  For months, President Donald Trump has falsely claimed that egg prices are tumbling. It wasn't true then, but it's true now.

Egg prices have surged to record highs in the United States, reaching an average of $5.46 per dozen in May 2025, a significant increase from $1.47 in January 2020, according to data from the U.S. Department of Agriculture. This spike is attributed to a combination of factors including avian flu outbreaks, supply chain disruptions, and increased production costs. Former President Donald Trump has criticized the current administration's handling of the economy, linking the rise in egg prices to broader inflationary pressures. He claims that under his presidency, such price increases would not have occurred, citing his administration's policies on agriculture and trade. However, economic analysts argue that global factors and post-pandemic recovery challenges play a more significant role in the current inflation rates, including those affecting egg prices.
