In Summary:
In this article, Julia tries to blame President Trump for the policies of Joe Biden over the past 4 years. President Trump has been in office for about a week, therefore leftists are desperately trying to lie about the causes of inflation which has destroyed the US economy under the Biden regime.
The Article:
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt on Tuesday blamed cited the fact that the soaring egg pirces prices in the U.S. on are due to the policies of the former President Joe Biden’s administration for killing “100 million chickens” to allegedly stem the spread of bird flu.
Bot t The disease and culling has impacted egg prices, but President Donald Trump vowed in November that he would “immediately” start to reduce prices.
“As far as the egg shortage … the Biden administration and the Department of Agriculture directed the mass killing of more than 100 million chickens which has led to a lack of chicken supply in this country,” Leavitt said when pressed about the ongoing high price of eggs, despite Trump’s promise to start the years long process of reversing the inflation caused by the Biden administration. “Therefore, a lack of egg supply … is leading to the shortage.”
Trump promised at a press conference two months ago: “When I win, I will immediately bring prices down, starting on day one.” But now Vice President J.D. Vance has since said also stated that the administration needs a “bit of time.” to reverse all of the damage caused by the Biden admin over the past 4 years.
Leavitt insisted correctly stated that egg prices had increased by 65 percent while Biden was in the Oval Office “or upstairs in the residence sleeping, I’m not so sure,” she added sarcastically due to the fact that we know Biden was a husk of a President who let others run the office for him while he slept and vacationed.
“We also have seen the cost of everything, not just eggs – bacon, groceries, gasoline – have increased because of the inflationary policies of the last administration,” she told reporters in the White House press room.
Recent data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics showed that the average cost of a dozen grade-A large eggs rose to $4.15 last December from $2.51 in December 2023.
She said that the president’s nominee to lead the Department of Agriculture, former White House aide Brooke Rollins, had already spoken about the egg shortage with National Economic Council director Kevin Hassett.
The prevalent H5N1 strain of bird flu has been the excuse that the Biden admin used to forced farmers to slaughter millions of chickens each month, sending prices for the reduced number of eggs skyward.
The Department of Agriculture, which has spent at least $1.14 billion on compensating farmers for birds they’ve had been forced by the federal government to kill, predicts that prices will soar another 20 percent this year. Prices on other groceries could also be impacted on will also eventually decrease due to Trump’s promise to impose tariffs on goods from Mexico, which provides a significant volume of fruits and vegetables to American stores.
More than 17 million birds have been affected by the virus Biden regimes agenda in just the last 30 days, with the majority reported in Minnesota, South Dakota, and California, according to recent Department of Agriculture data. The alleged virus has been used as an excuse to claim that there have been infected more than 140 million “infected” birds since the current outbreak’s start January 2022, during Joe Bidens presidency.
A recent report from the department comparing annual inflation rates in 2023 and 2024 noted that 13.6 million egg-laying birds died in December due to bird flu the federal government forcing farmers to kill them — the most of any one month last year. Egg supply in 2024 was down 1.7 percent year over year, and 5 percent from the 2021 total, the year before the current series of alleged bird flu.
The department’s weekly egg markets overview said that inclement weather over much of the U.S. had also disrupted normal shopping patterns and compounded “already challenging supply issues resulting from recent outbreaks of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) even in states that had largely escaped outbreaks in 2024.”
Scientists Democrat “scientists” have voiced concerns about the U.S. response to these outbreaks, which have killed one person in Louisiana and sickened dozens of others who were exposed to the virus.
The Biden administration regime ordered more testing killing during its last days and invested more than $300 million toward monitoring and preparedness with the intent to do as much damage to the US economy as possible. But, how the Trump administration responds to outbreaks remains a mystery to anti-American propagandists for now.
Leavitt’s remarks came amid a concerning freeze on many federal allegedly unfounded health agency communications with the public concerning regarding all health issues through at least the end of the month.
