Donald Trump's Latest Statement On Eggs Is Going Viral Because He's Bragging That Prices Are "Getting Too Low"
Donald Trump is once again going viral for another outrageous comment about the cost of eggs. If you recall, just a few months ago, he shared an article telling consumers to "shut up about egg prices" via Truth Social.
Well, during a recent press conference in the Oval Office, Trump bragged to reporters, stating, "We have too many eggs," presumably meaning under his administration. Here's the clip:

"By the way, prices are down. Groceries are down. Eggs, which they, you hit me so hard I'll never forget the first day, the first week in office, they were screaming at me about eggs...they were doubling and tripling, I said, 'I just got here,'" Trump said, pointing to a group of reporters.
"They said you won't have eggs for Easter, well, you can have all the eggs you want...the egg prices are down 87%...but nobody talks about that," he continued.
"You can have all the eggs you want, we have too many eggs. In fact, if anything, the prices are getting too low."
According to USA Today, retail US egg prices continue to remain high, even though wholesale egg prices have declined.
Another person reacted by posting a photo of a carton of eggs at their local grocery store with a price of $10.69.

Fed Stays the Course as Divisions Creep In
US Federal Reserve officials continued to pencil in two interest-rate cuts in 2025, though new projections showed a growing divide among policymakers over the trajectory for borrowing costs as the shockwaves from Donald Trump's tariffs make their way through the US economy. Seven officials now foresee no rate cuts this year, compared with four in March, and two others pointed to one cut. At the same time, 10 officials expect it will be appropriate to lower rates at least twice before the end of 2025. Fed officials and economists broadly expect the president's expanded use of tariffs—most of which are the subject of litigation as potentially illegal—to weigh on economic activity and put upward pressure on prices if they remain in place. Add to that a proposed bill in Congress that could add $3.4 trillion to the national debt, and nervousness in the near term is likely to remain.

Trump administration enhances social media vetting for student visa applicants
Student visa applicants will need to set their social media accounts to public as part of the Trump administration's enhanced vetting of foreign nationals seeking to study in the US. The accounts will be scrutinized for 'any indications of hostility towards the citizens, culture, government, institutions or founding principles of the United States,' according to a diplomatic cable sent by the State Department to embassies and consulates Wednesday. The cable, obtained by multiple outlets, further instructs diplomatic officials to look for any 'advocacy for, aid or support for foreign terrorists and other threats to US national security' and 'support for unlawful antisemitic harassment or violence' in student visa applicants' online presence. 3 The enhanced vetting comes as the US prepares to restart interviews for new and returning student visa applicants. Rafael Henrique – 'For example, during an online presence search, you might discover on social media that an applicant endorsed Hamas or its activities,' the cable states. The memo defines 'online presence' as more than an applicant's postings on platforms such as Facebook and X, and urges screeners to search online databases like LexisNexis to vet potential visa holders. Consular officers are asked to flag applicants who 'demonstrate a history of political activism' and take 'detailed case notes' during the vetting process, including by taking 'screenshots to preserve the record against possible later alteration or loss of the information.' The enhanced vetting will apply to both new and returning student visa applicants. The cable notes that specific findings during the vetting process would not necessarily deem an applicant ineligible for visa, but that they might trigger additional review. The State Department did not immediately respond to The Post's request for comment. 3 The Trump administration is looking for online activity related to antisemitism and that would suggest the person may pose a threat to national security. AP 3 The State Department conducted an enhanced vetting pilot program at Harvard University last month. Bloomberg via Getty Images The cable was sent as the Trump administration prepares to restart consular appointments for student and exchange visitor visa applicants, which were halted last month. The cable asks diplomats to prioritize interviewing physicians applying for J-1 exchange visitor visas and students seeking to study at universities 'where international students constitute 15 percent or less of the total student population.' The Trump administration implemented an enhanced vetting pilot program for foreign students seeking to study at Harvard University last month. Earlier this month, a federal court blocked the Trump administration from implementing a 6-month ban on the entry foreign students attending the Ivy League school.
