That price tag is missing its Trump “I did this!” sticker.
Not really Trump. That’s avian flu driving that.
There are certainly voters who credit or blame everything in the economy on whoever happens to be President and voted for Trump because they saw a lot of inflation under Biden and hoped that voting for Trump would result in less inflation. Those guys are probably operating on a flawed understanding, though the “if things are going well economically at the moment, credit the President, and if they’re going badly, blame the President, because it must be the current President’s doing” is not a new phenomenon in American politics.
But this particular effect is really driven by nature.

Why are egg prices soaring?
Behind rising egg prices and shortages is a strain of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI), known as H5N1, that killed 13.2 million commercial egg-laying hens in the month of December alone and continues to depopulate flocks into 2025, according to the USDA. Outbreaks of H5N1 were first detected in the U.S. in 2022 and are considered to be the main driver behind the years-long volatility in egg prices.
H5N1, which has a high mortality rate among infected poultry and wild birds, is being watched closely by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention as a potential public health threat. So far, the CDC has received one report of a person dying after being hospitalized with severe illness from the virus. Among cattle, the average mortality and culling rate is 2% or less, according to the American Veterinary Medical Association. However, officials warn that H5N1 is lethal to cats
For now, the virus remains mostly a thorn in the side of U.S. consumers fed up with inflation.
And the CDC being ordered to not report any data on the avian flu via an executive order is also not the current administrations fault I guess?
