  • The Trump administration is declaring victory for defeating a massive pain point for inflation-weary Americans: Egg prices are plunging.

The article from MSN discusses former President Donald Trump's claim of taking credit for the recent drop in egg prices, which he attributes to his influence on the economy. Despite his assertions, the article points out that many consumers have not noticed a significant decrease in egg prices at grocery stores. It explains that while wholesale egg prices have indeed fallen, the retail prices consumers see are influenced by various factors including supply chain issues, retailer pricing strategies, and the time lag between wholesale and retail price adjustments. The piece also touches on the broader context of egg price fluctuations, mentioning issues like avian flu outbreaks that previously drove up prices, and how economic policies and market dynamics play a role in what consumers ultimately pay.
