have used the 'price of eggs' analogy to define Trump's focus on consumer prices (or lack thereof) since he started his second term in office.
